About this brb screen

Arcade brings a coin-op cabinet to your pre-show: pixel invaders march across the screen, stars scroll by and a CRT glow wraps it all.

Start the countdown from your phone and the stage timer ticks down; when it hits zero, your “ready” line takes over.

Edit the message, switch on a countdown and start it from your phone as you walk away from the desk.
