Why Interactive Entertainment Works at Corporate Christmas Parties

A successful Christmas party should bring people together. But not everyone wants to spend the entire evening on the dance floor, and traditional entertainment doesn't always encourage guests to interact.

That's why interactive games have become such a popular choice for corporate celebrations.

• Break the ice: Give colleagues from different departments an easy way to start conversations.
• Encourage friendly competition: Create individual challenges and team competitions.
• Entertain different personalities: Offer something for guests who prefer activities over dancing.
• Keep the atmosphere lively: Let guests move between games throughout the event.
• Create memorable moments: Give everyone something to talk about long after the party finishes.

The best corporate Christmas parties offer a variety of experiences, allowing guests to participate whenever they choose.

1. Christmas Strike A Light – The Ultimate Festive Reaction Challenge

If you want competitive Christmas entertainment that gets guests involved, our Christmas Strike A Light is a fantastic choice.

Featuring a festive Snowball Battle theme, this fast-paced interactive game challenges players to react quickly and hit illuminated targets to score points.

It's simple to understand, quick to play and perfect for creating a little friendly rivalry between colleagues.

• Fast-paced interactive gameplay
• Ideal for head-to-head competitions
• Festive Snowball Battle styling
• Perfect for indoor corporate venues
• Suitable for staff parties and Christmas events

Why not organise a Christmas office championship and see which department has the fastest reactions?

2. Christmas Buzzwire – A Steady-Hand Challenge

Think you've got steady hands? Our Christmas Buzzwire Challenge might make you think again!

This classic game challenges players to guide a metal loop around a twisting wire without making contact.

It sounds easy until the pressure is on and your colleagues are watching every move.

Our festive-themed Buzzwire adds a Christmas twist to this popular interactive challenge, making it ideal for office parties, corporate celebrations and festive exhibitions.

3. Rodeo Reindeer & Christmas Pudding – Festive Fun with a Twist

Looking for a Christmas attraction that will have the entire office laughing?

Our Rodeo Reindeer and Rodeo Christmas Pudding are two of our most entertaining festive attractions.

Inspired by the traditional mechanical rodeo bull, these Christmas-themed rides challenge participants to stay on for as long as possible while the ride twists, turns and bucks.

They're particularly popular at staff Christmas parties, where colleagues can compete to see who can achieve the longest ride.

• Fantastic centrepiece for Christmas celebrations
• Professional operator included
• Ideal for individual competitions
• Great entertainment for participants and spectators
• Suitable for corporate events and festive fun days

Our festive rodeo attractions are available from £499 for two hours, including an operator.

For larger celebrations, additional operating hours can be arranged, subject to availability.

4. Christmas Cornhole & Snowball Splat – Friendly Festive Competition

Not every Christmas activity needs to be complicated. Sometimes the most enjoyable games are the ones that anyone can pick up and play.

Our Christmas Cornhole and Snowball Splat games are excellent choices for relaxed corporate celebrations and informal staff get-togethers.

Christmas Cornhole – Snowball Toss

A festive version of the popular throwing game, Christmas Cornhole challenges players to test their accuracy and score points by landing their throws on the target.

It's a great addition to a games area where guests can enjoy casual competition while socialising.

Snowball Splat

Snowball Splat adds a fast-paced interactive challenge to your Christmas entertainment lineup, giving guests another fun activity to try.

Both games work brilliantly alongside larger attractions, helping you create a varied entertainment experience.

5. Arcade Machines & Classic Games – Something for Everyone

Christmas entertainment doesn't have to be entirely festive-themed.

Combining Christmas attractions with classic arcade and table games is a fantastic way to appeal to different guests and create a complete entertainment area.

Our indoor entertainment hire collection includes a wide variety of games for corporate events.

• Air Hockey: Fast-paced matches and competitive fun.
• Table Football: Perfect for friendly tournaments between colleagues.
• Arcade Machines: Retro gaming entertainment with nostalgic appeal.
• Skee Ball: An arcade favourite that challenges players to achieve the highest score.
• Shuffleboard: A relaxed but competitive game for social events.
• Virtual Pinball: Classic arcade entertainment with a modern twist.

These games are particularly suited to hotels, conference suites, function rooms and other indoor corporate venues.

They're also ideal for guests who prefer to socialise around games rather than spend the whole evening dancing.

6. Create a Complete Christmas Games Zone

If you're organising a larger company Christmas party, hiring several attractions together can create a much more engaging experience.

Rather than having one game with a queue of people waiting, a dedicated entertainment zone gives guests the freedom to move between different activities.

You could combine:

• Christmas Strike A Light for fast-paced competition
• Christmas Buzzwire for a steady-hand challenge
• Christmas Cornhole for relaxed games
• Rodeo Reindeer for a standout attraction
• Arcade machines for retro gaming
• Shuffleboard or table football for social competition

We can help you select games that suit your venue, guest numbers, event schedule and budget.

7. How to Plan the Perfect Corporate Christmas Games Area

Choosing great entertainment is only part of planning a successful Christmas party. A few practical considerations can help everything run smoothly on the day.

Consider Your Guest Numbers

For larger events, having several games operating simultaneously gives more guests an opportunity to participate without lengthy queues.

Think About Your Venue

Consider the available floor space, access routes, ceiling height and electrical supply. Many of our indoor games use standard 13A power sockets, but requirements vary between attractions.

Mix Different Types of Entertainment

Combining competitive interactive games with relaxed arcade attractions gives guests more choice and helps create a welcoming atmosphere.

Introduce Friendly Competitions

Simple tournaments, team challenges and leaderboards can turn individual games into entertainment that lasts throughout your event.

Plan Your Event Timings

Think about when guests arrive, when food will be served and whether entertainment will run throughout the evening or during a dedicated activity session.

Our team can discuss setup, delivery, collection and staffing requirements to help you plan a suitable arrangement.
