Hypnotic Afternoon

Cost: $$

Ideal Group Size: 50+

Time Required: 1-2 hours

This next activity is hypnotic. No, literally. A Hypnotist can turn a regular afternoon into a riot, and a normal group of business professionals into a nursery of babies, zoo of animals, or aliens. You’ll need a large group of spectators to get the number of volunteers you need for a good show and don’t forget to look for volunteers. Videos of a colleague doing the chicken dance could get a lot less funny if they were required to participate. Don’t know who to call? Our professional event planners know just the spell.

Gyroscope

Cost: $$

Ideal Group Size: 4-30

Time Required: 5 minutes+

Have a tall ceiling on your hands? You’re in luck. A Gyroscope can turn an otherwise dull afternoon into one a team will never forget. Our four-seat ride mimics the thrill of a theme park roller coaster with just 20’ x 20’ x 15’ of free space and two 240V outlets. 4 guests can ride at a time, but a few moments of fun is all most will need, making it a fabulous surprise activity for a medium-sized office.

Cash Cube

Cost: $$$

Ideal Group Size: Any (Entertaining for onlookers, too!)

Time Required: 10 minutes+

Do you have the fun task of rewarding some well-deserving colleagues with a bonus? You could put a plain paper check in a plain paper envelope, or you could get creative and reward them in style! The Cash Cube has been a fixture of game shows, grand openings, and giveaways for generations. But harnessing the joy of swirling cash or gift certificates for a workplace pick-me-up will turn any company bonus into company lore. Want to ensure your bonus earners get enough? Surprise them with a check for any remaining bonus they didn’t manage to catch in the time allotted.

Scavenger Hunt

Cost: $

Ideal Group Size: Any

Time Required: 1 hour

There’s something innate in all of us that longs to discover hidden treasure. Break your group into teams and send them on an indoor quest for “treasures” hidden away in your office. Prepare a list of items each needs to find–and secure–in order to finish the list. Perhaps it’s an unusual candy bar found only in one vending machine among 15 floors, a binder clip of a certain color, and an old coffee tin that just so happens to be filled with candy. The first team to return the completed list to the receptionist wins a fabulous prize.

Murder Mystery Party

Cost: $$

Ideal Group Size: 20-50

Time Required: 2-3 hours

Whodunnit? That’s the question at hand during the most intriguing meal your team has ever had. A professional Murder Mystery dinner uses real actors, well-crafted costumes, impressive props, and the mysterious element of sound to engage your audience. It’s the perfect ice breaker for a meal among colleagues who may otherwise have an uncomfortable time creating conversation.

Office Roller Coaster

Cost: $$

Ideal Group Size: 5-40

Time Required: 1-2 hours

Oh, the places you’ll go…with VR. Among them: the theme park! Our roller coaster VR experience takes what would otherwise require hundreds of feet and thousands of pounds of metal and packs it into the confines of a chair. Available for both the HTC Vive headsets and Oculus VR Motion Simulators, the NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulation Game is a rollicking good time that is a fabulous application of VR technology for first-timers.

Pit Crew Races

Cost: $$$

Ideal Group Size: 5-40

Time Required: 1-2 hours

Bring the thrill of NASCAR to your office with a Pit Stop Simulator. Perfect for a team building exercise or simply as a surprise bit of Friday fun, our simulators can be paired for dueling races, or enjoyed alone. Your team will be tasked with changing the tires on a mock car under the supervision of a National Event Pros staff member or company volunteer. An LED clock is included to keep tabs on the afternoon’s best crew member.

Theme Park Boardwalk

Cost: $$$$

Ideal Group Size: 50+

Time Required: 1-3 hours

Most of us have memories of theme parks from childhood. The roller coasters, the lines, and the concession stands likely dot our memories. But for a lot of us, another aspect of theme parks was just too expensive: the game-lined boardwalk. Oh, how we longed to win that giant stuffed animal! Now, you can bring the festivities of the theme park boardwalk to your company for an afternoon, evening, or weekend. Games like Ring Toss, High Striker, and Axe Throwing are brought to life with rental carnival booths and those memorable prizes.

Rock Climbing

Cost: $$$$

Ideal Group Size: 8-100 guests per hour

Time Required: 1-3 hours

For those who work in offices with generously sized atriums or other spacious spaces, there’s one activity that should be on your short list. Climbing walls deliver multiple features in one: entertainment for onlookers, the thrill for the adventurous, and fear-conquering for the brave. We regularly create custom rock climbing installations for clients of all sizes, sourcing from our catalog of multi-station 24-foot and 32-foot walls. Some have as many as five separate climbing stations to keep crowds moving and lines short.

Silent Disco

Cost: $$$

Ideal Group Size: Any

Time Required: 1 hour

If you saw it on Instagram, you wouldn’t know anything was out of the ordinary. A dance floor, packed with dancers, busting their moves. But one unusual addition might tip you off: headphones. Aha, this is a silent disco. A Silent Disco Party enlists the typical services of a DJ, dance floor, and lighting equipment, but leaves something out: speakers. Instead of blasting the tunes for all to hear, each participant is given a headset. Anyone entering the room without a set will experience something quite unusual for a dance party: silence.
