Boutique Party Hire provides arcade machines, racing games, reaction challenges, sports games and interactive entertainment for businesses planning office team-building events, workplace competitions and staff socials throughout London.
Instead of taking your entire workforce to a dedicated activity centre, subject to suitable access and space, you can bring the entertainment directly into your workplace.
Turn breakout areas, event floors and office social spaces into an interactive gaming environment where employees can compete, socialise and represent their teams or departments.

Modern London offices can provide excellent spaces for internal employee events.
Depending on your building, games can be installed in:
The entertainment can be adapted around the size and layout of your workplace.
Interactive games give employees something immediate to participate in.
Your office event could feature:
Games can operate casually or form part of a structured office tournament.
Create an arcade without employees having to leave the building.
Multiple machines can be positioned around your workplace to create a temporary entertainment area.
For example, Mario Kart DX Twin can create head-to-head racing competition, while World’s Largest Pac-Man can provide a retro high-score challenge.
Reaction, basketball and social games can then be added to create a much larger office arcade.
Turn the event into a complete company tournament.
Divide employees into teams before rotating them around several gaming stations.
Employees compete for the fastest result.
Use Batak Lite to test reaction speed.
Create a company basketball competition.
Record employees’ highest arcade scores.
Run pool or table football tournaments.
Points can be awarded at every station.
At the end of the event, the highest-scoring team becomes the office champion.
Department competitions can create friendly rivalry between colleagues.
Possible teams include:
You could create:
Sales vs Marketing
Finance vs HR
Product vs Engineering
Operations vs Technology
Management vs Employees
For larger businesses, each department can collect points across several different challenges.
Reaction games are particularly suitable for office competitions because attempts can be completed quickly.
Create a reaction area featuring:
Employees can complete each challenge during the event.
Their scores can then contribute towards an individual or department leaderboard.
Create an office racing championship.
Employees can compete in qualifying rounds throughout the event before the fastest drivers progress to the finals.
A tournament could involve:
Qualifying
Quarter-Finals
Semi-Finals
Grand Final
For larger companies, each department could nominate its fastest racer.
Sports-style arcade games add another type of competition.
Employees can compete for the highest basketball score, either individually or as part of their department.
This can be combined with racing and reaction challenges to create a multi-game tournament.
Not every competition requires employees to play simultaneously.
An arcade machine can remain available throughout the afternoon while employees attempt to reach the top of the leaderboard.
Set a cut-off time and record the highest score.
This format works particularly well alongside other activities because employees can participate whenever they have time.
Team building doesn’t always have to be intensely competitive.
Social games give employees an activity while still allowing them to talk.
Options include:
These can be positioned near office bars, food areas and breakout spaces.
You don’t need to lose an entire working day to organise team building.
A Friday afternoon event could look like:
14:00 — Games Installed
15:00 — Team Competition Begins
16:30 — Finals
17:00 — Winners Announced
17:15 — Friday Drinks
This can turn the end of the working week into a larger employee event.
Games can continue into an evening staff social.
Combine:
Employees can move freely between the different areas.
This creates a less structured alternative to traditional team-building activities.
If you’re already bringing employees together for a company meeting, you can add entertainment afterwards.
A typical schedule might involve:
Morning — Company Presentations
Lunch — Food & Networking
Afternoon — Team Meetings
Late Afternoon — Team Building Games
Evening — Drinks & Social
This can make better use of a day when employees are already together.
Hybrid employees may not regularly spend time together in person.
A company-wide office day can therefore be a good opportunity to add team-building entertainment.
Once meetings and presentations are complete, games can provide a more informal activity where colleagues can interact.
This can be particularly useful for teams that normally communicate remotely.
Businesses with predominantly remote workforces may bring employees into London several times each year.
Interactive games can form part of these company meet-ups.
Games can follow:
Employees then have time to socialise before travelling home.
Games can help create an informal environment for employees who haven’t met before.
Suitable occasions include:
Instead of relying entirely on structured networking, employees have activities they can participate in together.
Sales departments can turn office team building into a highly competitive event.
Create a tournament involving:
Scores can be combined into an overall leaderboard.
