Boutique Party Hire provides arcade machines, interactive games and competitive entertainment for office parties and workplace events across London.
Instead of moving your entire team to another venue, why not bring the entertainment directly into the office?
We can help transform suitable workplaces into temporary entertainment spaces for staff parties, company celebrations, Friday drinks, Christmas parties, summer events, employee rewards and team socials.
With a large range of games available, you can create anything from a small games corner for a department party to a much larger temporary arcade for hundreds of employees.
Office parties can take many different forms.
Some businesses want relaxed entertainment employees can enjoy while having drinks and food. Others want competitive activities, tournaments and department challenges.
Our range allows you to build an office party around either format.
Popular styles of entertainment include:
Because the games can operate throughout the event, employees can participate whenever they want.
This makes interactive games particularly suitable for office parties where guests are also eating, drinking, networking and socialising.
One of the most exciting options is creating a temporary arcade inside your office.
Instead of hiring one attraction, multiple games can be positioned around the workplace to create a complete entertainment area.
A larger office could have separate areas for:
Racing Games
Employees compete head-to-head throughout the evening.
Retro Arcade Games
Classic-style games provide casual entertainment and high-score competitions.
Reaction Games
Quick challenges allow employees to compete for the fastest reactions.
Social Games
Pool, table football and other multiplayer games create more relaxed areas.
Sports Games
Basketball and similar games can add another competitive element.
The result can feel much more like an organised company event than simply having drinks in the office.
Friday drinks are an easy opportunity to add interactive entertainment to the workplace.
Instead of employees finishing work and simply gathering around the office bar or kitchen, games can turn the evening into a proper staff social.
Games can be positioned around:
For regular company socials, you could also change the style of entertainment between events.
One month might focus on arcade games, while another could involve reaction challenges, racing or a company tournament.
Office parties aren’t just for Christmas.
Businesses hold staff parties throughout the year to celebrate achievements and bring employees together.
Game hire can work for:
The entertainment can be scaled around the number of employees attending.
You don’t need hundreds of employees to create a good office games event.
For smaller teams, a few carefully selected games can provide plenty of entertainment.
A small office might create:
One Arcade Area
A couple of arcade machines provide casual entertainment throughout the event.
One Competition Game
Employees compete for the highest score.
One Social Game
A multiplayer table game creates a more relaxed area.
This works particularly well for department socials and smaller London offices.
Larger London offices require a different approach.
If several hundred employees are attending, having only one or two games can create queues.
Instead, multiple entertainment areas can be created throughout the venue.
For example:
A selection of retro and modern arcade machines.
Head-to-head racing games.
Several quick reaction challenges.
Basketball and competitive sports games.
Pool, table football and other multiplayer games.
Prize-based attractions for suitable events.
This increases the number of employees who can participate at the same time.
Turn your office party into a company-wide competition.
Employees can compete individually or represent different departments.
Possible challenges include:
Scores can be recorded throughout the event.
At the end of the evening, you can announce the winners.
For larger businesses, department competitions can create additional interaction between teams.
You could organise:
Sales vs Marketing
Finance vs HR
Operations vs Management
Design vs Development
Product vs Engineering
London Office vs Regional Office
Employees can collect points across several different games.
The department with the highest overall score wins.
Christmas is one of the biggest occasions for office entertainment.
If your business has suitable space, holding the Christmas party inside the workplace can remove the need to hire a separate venue.
Arcade and interactive games can be combined with:
A temporary arcade can become one of several entertainment areas around the office.
For larger Christmas parties, an entire area of the office can be converted into a temporary arcade.
Different machines can be positioned together to create a dedicated gaming zone.
Employees can move between the arcade and other areas of the Christmas party throughout the evening.
This can be particularly effective for companies with large London headquarters where several floors or breakout areas are available.
Games can also provide entertainment for summer office parties.
London businesses often organise:
Depending on the venue, games can be installed indoors while other parts of the event take place outside.
This gives employees different entertainment options throughout the day.
Why wait for a major company celebration?
An office games night can be an event in its own right.
Create several challenges around the workplace and allow employees to compete throughout the evening.
You could have:
Racing Championship
Reaction Championship
Arcade High-Score Competition
Basketball Challenge
Table Football Tournament
Pool Tournament
Finish the evening by announcing the overall office champion.
Businesses can use office entertainment as a reward following periods of strong performance.
This might follow:
Bringing entertainment into the workplace can make it easier to involve a large number of employees.
Finished a major project?
An office games event can provide a simple way for everyone involved to celebrate.
This can be particularly useful for teams from different departments that have spent months working together.
Once the formal working day finishes, the office can transition into an entertainment space with games, drinks, food and music.
Games can also help provide an informal activity at events involving new employees.
This could include:
Interactive entertainment gives employees something to do together without requiring a highly structured activity.
