Throwing a corporate event but want it to elevate the monotonous vibe to fun and exciting? Adding in games can be a great way to give your event a quick refresh. Games make people feel more at ease, inspire some fun competition, and are a great source of entertainment. Whether you are looking to upgrade your boring reception, or give your coworkers an activity to bond over, these fun games are a sure-fire way to make it happen. Bonus - a lot of these games are located in venues, so you can check to find a location off your list also!
Check out these venues offering in-house game entertainment:
Arcade Games
Having arcade games at your corporate event is sure to bring some nostalgia to your attendees. It will give everyone a chance to show off how they spent most of their teenage years. But what is better than playing arcade games? Enter Barcade - a venue whose specialty is arcade games AND craft beer. Hosting your next corporate event at one of these locations will for sure be a good time. Check it out on EventUp.
Bocce Ball
Everyone loves a lawn game - bocce ball is a lowkey steaks game that will give your corporate attendees something to do with their hands while they network. It’s not just an outdoor game either - in Denver, you can host your attendees at Rhein Haus and rent indoor bocce ball courts in a german beer hall setting. Check it out on EventUp.
Bowling
DUH. Bowling is a great way to engage your corporate guests, especially if they are your coworkers. You can pin (no pun intended) everyone against each other, or do teams! Very little skill is involved, and it always ends up being a lot of fun. Pinz is a great place to host your private event and get your group together for some fun. Check it out on EventUp.
Ping Pong
We wrote a feature blog post on a Ping Pong social club - and we stand by it. If you’ve never thought about ping pong as an activity for your corporate group, it’s time to reconsider. Ping pong is a great ice breaker and encourages interaction and engagement from your attendees. Hosting your next corporate event at SPiN will be sure to pique the interest of your attendees. Check it out on EventUp.
Top Golf
Golf can be another great game to include at your next event. But instead of playing a full 18 holes, why not just settle for the driving range? TopGolf makes socializing a sport, and it is perfect for all skill levels. Check it out on EventUp.
Minute to Win It
If none of those games interest you for your next corporate event, or if your plan is to host it in the office and you’re looking for something a little easier, try a Minute To Win It competition! You can either set up a bunch of games yourself (here’s a website with some ideas) or hire a company to come in and run the competition for you! Most of the competitions are simple but challenging, and are timed - it will get everyone’s competitive juices flowing in no time.
