Team building entertainment

Virtual Reality Team Building

The VR stands for virtual reality, which is similar to augmented reality, but a lot more immersive. Anyone who is involved in the experience must wear a headset in order to take part, which instantly transports you to another building or world, where you have to work together in order to get ahead. Imagine being teleported inside a video game and that is a perfect way to explain the entertainment you’ll get from a virtual reality team building experience. The technology has already been hailed by Facebook and HTC (to name but two) and there have even been events specially created where you get to defeat zombies as a team. What fun!

Cycling Competition

This is a fab form of interactive entertainment that allows two guests at your event to compete and see who gets the best time. Wonderful for events or parties where you have a few prizes to give away and the best bit is that there are no bikes endlessly coursing in and around your event. These two pedal powered beasts are attached to a small plinth to take up a minimum of space at your venue. Just plug in and go!

Augmented Reality Treasure Hunt

AR or augmented reality (to give it its full name) is all the rage in the past few weeks thanks to the launch of Pokémon Go. It’s a simple enough technology that even the most technophobic of guests will be able to understand. The virtual reality game makes use of your GPS and camera on your phone to create fun photos and make it appear as though you are not alone in the room. It’s not just Pokémon or solving clues that the technology is limited to either. As the photo shows, you could hold an entire band in your hand!

Interactive Dance mat.

Dancing is great fun but there are always a few guests at an event who don’t really fancy getting involved as everybody else does the Macarena. The solution? Some interactive tiles of course! Perfect for an enhanced dance mat experience or put in place as a competitive game, interactive dance tiles can be used to ensure that getting fit is a bonus at your party. The more feet the merrier (perhaps the more steps, the bigger the prize?); this is an event installation you won’t want to miss. And yes, you can totally recreate that scene from the Billie Jean music video.

Does your team fancy a stunt day?

So, you’ve smashed your boss over the head with a bottle and shot him, only for him to get up, laugh, and shake your hand. You’re not dreaming, you’re in stunt training. You’ve watched bar room brawls, shootings and spectacular stunts in films and been dazzled by their realism. Now you will be trained by the men responsible for those stunts at the legendary Pinewood Studios, where the James Bond films and countless other blockbusters are filmed.

Yes, you could hire Stuntmen instructors and props to really make this a unique a fun day for all. After a full safety briefing and a warm up, the instructors will give a full demonstration of the stunts before training you to recreate them. Just like on a real film set, safety is paramount, and all of the stunts take place in controlled environments with the instructors supervising. You’ll be taught how to shoot blanks from pistols and revolvers, and how to fall realistically after being shot. There’s no need to worry about bruises though as your fall will be broken by safety mats.

You will also be taught how to smash a bottle over someone’s head without leaving so much as a scratch on them. This brilliant training day will live long in the memory and give you a fascinating insight into the film industry.

A brilliant day, and definitely unique, we are sure your staff will be talking about this in months to come.

Don’t forget to take your DVD home of all your stunts that you have done for the day!!
