Guests throw gold-foil tickets, vouchers or printed notes toward powerful internal fans that send them swirling around the participant for a timed 30-second grab. The highest-engagement activation in the range.
Typical season: All year
One of six themed variants — view our full giant snow globe range to compare themes, seasons and event uses.
What is the Cash Grabber Globe?
The Cash Grabber Globe is a 3.5-metre walk-in snow globe you step inside, dressed as a complete themed scene and branded to your marketing message. GlobeHire delivers, installs, crews and de-rigs it, typically for all year.
The Cash Grabber Globe is the highest-energy activation in the range. Guests throw gold-foil tickets, vouchers or printed notes toward powerful internal fans that send them swirling around the participant for a timed grab.
It draws a crowd before anyone has even entered — spectators gather to watch, phones come out, and the clip does the marketing for you. Rewards are entirely under your control.
How does the Cash Grabber Globe work on the day?
Our crew install and dress the globe before you open, then groups enter for a short timed slot, throw the medium toward the internal fan themselves and take their photos. One group roughly every three minutes is the realistic ceiling — around 20 groups an hour.
- 1Crew install the globe and load your chosen media — vouchers, gold tickets or printed notes.
- 2Guests qualify through your mechanic, then enter alone with their media for a timed grab, usually 30 seconds.
- 3The guest throws the media toward the fans, which lift it into a fast swirl; whatever they grab and hold is theirs to redeem.
- 4Media is collected and reloaded between turns by our host, keeping the queue moving.
- 5A crowd naturally forms around each turn, which is where much of the value sits.

How much does Cash Grabber Globe hire cost, and what affects the price?
We quote every booking individually rather than publishing a fixed rate, because the same globe costs very different amounts to run for one day in a mall than for five weeks outdoors. Longer bookings are quoted at a reduced daily rate.
Length of hire
One-day activations carry the same delivery, install and de-rig as a five-week run, so longer bookings are quoted at a lower daily rate.
Indoor or outdoor
All six variants run indoors or outdoors, subject to site and weather conditions. Outdoor sites add 200 kg of ballast and on-site anemometer readings against a 24 mph (38 km/h) maximum operating wind speed, and need a client-arranged generator where there is no mains supply; indoor malls are usually simpler but have out-of-hours load-in windows.
Opening hours and crew
Crew is costed against your opening hours. Extended evening or multi-session days need a second crew member.
Theming and branding
Standard themed dressing is included. Bespoke artwork, custom backdrops and additional props are quoted on top.
Location and access
We cover the whole of Great Britain. Distance, congestion or clean-air charges and difficult load-in routes affect logistics costs.
Add-ons
Hosts, performers, photo backdrops, share prompts, queue management and extra props are each priced individually so you only pay for what you use.
Send your dates, venue type and opening hours and you'll have a tailored quote — including theming options and the safety paperwork your venue needs — within 48 hours.
What should you check before booking, and what mistakes should you avoid?
Three things decide whether an activation runs smoothly: a 5.5m × 5.5m operational area for the 3.5m globe, two standard 13A sockets, and a load-in route at least 0.85m wide. Confirm those before you commit to dates.
- ❄A 5.5m × 5.5m operational area with 4m clear height for the 3.5m × 3.5m × 3.5m globe, plus a separate queueing area sized to your expected footfall.
- ❄Two standard 13A sockets — 1.8 kVA / 8.0A. Where no suitable mains supply exists, the client arranges a safe generator solution.
- ❄A load-in route the kit can be trolleyed along, with a minimum clear width of 0.85m — tell us about stairs, lift access, restricted doorways, uneven surfaces, obstructions or a long push from the unloading point.
- ❄Two GlobeHire operational staff are supplied as standard; additional staffing can be arranged for break cover, extended hours or split shifts.
- ❄Access: entry is not step-free — approximately two conventional steps and a threshold lip of around four inches. Raise specific accessibility requirements with us before booking.
- ❄Realistic throughput: about one group every three minutes at the fastest, so roughly 20 groups per hour. Don't promise more.
- ❄Sign-off from the venue's health and safety team — send them our RAMS early rather than the week before.
- ❄Artwork deadlines. Branded wraps are the most common cause of a rushed build, so lock the design in first.
- ❄Staffing at your end for queue marshalling at peak times if you're not adding our hosts.
Our risk assessments and method statements are available to download, so your venue's health and safety team can review them before you sign anything.

Every turn uses the same media volume, fan setting and countdown, and the terms are displayed at the entrance so participants know exactly what applies.
How does the Cash Grabber Globe compare with the rest of the range?
The globe, footprint, crew and safety paperwork are identical across the range — what changes is the season it's dressed for, the medium inside and the story the scene tells. Pick the theme that matches when you need footfall.
