Firing Up Footfall with Maritime Mayhem

The result was Maritime Mayhem—a cannon-based shooter where players aimed to hit ships of varying sizes and point values, with bonus points awarded for shooting down planes—if their skills were sharp enough. Developed using Unreal Engine, the game struck a balance between realism and stylised fun, delivering an immersive experience without feeling overly simulated.

Displayed on a large screen and controlled using a roller ball and a prominent fire button, Maritime Mayhem provided a satisfying, arcade-style interaction that attracted visitors throughout the event.

Maritime Mayhem made its debut at Sea-Air-Space 2025 to an overwhelmingly positive response. Not only did it draw consistent crowds to the stand, but it also served as an effective lead-generation tool. Using the event’s official app, staff seamlessly captured participant details by scanning visitor badges, ensuring a smooth and efficient process.

The game proved to be a standout success—boosting engagement, generating qualified leads, and reinforcing Trident Maritime Systems’ reputation as a creative, innovative presence in the defence sector.
