A staff appreciation day gives businesses an opportunity to recognise employees away from their normal working routine.
The event could involve:
Games can operate throughout the event, allowing employees to participate whenever they want.
This works particularly well when you want entertainment without forcing the entire workforce into one structured activity.
You don’t necessarily need to hire an external venue for your staff appreciation event.
Subject to suitable access and space, we can help transform a London workplace into a temporary gaming venue.
A larger setup could feature separate:
Employees compete head-to-head on racing games such as Mario Kart DX Twin.
Create high-score challenges and casual entertainment using recognisable arcade attractions such as World’s Largest Pac-Man.
Fast challenges where employees compete for the highest score.
Competitive basketball and sports-based entertainment.
Pool, table football and other games employees can enjoy while socialising.
This gives larger workforces several different activities to choose from.
Sometimes the purpose of an event is simply to say thank you.
Businesses can organise employee appreciation events following:
Interactive entertainment can turn a simple thank-you event into a larger company experience.
Create a temporary arcade where employees can play throughout the afternoon or evening.
Arcade entertainment works particularly well because different games provide different experiences.
Some employees may want competitive racing.
Others may prefer retro gaming, reaction challenges or social games.
For a more energetic party atmosphere, Guitar Hero Arcade can be incorporated alongside racing and classic arcade machines.
Friendly competition can give the event an additional focus.
Employees can attempt several challenges during the day.
For example:
Racing Challenge
Find the best racer in the company.
Reaction Challenge
Test employees against each other on Batak Lite.
Basketball Challenge
Run a company basketball shootout.
Arcade Challenge
Record the highest arcade scores.
Social Games Tournament
Organise pool or table football competitions.
Scores can be recorded throughout the event before winners are announced later in the day.
For larger organisations, employees can compete as departments.
Possible teams include:
Each department can earn points across different games.
This adds friendly competition while encouraging employees from different parts of the organisation to interact.
Hosting the event at your workplace can make a staff appreciation day easier to organise.
Depending on the building, games can be positioned in:
The entertainment can be installed before the event and removed afterwards.
A staff appreciation event doesn’t have to consume an entire day.
Companies can organise an afternoon of entertainment after completing the important work for the day.
For example:
12:30 — Staff Lunch
13:30 — Games Open
14:00 — Company Challenges Begin
16:00 — Competition Finals
16:30 — Awards
17:00 — Drinks & Social
This can provide employees with a genuine break while keeping the event within the workplace.
Alternatively, the entertainment can begin once the working day has finished.
Transform the office into a social space with:
For a more relaxed gaming area, Commercial Pool Table Hire can work alongside arcade entertainment.
Employees can move between games and other areas of the event throughout the evening.
You don’t need a huge workforce to organise an appreciation event.
A smaller company or department can create a strong event using just a few carefully selected games.
A simple setup could combine:
One Arcade Game
One Competitive Challenge
One Social Game
This provides variety without requiring a large office or external venue.
Larger companies need considerably more entertainment capacity.
If hundreds of employees are attending, several games can operate simultaneously.
A large event could be divided into:
Retro and modern arcade machines.
Competitive racing games.
Quick high-score challenges.
Basketball and sports entertainment.
Pool and table football.
Games that several employees can enjoy together.
This helps spread employees throughout the event.
Companies with employees who normally work remotely may bring teams together periodically for company events.
A staff appreciation day can provide an opportunity for colleagues who usually communicate online to meet and socialise in person.
Interactive games give employees an activity to participate in together without making the entire event dependent on formal networking.
This can be particularly useful for companies bringing regional teams into London.
Hybrid businesses may only have their full workforce together occasionally.
An appreciation event can be timed around a company-wide office day, internal conference or annual meeting.
Once the formal part of the day finishes, the workplace can transition into an entertainment environment.
This allows the company to make more of the occasion when employees are already together.
