Freshers Entertainment Hire & Games for University Events

Our indoor Freshers games hire range gives students quick, easy ways to get involved. Competitive games work particularly well as ice-breakers, helping new students interact without needing organised teams or lengthy instructions.

• Arcade Games: Retro and modern arcade attractions for relaxed drop-in play.
• Reaction Games: Fast-paced electronic challenges testing speed and coordination.
• Table Games: Air hockey, football tables and other head-to-head favourites.
• Interactive Games: Competitive challenges designed for quick rotations and repeat play.
• Virtual Pinball: Modern digital pinball with classic arcade appeal.
• Sports Games: Skill challenges that can be used for informal competitions and tournaments.

If you have outdoor space available, our larger attractions can turn a university Freshers event into a complete activity zone. Mix competitive inflatables, sports challenges and high-energy games to give students plenty to explore throughout the event.

• Gladiator Duel: A classic head-to-head inflatable challenge.
• Bungee Run: Competitive racing with plenty of spectator appeal.
• Fairground Side Stalls: Traditional challenges that work well with prizes and giveaways.
• Mega Slides: Large attractions that create an immediate visual impact.
• Human Whack A Mole: Fast-paced multiplayer inflatable entertainment.
• Inflatable Assault Courses: Ideal for races, challenges and larger university activity areas.

Freshers fairs are also a great opportunity for brands, societies and university partners to engage directly with students. Interactive games provide a simple reason for people to stop at a stand, take part in a challenge and start a conversation.

Selected games can be incorporated into competitions, giveaways and promotional activations, with branding options available on suitable products.

Starting university means meeting a huge number of new people in a very short space of time. Interactive entertainment gives students something immediate to do together and can help create a relaxed, social atmosphere.

• Easy ice-breakers: Students can compete or play together without already knowing each other.
• Drop-in entertainment: Many games can be played quickly as students move around a Freshers fair or event.
• Friendly competition: Scores and head-to-head challenges encourage repeat play.
• Indoor and outdoor options: Build an entertainment package around the venue and available space.
• Flexible packages: Combine different styles of games to create a varied Freshers activity area.
