Ten Christmas party games from the 600-odd products in our Rotherham warehouse, each with how it plays and what it costs. Every price below is a from-price excluding VAT, and every game is delivered, set up and collected by our own team.
Four players pump reindeer-headed poles to race along a tabletop track. From £499, which includes a trained operator for up to three hours. It is table-height and indoor only.
2. Bounce a Ball Reindeer Racing
The fairground donkey derby rebuilt as a reindeer race - bounce balls up the sloped lane into scoring holes and each hit moves your reindeer along. Balls roll straight back to the players, so the race never stops for a ball fetch.
3. Rodeo Reindeer
Our most popular Christmas hire. The operator winds the speed up gradually and a digital timer logs each ride, so the office ends up with a leaderboard by the end of the night. It needs roughly 18ft by 18ft of floor and fits through a standard double door.
A full-length mirror in an ornate gold frame that prompts guests through animated poses and prints their photo about ten seconds later. It handles up to 40 sessions an hour, and one of our own staff runs it all evening.
5. Two-player dance machine
Hard dance pads, one shared screen, four dance games and separate difficulty settings so a beginner and a self-confessed expert can dance the same song. It has a built-in PA and LED arcade lights, so it reads as a feature from across the room.
6. The Vault
You get 30 seconds to stop a speeding white light inside a shrinking red target zone, five unlock rounds in a run. Children and adults both play it, which is why it keeps turning up at family-inclusive works parties.
The claw machine, filled with your own vouchers or merch, with the win rate set to suit - prize-every-time for giveaways, or something tighter for a proper competition. The panels can be branded to match your event.
8. Batak Pro
Twelve LED targets light at random; you hit as many as you can while the twin displays score you. It is the same reaction machine F1 teams use for driver training, which usually settles the department argument inside one round.
A two-player cocktail cabinet running a 60-in-1 board - Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Frogger and the rest, free play with no coins. Two people sit opposite each other, which makes it the calmest corner of a loud night.
10. Shuffleboard
A 9ft tabletop deck with weighted pucks and numbered scoring zones, from £495. It is quiet enough to sit near the bar without drowning conversation out, which the DJ will appreciate around nine o'clock.
Every hire carries £5m of public liability cover, the risk assessment lands before the event rather than on the day, and on Google the reviews run at five stars across 209 of them. Becci hired the Saloon Shoot Out for a Christmas party and left five stars on Trustpilot: "Was a great addition to our event and really brought out everyone's competitive sides!"
All ten are on the Christmas party hire list, and there is plenty more on the Christmas category page if none of these fit the room. Send the headcount and the floor space and we'll come back with a shortlist - 0114 345 0135 gets the office first.
