Corporate socials don’t need to revolve entirely around food and drinks.
Interactive games give employees something to participate in throughout the event.
Popular styles of entertainment can include:
Employees can play whenever they want without needing the whole event to stop for a structured activity.
Create a temporary arcade for your company social.
Multiple machines can be grouped together to create a dedicated gaming area within your office or event venue.
For competitive racing, Mario Kart DX Twin can provide head-to-head entertainment.
Combine this with recognisable arcade attractions such as World’s Largest Pac-Man to create a varied arcade zone.
Racing games are ideal for company socials because employees can compete directly against colleagues.
You can keep the racing casual or turn it into a tournament.
A competition could include:
Qualifying Rounds
Quarter-Finals
Semi-Finals
Grand Final
For larger businesses, departments can nominate their fastest racers to compete in the final.
Create a dedicated reaction area where employees compete for the highest score.
Games such as Batak Lite, Catch It Reaction Ring and Speed of Light can be used to create fast competitive challenges.
Scores can be recorded throughout the event.
At the end of the evening, the highest-scoring employee can be announced.
Add sports-style entertainment to your company social.
Employees can compete individually or represent departments in a basketball challenge.
For larger events, basketball can become one station within a wider company tournament.
Combine the score with racing, reaction and arcade challenges to find the overall company champion.
Arcade machines can remain available throughout the entire event.
Employees can attempt to beat the highest score whenever they want.
A simple leaderboard can transform casual arcade gaming into an ongoing company competition.
This works particularly well because guests don’t all need to participate at the same time.
Games work particularly well alongside a drinks reception.
Rather than employees standing around the same bar all evening, different entertainment areas give guests more reasons to move around the venue.
Your corporate social could combine:
This creates a much more interactive company event.
Pool provides more relaxed entertainment for employees who don’t necessarily want to participate in arcade competitions.
A Commercial Pool Table can create a social gaming area close to your bar or drinks area.
You can also turn it into a knockout company pool tournament.
Table Football Hire can provide another easy-to-understand multiplayer activity.
Employees can compete casually or represent different teams and departments.
For larger socials, several types of social and arcade games can operate simultaneously.
Music-based arcade games can help create a more party-focused atmosphere.
Guitar Hero Arcade can be incorporated alongside racing, arcade and social entertainment.
This can work particularly well for evening company parties where music and drinks are already a major part of the event.
Friday afternoon and evening socials are a great opportunity to bring games directly into the workplace.
Instead of employees immediately leaving the office, transform suitable breakout and social spaces into an entertainment area.
A Friday social could involve:
16:00 — Games Open
17:00 — Drinks & Food
18:00 — Company Competition
19:00 — Finals
19:30 — Winners Announced
Games can then remain available for the rest of the event.
Some businesses organise regular staff socials rather than one large annual event.
Interactive games can be used for:
Different entertainment can be used for different events throughout the year.
Games can also provide an informal activity at internal networking events.
This can be useful for larger organisations where employees from different departments, offices or regions don’t regularly interact.
Rather than expecting everyone to start conversations immediately, games provide a natural shared activity.
Hybrid teams may only have the full workforce together occasionally.
A corporate social can make more of those days.
Employees can attend meetings and presentations during the day before moving into an entertainment area for the evening.
Games provide a relaxed environment where colleagues who normally communicate online can spend time together in person.
Businesses with remote employees may bring staff into London for:
Adding games to the evening social can help turn the trip into a larger employee experience.
A smaller company social doesn’t require dozens of machines.
A compact package could combine:
Arcade Game + Racing or Reaction Challenge + Pool or Table Football
This gives employees several entertainment options without requiring a huge venue.
For hundreds of employees, entertainment capacity becomes much more important.
Create several different areas:
Retro and modern arcade machines.
Head-to-head racing.
Fast competitive challenges.
Basketball and sports entertainment.
Pool and table football.
Games designed for multiple guests.
This gives employees more choice and helps reduce queues.
