One of the biggest corporate party ideas is to create an entire temporary arcade inside your venue.
Instead of relying on one activity, guests can move between different games throughout the event.
A corporate arcade could include:
Racing Games
Retro Arcade Machines
Basketball
Air Hockey
Boxing Machines
Pool Tables
Reaction Games
Giant Arcade Games
This works particularly well for larger company parties because several guests can play simultaneously.
Create a company racing tournament with Mario Kart DX Twin Arcade Hire.
Mario Kart is instantly recognisable and gives two players the opportunity to compete directly.
You could organise:
Run qualifying races throughout the party before holding a final later in the evening.
For a more traditional racing competition, consider Overtake DX Twin Arcade Hire.
Create a simple:
competition.
Record the best results throughout the event and announce the winner before the party finishes.

Our Commercial Air Hockey Table Hire can be used casually throughout the event or as part of a tournament.
Create a knockout competition:
Round One
Quarter Finals
Semi Finals
Final
Then crown your company air hockey champion.
Who has the hardest punch in the company?
Boxing Machine Hire can turn that question into a competition.
Potential themes include:

Commercial Pool Table Hire provides a more relaxed social activity.
Pool can work particularly well near:

Guests can compete across both games.

Zoltar Fortune Teller Hire provides a very different attraction from traditional competitive games.
Zoltar can work particularly well for:

Split employees into teams.
Each team nominates players for different games.
For example:

This turns individual arcade machines into one larger corporate activity.

Create an area dedicated to sports and competitive games.

This gives guests several different ways to compete.
For a less structured party, position social games around the drinks and networking areas.

Celebrating a major company milestone?
Interactive games can provide entertainment alongside speeches, awards and food.
For milestone anniversaries, you could even select arcade machines associated with different decades to create a nostalgic element.
Arcade machines can operate around the main awards programme.
For example:
Drinks + games.
Games available.
Formal presentation.
Arcade + DJ + bar.
This gives guests entertainment before and after the formal ceremony.

Pool, air hockey and arcade machines allow guests to interact while still having conversations.
They can also give people a natural reason to move around the venue.
Entertaining important customers?
Interactive games can provide a less formal experience than traditional corporate hospitality.
You could even create:
using racing, basketball or air hockey.
Where access allows, arcade machines can potentially be delivered directly into offices.
This can turn:
Atriums
Breakout Areas
Staff Cafés
Event Rooms
Large Meeting Rooms
into temporary gaming areas.
This can be particularly useful where you don’t want to hire an external venue.
For larger guest numbers, I would create multiple entertainment zones rather than relying on one attraction.
For example:
Mario Kart + Overtake + Moto GP.
PAC-MAN + Space Invaders + Street Fighter.
Basketball + Boxing + Air Hockey + Pool.
Alpine Racer.
Zoltar + Giant Gumball Machine.
This gives guests plenty of variety.
You can hire individual games or create a larger arcade package.
For a complete option, view the Platinum Arcade Experience Package.
Alternatively, browse the complete Arcade Machine Hire London & UK Nationwide collection and choose individual machines.
For a smaller party, consider two or three strong games.
For example:
Mario Kart
Air Hockey
Street Fighter
This provides several simultaneous activities without creating an oversized gaming area.
For around 100 guests, consider a broader selection.
For example:
Mario Kart
Basketball
Air Hockey
Boxing
Retro Arcade
This creates more capacity and variety.
For larger corporate parties, multiple gaming areas may be more appropriate.
Combine:
Racing Games
Sports Games
Retro Games
Reaction Games
Giant Arcade Attractions
This helps spread guests around the venue and reduces queues.
Think about what you want guests to do.
For head-to-head competition, consider:
Mario Kart
Air Hockey
