Indoor Game Hire for Corporate Events Across the UK
Planning an event in the UK means one thing's almost certain: the weather won't always cooperate. That's where indoor games come in. Whether you're organising a conference, office celebration, or exhibition stand, our indoor entertainment options give you confidence that your event will succeed regardless of what's happening outside. With over 15 years as corporate event specialists, we provide professional-grade games and interactive entertainment with nationwide delivery from our Coventry base.
Why Choose Indoor Games for Your Event
The main benefit of indoor games is straightforward; your event isn't dependent on sunshine. But there's more to it than just weather protection. Indoor venues like hotels, conference centres and office spaces give you control over the environment. You can manage sound levels, lighting and guest comfort more easily than outdoor settings.
For corporate events, indoor games suit the professional setting whilst still creating that sense of fun and engagement you're after. Many of our indoor options have compact footprints too, which matters when you're working with limited floor space at an exhibition stand or in a meeting room. Year-round availability is another consideration since autumn and winter events particularly benefit from weather-proof entertainment.
It's worth considering that indoor games work well when you need guests to move between activities without worrying about wet grass, wind, or temperature changes. The controlled environment means people can participate comfortably throughout your event.
Our Range of Indoor Entertainment Options
We provide different types of indoor games to suit various event goals and audiences.
Interactive reaction games
Games like Batak Lite and Batak Pro work well when you want to create competitions with leaderboards; they're quick to play and naturally draw crowds at exhibitions.
Racing simulators
Our range of racing car simulators create high visual impact, particularly effective for brand activations and trade show stands where you need to attract attention.
Arcade and retro games
Retro arcade games have a nostalgic appeal across age groups and provide familiar entertainment that everyone can enjoy.
Table games
Games like table football and air hockey encourage social interaction, making them perfect for networking events where you want people mingling rather than standing in formal groups.
Giant games
These types of games offer visual impact without requiring electronic setup. Oversized Connect 4, Jenga and similar options are easy for anyone to join. For evening entertainment at corporate dinners or awards ceremonies,
Casino games
Games like casino tables provide a more sophisticated atmosphere whilst keeping the interactive element.
The right mix depends on your specific event, and we help you think through what will work best for your audience and objectives.
Matching Indoor Games to Your Event Type
Different events call for different approaches.
Conferences and exhibitions
These events often have space constraints, so we focus on games with smaller footprints that can handle high footfall. Quick-play options work better than longer experiences when hundreds of people are passing through. Branding opportunities matter here too; many of our games can be customised to reinforce your message or campaign.
Team building days
Always consider a mix of competitive and collaborative games. People have different comfort levels with physical activities, so including options that suit various abilities ensures everyone can participate. Reaction games and simulators tend to bring out friendly rivalry, which can help break down barriers between colleagues.
Office parties and celebrations
These events need games that get people mingling, especially when some team members don't know each other well. Social games that don't require intense concentration let people chat whilst playing. Think about offering both active options and more relaxed entertainment – not everyone wants to be "on" all evening.
Wedding receptions
These benefit from games that suit all ages if you've got families attending. Entertainment during natural lulls (between courses, whilst photos are being taken) keeps guests engaged. Photo opportunities are particularly valued at weddings as people want to take memories home. Photo booths are a perfect addition to events like weddings to add some fun to photos.
Important Planning Considerations
Early planning helps avoid last-minute complications.
Your space requirements
This will vary by game type, though most arcade games and table games need roughly 2-3 metres of clear floor space, but some items like simulators need more room. Ceiling height matters for certain games, and you'll need to think about access for delivery (lifts, doorways, stairs).
Power needs at your venue
This is usually straightforward for most venues, since electronic games require a standard plug socket. We can advise on how many sockets you'll need based on your game selection. It's worth discussing this early, particularly for venues that might have limited power points in the areas you're using.
The number of games you have
This depends on your guest numbers and event duration. As a rough guide, one game per 20-30 guests works for a 2-hour event, but we help you plan the right mix based on your specific situation. Setup timing needs coordinating with your other suppliers. If you give us the full picture of what's happening when, we'll work around your schedule.
We work with venues of all types and can usually find suitable options regardless of space limitations. The key is having the conversation early so we can assess what will work in your specific venue.
Our Professional Indoor Game Hire Service
We deliver across the UK from our Coventry base, with all games regularly maintained and safety tested. Our service includes delivery, professional setup, operation where needed, and collection, so you won't be left figuring things out yourself. We carry full public liability insurance and provide risk assessments for venues that require them.
For corporate events, branding is available on most of our games. Contact us to discuss lead times with our team, as some customisation needs advance notice. We've worked with major companies, including Rolls-Royce and KPMG, supporting events from small office gatherings to large-scale conferences.
Our approach is consultative rather than just taking orders. We ask questions about your venue, audience and objectives so we can recommend games that will actually achieve what you're hoping for.
