Employees can choose whether they want serious competition or casual entertainment.
Transform part of your office or event venue into a temporary arcade.

Scores can be recorded throughout the evening while employees continue enjoying the rest of the event.
Racing games can become one of the main attractions.
Employees can compete casually or take part in an organised tournament.
You could run:
Qualifying → Semi-Finals → Grand Final

Games can be played casually or turned into team competitions.
A social-games area containing pool, table football and arcade machines can complement the more competitive racing and reaction attractions.
Friday is an obvious time for an office social.
Rather than everyone leaving work and travelling to another venue, suitable workplaces can be transformed into an entertainment space.
A Friday event could run:
16:00 — Games Open
17:00 — Food & Drinks
18:00 — Competitions
19:00 — Finals
19:30 — Winners Announced

Businesses that organise regular employee events can change the entertainment throughout the year.
One event could focus on arcade machines.
Another could involve racing and reaction challenges.
Another could be a full company tournament.
This gives employees different experiences rather than repeating the same social every month.
End-of-quarter socials can provide an opportunity to celebrate company or departmental performance.
Games can be used following:
