# Charlotte Tilbury - Hong Kong Pop-ups -- 65-inch Pinball Game & AI Photo Booth

> For two Charlotte Tilbury pop-up phases in Hong Kong, MLABART supplied the interactive hardware and software: a 65-inch screen-based Airbrush pinball game, followed by an AI-assisted photo booth. The pinball phase took place at Harbour City; both phases translated the brand experience into an activity visitors could play or capture.

- **Client:** Charlotte Tilbury
- **Industry:** Beauty
- **Location:** Hong Kong

## Project facts

- **Brand:** Charlotte Tilbury
- **Location:** Hong Kong - Harbour City for the pinball phase
- **Format:** Two successive retail pop-up phases
- **Our role:** Interactive hardware, software, AI software & network commissioning

## 65-inch screen-based pinball

Visitors play Airbrush Pinball Interactive with physical buttons in front of a 65-inch display. The ball, targets and score are rendered by the game software, connecting a familiar arcade action to the branded interface.
MLABART supplied the screen-based game's hardware and interactive software. The supplied interface sheets document the idle screen, instructions, game and result states.

## A later AI-assisted photo activation

A later pop-up phase introduced an AI-assisted photo booth. MLABART supplied the interactive and AI software alongside the hardware, supporting a photo-taking experience and its configured photo-print or promotional-voucher output.
The game and photo booth belonged to successive phases. Their photographs and operating estimates are presented separately.

## Software, hardware and on-site connectivity

The project record describes roughly 30 days of production, seven days of testing and two days of installation. Intermittent local connectivity was addressed by configuring TP-Link networking equipment on site.

## Scenario

Two successive Charlotte Tilbury pop-up phases in Hong Kong: an Airbrush Pinball Interactive at Harbour City and a later photo-booth activation. The project brief focused on brand awareness and participation.

## Interaction

In the first phase, visitors pressed physical buttons to control a pinball game on a 65-inch display. In the later phase, visitors entered an AI-assisted photo experience and received an output through the configured photo-print or promotional-voucher workflow.

## Technologies

- Interactive Game
- AI Photo

## Marketing value

A short game gives visitors a way to engage with the product story, while a photo experience gives the later activation a personal takeaway.

## Results

The project team reports approximately one month of operation for each phase, with an estimated 100+ participants per day in each phase. The figures describe the phases separately; no combined attendance total is stated.

Source: MLABART's project description supplied on October 7, 2026. Daily participant figures are project-team estimates for each phase, not audited unique visitors. The later booth's exact venue and both phases' calendar dates were not specified.

## MLABART's delivery scope
