GameZone turned up the excitement at the Aurora Music Festival 2026, transforming its presence into more than just a booth. It became a lively, interactive hub where festivalgoers could play, win, and engage in real time. By blending digital gaming with on-ground experiences, the GameZone space drew a steady crowd across the two-day event and offered a dynamic way for attendees to stay entertained while waiting for the main performances.
For both days of the festival, GameZone set up a special booth designed to give attendees a fun and rewarding break. Visitors were treated to free drinks while participating in a variety of games that offered limited-edition merchandise and major prizes. Among the highlights was the “Ikaw Ang Alas” Punching Machine, where participants aimed to beat the trending score set by boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, while the Cash Grab booth gave players a chance to win game vouchers and other rewards.
The energy peaked on Day 1 when Rayver Cruz, a Sparkle artist and judge from Stars on the Floor 2026, stepped up to the challenge. On his first attempt, he surpassed Pacquiao’s impressive score of 782 by landing an even higher 859, before also trying his luck at the Cash Grab booth. Cruz shared that he was grateful for the experience, joking that he felt like a boxer after beating the score and noting that Pacquiao likely set it just to be beaten, adding that if the boxing legend took the challenge seriously, he could probably push the score even higher or maybe even to the point of breaking the machine.
Aside from the booth, GameZone extended its presence to the main festival stage, bringing in fan-favorite personalities like Jackie Gonzaga and the Baby Dolls to deliver a high-energy performance that helped kick off the night’s festivities.
Ava Castillo, Brand Events Manager of GameZone, shared how meaningful the collaboration was for the company, expressing their excitement in being part of a festival that celebrates Filipino musical talent while gathering fans from across the country in Clark, Pampanga. She also highlighted the warm welcome from organizers, which allowed GameZone to showcase both its interactive booth and on-stage entertainment.
To date, GameZone continues to strengthen its presence in entertainment through partnerships with major celebrities, including box-office superstar Vice Ganda and boxing legend Manny Pacquiao.
With its mix of gaming, celebrity appearances, and live performances, GameZone successfully elevated the festival experience, proving that music and interactive entertainment make a powerful combination.
