Boutique Party Hire provides a huge selection of arcade machines, interactive games, racing games, reaction challenges and social entertainment for staff parties across London.
Whether you’re rewarding employees after a successful year, celebrating a company milestone or simply bringing everyone together for a social event, games can create an interactive experience that employees can enjoy throughout the party.
Entertainment can be provided for:
From a few games for a smaller team to a complete temporary arcade for a large company event, the entertainment can be built around your guest numbers, London venue and available space.
Arcade machines are ideal for staff parties because employees can play throughout the event without needing to follow a fixed schedule.
Some guests might want competitive racing and reaction challenges, while others may prefer retro arcade or social games.
A staff party can combine:
This creates several different entertainment options within the same event.
For larger events, create a dedicated temporary arcade.
Different games can be grouped together to create an entertainment area employees can visit throughout the party.
You could create:
Head-to-head racing competitions.
Classic arcade entertainment and high-score challenges.
Fast competitive reaction games.
Basketball and other sports-based challenges.
Pool, table football and multiplayer entertainment.
This format can work particularly well when you have a large number of employees attending.
Company parties don’t have to revolve entirely around food, drinks and music.
Games give employees another way to interact.
They can also help mix people from different departments who may not normally work together.
Suitable occasions include:
Entertainment can operate throughout the event rather than taking over the entire schedule.
Hit a major target?
Won an important contract?
Finished a huge project?
Interactive entertainment can be used as part of an employee reward event.
Companies can organise staff parties following:
A games event can provide a relaxed way for employees to celebrate together.
Staff appreciation events are another opportunity to create something different for employees.
Rather than organising a formal activity, games allow employees to move around the venue and participate whenever they choose.
A staff appreciation event could combine:
Arcade Entertainment + Competitive Challenges + Social Games + Food + Drinks + Music
For larger companies, multiple gaming areas can be created.
Turn your staff party into a company competition.
Employees can compete across several different challenges during the event.
Possible competitions include:
Scores can be recorded throughout the party.
At the end of the event, prizes can be awarded to the highest-scoring employees.
Add another level of competition by dividing employees into departments.
For example:
Sales vs Marketing
HR vs Finance
Operations vs Management
Design vs Development
Product vs Engineering
London vs Regional Offices
Each department can earn points across several games.
The department with the highest combined score becomes the company champion.
This works particularly well for larger organisations where employees from different areas of the business are attending the same party.
Not every staff event needs to be highly competitive.
Games can simply provide entertainment while employees socialise.
Social gaming areas can include:
Employees can play while continuing to talk, drink and move around the event.
This makes games particularly suitable for informal staff socials.
Turn Friday drinks into something more substantial.
Games can be installed in suitable offices or external venues to create an informal company social.
This can work well for:
Businesses can create anything from a small games corner to a much larger arcade setup.
Christmas is one of the biggest periods for staff parties in London.
Arcade and interactive games can form part of a much larger Christmas entertainment package.
Games can operate alongside:
For larger parties, several gaming areas can be spread throughout the venue.
Create a temporary arcade at your company Christmas party.
A dedicated gaming area can give employees somewhere to compete and socialise away from the main dance floor or bar.
You can combine:
Racing + Retro Arcade + Reaction Games + Sports Challenges + Social Games
For large corporate Christmas parties, multiple machines can increase the number of guests able to participate simultaneously.
Summer staff events are another strong opportunity for interactive entertainment.
Games can form part of:
Depending on the venue, games can be combined with outdoor entertainment, food and drinks.
Instead of adding games to another event, make the games themselves the main attraction.
A staff games night can involve several competitions running simultaneously.
For example:
Employees compete for the fastest or highest racing result.
Find the quickest reactions in the company.
Run high-score competitions.
Employees compete on basketball and other sports games.
Run pool or table football competitions.
An overall winner can then be announced at the end of the evening.
Large staff parties need enough entertainment capacity for the number of guests attending.
For several hundred employees, we would recommend using multiple games rather than relying on one or two attractions.
Different entertainment zones can help distribute guests throughout the venue.
For example:
Zone 1 — Arcade
Zone 2 — Racing
Zone 3 — Reaction
Zone 4 — Sports
Zone 5 — Social Games
This creates a larger entertainment experience and gives employees more choice.
Smaller businesses don’t need a huge arcade setup.
A carefully selected group of games can provide plenty of entertainment for a smaller team.
A simple setup might combine:
Arcade Game + Reaction Challenge + Social Game
This provides three different types of entertainment without overwhelming the venue.
You don’t necessarily need to hire an external venue.
Subject to suitable access and space, entertainment can be brought directly into your London workplace.
Games can be positioned in:
Once the working day finishes, the office can become the party venue.
Technology businesses often have modern offices with large breakout and social areas that can work particularly well for interactive entertainment.
Games can be used for:
Arcade entertainment can be particularly well suited to informal technology-company events.
London’s financial districts contain thousands of businesses organising staff socials and company events.
Games can provide a less formal entertainment option for:
Events can take place inside suitable offices or at external London venues.
Marketing, advertising, creative, PR and media agencies can use arcade and interactive games for informal staff celebrations.
Games can form part of:
Competitive entertainment can add another dimension to the usual office drinks format.
