Planning a company event and looking for entertainment people will actually want to play?
Boutique Party Hire provides arcade machine and interactive game hire for company events throughout London and across the UK.
Whether you’re organising a company celebration for 50 employees or a large corporate event for hundreds of guests, we can supply individual games or build a complete arcade entertainment area.
Our company event hire range can include:
We deliver, install and collect the equipment, allowing your team to concentrate on running the event.
Arcade machines work particularly well at company events because guests don’t need complicated instructions.
Walk over.
Choose a game.
Challenge a colleague.
Play.
That simplicity makes arcade equipment suitable for events where people are arriving at different times or moving between food, drinks, presentations and entertainment.

For this page, use your genuine day-hire event photographs.
Unlike the long-term commercial pages we’ve been building, your event photographs are exactly what we want here.
Good images include:
Branded Arcade Machines at Corporate Events
Basketball Games at Company Parties
Racing Simulators at Events
Reaction Games
Multiple Games Installed Together
Arcade Machines Inside London Venues
Corporate Guests Playing Games
If an image displays a day-hire price, that’s much less of a problem on this page because the visitor is specifically looking for temporary event hire.
Company parties are an ideal environment for competitive games.
Instead of relying entirely on music, drinks or passive entertainment, arcade machines give employees something they can actually participate in.
Popular options can include:
Basketball
Racing
Batak
Reaction Games
Air Hockey
Retro Arcade
Boxing Machines
These can be spread throughout the venue or grouped together into a dedicated games area.
Planning an event for employees?
Arcade games can work particularly well because they provide informal entertainment without forcing everybody into one organised activity.
Employees can play when they want throughout the event.
This can work for:
Annual Staff Parties
Company Celebrations
Summer Parties
Christmas Parties
Employee Appreciation Events
Office Parties
Team Socials
Company Milestones
We can supply arcade equipment for corporate events of different sizes.
A smaller event might require:
2–4 Games
while a larger company event could potentially use:
5–10 Games
or even a complete arcade entertainment area.
The correct setup depends on guest numbers, venue size, available access and the type of event.
Larger corporate events can support multiple entertainment zones.
For example:
Basketball + Batak + Reaction Game
Linked racing simulators
Classic arcade cabinets
Air hockey + football + interactive games
This gives guests different types of entertainment throughout the venue.
You don’t need ten machines to create an impact.
For smaller events, two or three carefully selected games can be enough.
For example:
Basketball + Batak + Retro Arcade
or:
Racing Simulators + Reaction Game
or:
Air Hockey + Basketball + Arcade Cabinet
We can build the setup around the available space.
Arcade games can be hired for businesses celebrating:
Company Anniversaries
Sales Targets
Major Contracts
Product Launches
Office Openings
Business Milestones
Team Achievements
Company Awards
The games provide informal entertainment alongside the main celebration.
Celebrating 10, 20, 25 or even 50 years in business?
Arcade entertainment can form part of a larger anniversary event.
Retro games can be particularly interesting where the company wants to introduce a nostalgic element.
You can also combine classic-style machines with modern interactive games.
Employee appreciation events are designed around rewarding staff.
Arcade games can provide entertainment without requiring employees to participate in structured team-building exercises.
Guests can simply choose the games they want to play.
This works particularly well alongside:
Food
Drinks
DJs
Live Entertainment
Awards
Presentations
Other Activities
Company away days often combine meetings and presentations with entertainment.
Arcade games can potentially be introduced during:
Lunch Breaks
Afternoon Entertainment
Evening Parties
Networking Periods
Post-Conference Entertainment
They can provide a clear transition from business content into the social part of the day.
Competitive arcade games can also be incorporated into informal team-building activities.
For example:
Highest Basketball Score
Fastest Reaction Time
Racing Tournament
Department vs Department
Management vs Staff
Team Leaderboard
This allows businesses to create competition without requiring complicated event formats.
For larger companies, games can be used to create internal competitions.
For example:
Sales vs Marketing
Finance vs Operations
London vs Manchester
Management vs Employees
Scores can potentially be recorded throughout the event before announcing a winner later.
Basketball arcade games are excellent for corporate entertainment because the rules are immediately obvious.
Guests can compete individually or challenge colleagues.
They work particularly well for:
Company Parties
Sports-Themed Events
Summer Parties
Team Building
Employee Events
Basketball machines also create strong visual impact inside larger venues.

Two colleagues can race simultaneously, making linked machines particularly suitable for company entertainment.

Corporate Parties
Motorsport-Themed Events
Automotive Events
Company Celebrations
Staff Socials

Custom Graphics
This can make the entertainment feel more integrated into the event.
Basketball machines can potentially become a highly visible branded entertainment feature.

This can work particularly well for company launches and larger corporate events.
Reaction games can potentially be incorporated into branded challenges.

Potential formats include:
Top 10 Basketball Scores
Fastest Reaction Time
Fastest Racing Lap

A winner can then be announced later in the event.
Arcade games can also help provide an informal activity during networking periods.
Rather than every guest standing around holding a drink, games give people something to interact around.
Two people who haven’t met can compete on basketball or racing without needing a formal introduction.
This can make arcade equipment useful at company events involving employees from different offices or departments.
Arcade games can be installed around drinks receptions where the venue has sufficient space.
Suitable equipment might include:
Retro Arcade Cabinets
Reaction Games
Batak
Racing Machines
Basketball
The entertainment can run throughout the reception.
Arcade machines can also complement formal dinners.
Rather than positioning games directly around dining tables, a separate entertainment area can be created for use:
Before Dinner
Between Sections of the Event
After Dinner
During the Evening Party
This allows the event to move naturally from dining into entertainment.
Company awards nights can combine:
Dinner
Presentations
Awards
Drinks
Music
Arcade Entertainment
Games can be particularly effective during the post-awards section of the evening.
Summer company events can include both indoor and suitable outdoor entertainment depending on the venue and equipment.
Arcade games can complement:
Food
Bars
Music
