How can investing in a large Chess Set help you as a Campground Owner or Manager? It's a summer afternoon and the motor homes are cruising past your campground. Each driver makes the same decision, "Pull over now and call it a day, or go a bit further toward my destination?" As dusk approaches, the decision could go either way. Most importantly, it's an impulse decision made in the few seconds it takes to drive by, or not.
Now consider what happens when the kids see the life-sized chess set. Instant recognition in the seconds available. You will see the kids in the motor home windows jumping and pointing, and you have the impulse decision stacked in your favor.
Cost
Compared to the development of almost any property improvement, MegaChess requires nothing but a checkerboard of tiles and benches for the observers. This is often a multi-use area in a garden or patio.
Liability
We live in a litigious world with insurance rates skyrocketing around pools, athletic fields, barbecues, and even exercise equipment. Few quality-of-life improvements can compete with the lack of exposure of a chess game.
Tournaments
Would you like to pack the place as part of hosting a chess tournament? A less rowdy crowd you're unlikely to find. Then you'll need a draw. Start by sending a picture of your giant chess facilities to the U.S. Chess Federation and get the ball rolling.
Audience
Consider the demographics of chess players compared to the nationwide average: intellectual, quiet, and affluent. Is this the type of guest you seek?
Multiple Use
Checkerboard tiles can serve as a multi-use patio area or even the floor of a cafeteria, and can be moved much easier than a swimming pool or playground. Rain, cold, or dark — a Giant Outdoor Chess game can still happen.
Marketing
Consider a picture in your brochure of a couple of chess players with their kids moving huge Giant Outdoor Chess pieces. Would that speak to your best prospective guests?
Age Spectrum
Some senior guests may not see much value in your tennis courts, and unsupervised kids may not be able to enjoy your pool, but everyone can enjoy a Giant Outdoor Chess Set.
Utilization Rate
Almost everyone knows at least the basic chess moves, and if they brought their fingers, they can enjoy a MegaChess game. Ask for our vinyl "Basic Chess Moves" display.
Theft
MegaChess pieces are larger and harder to steal than towels or board games.

Which Chess Set?
- Upscale hotels & resorts should focus on teak or topiaries.
- If you cater to seniors a lot, the 24" size is the best mix of elegance and ease of lift.
- Lots of kids? Go with plastic.
