Work Christmas Party Games
Work Christmas Party Games & Entertainment
Looking for work Christmas party games that employees will actually want to get involved with?
Interactive games can completely change the atmosphere of a staff Christmas party. Instead of relying entirely on food, drinks and music, arcade machines and competitive challenges give colleagues something entertaining to do together throughout the event.
Race your manager on Mario Kart, find out which department can achieve the highest basketball score, challenge colleagues on air hockey or discover who really has the fastest reactions on Batak.
We provide work Christmas party games for offices, hotels, corporate venues and Christmas events throughout the UK.
Whether you're planning a small staff celebration or a huge end-of-year company party, we can create an entertainment package around your venue and number of guests.
Arcade Games for Work Christmas Parties
Create a temporary arcade for your staff Christmas party with a mixture of classic and modern games.
Our entertainment includes:
Hire a couple of games for a smaller work party or combine multiple machines to create a complete staff arcade.
1. Mario Kart Staff Championship
One of the easiest ways to create instant competition is with our Mario Kart Arcade Machines.
Put colleagues head-to-head and see who can claim the title of company Mario Kart champion.
You can keep things casual or organise qualifying races between departments before bringing the winners together for a final.
Mario Kart is particularly effective at work Christmas parties because guests don't need lengthy instructions before getting involved.
2. Batak Reaction Competition
Test your colleagues' reactions with our Batak Reaction Games.
Give everyone an attempt and record their scores on a company leaderboard.
As the evening continues, employees can return to try to improve their score and move further up the rankings.
At the end of the Christmas party, announce the employee with the quickest reactions.
3. Christmas Basketball Challenge
Our Basketball Games are perfect for work Christmas parties where you want quick head-to-head challenges.
Colleagues can compete against each other or attempt to set the highest individual score.
Basketball games also naturally attract spectators, creating a lively entertainment area as employees watch their teammates compete.
4. Air Hockey Tournament
Create a complete staff tournament with our Air Hockey.
Start with pairs of employees and let each winner progress to the next round.
Continue until only two colleagues remain for the Christmas final.
Alternatively, leave the table available throughout the event for casual challenges.
5. Retro Arcade High-Score Competition
Bring some classic gaming into your work Christmas party with our Retro Arcade Games.
Retro games are brilliant for workplace events because they can appeal to employees across different generations.
Set a high score at the beginning of the event and see whether anyone can beat it before the party finishes.
6. Guitar Hero Battle
Add something completely different with Guitar Hero.
Challenge colleagues to head-to-head battles or simply let employees enjoy playing throughout the evening.
Guitar Hero works particularly well when mixed with retro arcade machines, giving your party a dedicated gaming and music area.
7. Boxing Machine High-Score Challenge
Find out who can achieve the highest score with our Boxing Machines.
Boxing machines create plenty of friendly competition and can quickly become a spectator attraction at larger work parties.
Keep a leaderboard running throughout the evening and announce the winner before the event finishes.
8. Christmas Skee Ball Challenge
Skee Ball is ideal for a relaxed but competitive staff challenge.
Employees roll balls towards different scoring targets and try to achieve the highest total.
It's simple, quick and can be played repeatedly throughout the party.
Combine Skee Ball with basketball and Batak to create a complete high-score zone.
9. Work Christmas Pool Tournament
Create a more relaxed area with our Pool Tables.
Pool is ideal for colleagues who want to play something while talking and socialising.
You can organise a formal knockout competition or simply leave the tables available for casual games throughout the evening.
10. Christmas Prize Games
Add a prize-based attraction with our Prize Crane Machines.
Prize attractions can add another element to staff reward events and end-of-year celebrations.
Position them within a larger games area alongside arcade machines and competitive attractions.
Department vs Department Christmas Games
Turn your work Christmas party into a company-wide competition.
Divide employees into departments or teams and award points for different games.
For example:
Mario Kart – points for race winners.
Batak – points for the highest reaction scores.
Basketball – points for the top scores.
Air Hockey – points for tournament results.
Skee Ball – points for the highest totals.
At the end of the event, combine the scores and announce the winning department.
This is a simple way to add a team-building element without making the party feel like a formal team-building day.
Manager vs Employees Challenges
Christmas parties are also a great opportunity to introduce some friendly competition between employees and management.
Set up head-to-head challenges on Mario Kart, basketball, Batak or air hockey and let employees attempt to beat their managers.
For larger companies, senior managers can represent different teams or departments.
These simple competitions can create some of the most entertaining moments of the evening.
Create a Work Christmas Games Room
Transform an unused meeting room, office area or section of your party venue into a complete games room.
A smaller games room could include:
Mario Kart + Batak + Basketball + Air Hockey
A larger games room could include:
Mario Kart + Retro Arcade Games + Batak + Basketball + Air Hockey + Guitar Hero + Skee Ball + Boxing Machines + Pool Tables
Employees can move between attractions throughout the party rather than waiting for one scheduled entertainment activity.
Work Christmas Party Games for Small Teams
Smaller businesses don't need huge amounts of equipment to create a great party.
Choose three or four attractions that provide different styles of entertainment.
A strong combination could be:
Mario Kart + Air Hockey + Batak + Retro Arcade
This gives your team racing, head-to-head competition, a reaction challenge and relaxed arcade gaming.
Work Christmas Party Games for Large Companies
For larger organisations, create several different entertainment areas.
Racing Area
Mario Kart and racing arcade games.
Challenge Area
Batak, basketball and boxing machines.
Arcade Area
Retro arcade games, Guitar Hero and Skee Ball.
Social Games Area
Pool tables and air hockey.
Spreading entertainment around the venue helps prevent everyone gathering around one attraction and gives employees more to explore.
Christmas Games for Staff Reward Events
Interactive games aren't limited to evening Christmas parties.
Businesses can also use them for staff reward days and end-of-year celebrations held during normal working hours.
Bring arcade machines directly into the workplace and allow employees to enjoy them during breaks or as part of a dedicated Christmas celebration.
This can be particularly useful for companies where not every employee can attend an evening party.
Christmas Games at Your Office
You don't necessarily need an external venue.
We can bring the entertainment directly into suitable offices and workplaces.
Meeting rooms, breakout spaces, reception areas and staff canteens can potentially be transformed into temporary entertainment areas.
Bring in the arcade games, add Christmas decorations and create an event without employees needing to travel to another venue.
Christmas Games for Hotels & Party Venues
If you've booked an external venue, interactive games can be incorporated into the wider Christmas party setup.
Arcade machines can be positioned around drinks reception areas, bars and breakout spaces.
Competitive games can create dedicated entertainment zones while pool tables and retro games provide more relaxed activities.
For large events, multiple gaming areas can be positioned throughout the venue.
Add Christmas Props to Your Work Party
Make the entertainment area feel properly festive with our Christmas prop collection.
Available props include:
Position giant nutcrackers around the entrance, Christmas trees around the games and Santa's sleigh within a dedicated photo area.
Turn Your Work Christmas Party Into a Winter Wonderland
Combine your games with Winter Wonderland Props to transform the entire event.
Guests could enter through a Christmas display featuring giant nutcrackers and trees before reaching a complete arcade filled with games.
Create a separate photo area using Santa's sleigh, giant reindeer and a Christmas Backdrop.
Where suitable for your venue, a Snow Machine can add another festive feature.
