Planning a large corporate event and need entertainment capable of keeping hundreds of guests engaged?
Boutique Party Hire provides arcade machines and interactive games for large-scale corporate events across London and the UK.
Rather than relying on one or two attractions, larger events can be divided into multiple entertainment zones containing:
Arcade Machines
Racing Simulators
Retro Games
Basketball Games
Boxing Machines
Reaction Games
Air Hockey
Pool Tables
Competitive Games
Large-Format Arcade Machines
Whether you’re organising a company celebration, awards night, Christmas party, conference or major brand event, we can provide multiple games to create a substantial entertainment area.

Large corporate events need a different approach to smaller parties.
If hundreds of guests are attending, one popular game can quickly become overwhelmed.
Instead, create multiple entertainment points.

A large games area allows several groups to participate simultaneously.
Rather than placing every machine together, divide the venue into different gaming areas.
Twin racing machines.
Basketball + Boxing.
PAC-MAN + Street Fighter.
Air Hockey + Pool.
Fast-paced interactive challenges.
Guests can move naturally between each area throughout the event.
For substantial venues, create a complete temporary arcade.
This could include:
5 Arcade Games
10 Arcade Games
15 Arcade Games
or a larger selection depending on the event, venue and requirements.
The objective is to create enough variety and capacity for your audience rather than simply filling the room with machines.
Racing machines are ideal for creating dedicated competitive areas.
Consider:
Mario Kart DX Twin Arcade Hire
Multiple racing attractions allow several guests to compete simultaneously.
For a major event, create:
Turn your racing zone into an event-wide competition.
Run races throughout the evening.
Employees can compete:
Individual vs Individual
Department vs Department
Office vs Office
Client vs Employee
Management vs Staff
You could then hold a final race between the strongest competitors.
Create another section of the venue around sports and high-score games.
Start with:
and:
Guests can compete for:
Highest Basketball Score
Highest Boxing Score
Team Results
Department Rankings
These games provide fast challenges that can continue throughout the event.
Retro gaming can appeal to a wide corporate audience.
Create a dedicated retro zone featuring machines such as:
World’s Largest Space Invaders Hire
Street Fighter Retro Arcade Machine Hire
The larger machines can also provide visual impact within substantial event spaces.
Not every guest wants to compete for a leaderboard.
Create a more relaxed area using:
Commercial Air Hockey Table Hire
and:
These can provide informal entertainment around networking and drinks.
A social games area can complement the faster-paced arcade zone.
Large company Christmas parties are one of the strongest uses for multi-game entertainment.
For a major Christmas event, create:
Retro games.
Driving machines.
Basketball + Boxing.
Pool + Air Hockey.
Festive entertainment and props.
Guests can choose what they want to do rather than everyone participating in the same activity.
If you’re organising an event for a company with hundreds of employees, gaming can provide an entertainment format that works across different groups.
Some employees will want to race.
Others will want retro games.
Others will prefer pool.
Others will want to compete for high scores.
Providing variety is particularly important when the audience is large.
The same concept works for summer parties.
Create indoor gaming and entertainment zones alongside the outdoor event.
This gives guests additional entertainment and provides an option that isn’t dependent on the weather.
Suitable games can include:
Racing
Basketball
Boxing
Retro Arcades
Reaction Games
Pool
Air Hockey
Awards nights often contain periods where guests are networking before and after the main ceremony.
Games can provide entertainment during:
Arrival
Drinks Reception
Networking
Post-Awards Party
Late Evening Entertainment
For a large awards event, several gaming areas can be positioned around the venue.
Major conferences can have hundreds or thousands of delegates.
Arcade games can be positioned within:
Networking Areas
Exhibition Halls
Sponsor Zones
Breakout Spaces
Hospitality Areas
Evening Receptions
Conference Parties
Multiple attractions can help distribute guests around a large venue.
For major exhibition stands and exhibition halls, multiple games can create a complete interactive experience.
Build around:
Head-to-head competition.
Fast visitor challenges.
Basketball.
Arcade gaming.
Games lounge.
This can be particularly useful for substantial stands where one attraction would not fill the available space.
For major experiential campaigns, create an entire branded gaming environment.
Potential concepts include:
For suitable projects, discuss branding and campaign requirements when enquiring.
Large product launches often require several forms of entertainment.
Arcade games can create an additional area away from the main presentation or product experience.
Choose games that suit the campaign.
Racing.
Reaction + Retro.
Basketball + Competitive Games.
Full Arcade.
Social + Retro Games.
For events with more than 100 guests, think about how quickly each game can accommodate participants.
A mixture of game types can help.
Use fast high-score games alongside longer head-to-head attractions.
For example:
Basketball
Boxing
Reaction Games
alongside:
Racing
Air Hockey
Pool
This provides different participation speeds across the event.
For a larger audience, increase the number of simultaneous activities.
Rather than relying on one entertainment area, consider distributing games around the venue.
For example:
Five machines.
Pool + Air Hockey.
Basketball + Boxing.
Retro Game.
This encourages guests to discover entertainment throughout the venue.
At 500+ guest events, capacity becomes particularly important.
A substantial gaming setup could contain multiple:
Racing Machines
Sports Games
Retro Games
Reaction Challenges
Social Games
Rather than simply asking “what games should we hire?”, think about:
This is one of the most important considerations for a large corporate event.
For very large events, arcade gaming should be treated as an entertainment zone rather than a handful of individual machines.
Create a substantial area with multiple games running simultaneously.
Consider:
Several Head-to-Head Games
Several Quick High-Score Challenges
Social Games
Large Visual Machines
Multiple Competition Points
Floor plans, access information and event timings become especially important at this scale.
Turn multiple machines into one company-wide competition.
Create challenges such as:
Highest Score.
Highest Score.
Fastest Result.
Highest Score.
Best Result.
Then crown:
at the end of the event.
Large companies can use different departments as teams.
Create:
vs
vs
vs
vs
Each department competes across several games.
This gives employees another reason to interact with attractions throughout the event.
For companies with several offices, create an inter-office challenge.
For example:
vs
vs
vs
Employees compete on behalf of their location.
This can work particularly well for national company events where teams don’t regularly meet in person.
Not every large event needs a traditional arcade.
Create a premium games lounge instead.
Combine:
Pool Tables
Air Hockey
Retro Games
Racing
Seating
Networking Areas
This can create a more relaxed environment for client entertainment and corporate hospitality.
For a major corporate party, transform a large area of the venue into a temporary arcade.
The games arrive for the event.
The arcade is installed.
Guests use it throughout the event.
The equipment is removed afterwards.
This allows companies to create a substantial arcade experience without needing a permanent gaming venue.
