A photo booth is a safe choice. The thing is, guests have already seen one at plenty of weddings and company parties. They take one photo, grab the print and go back to their table. If you want people to stay at an attraction longer, talk and remember the evening, it's worth reaching for something else.
Why look for something more than a photo booth
Guests quickly get used to standard attractions. What once drew a queue is now just background. If your event is to stand out, the attraction should give guests something to do, not just something to look at. People remember what they experienced, not what they walked past on the way to the bar.
Five attractions that draw guests in
We supply ready-made attractions and build themed zones from scratch. Here are five suggestions worth reaching for instead of yet another photo booth.
1. VR and AR zones with game elements
The guest puts on a VR (virtual reality) headset or uses AR (augmented reality) and stops being a spectator. There are sports simulators, virtual tours and team games to choose from.
What you gain as the organiser
A modern image and guests who actually play, not just watch. The zone can be linked to training goals. We can add your branding to the VR headsets and prepare game scenarios for your event.
2. Creative workshops with technology
We combine classic workshops with new tools. Participants design in 3D and print their models, put together multimedia collages or paint digitally, and their work appears on big screens.
What you gain as the organiser
Team building through working together, and something guests learn along the way. We tailor the workshop theme to your industry, and the materials can carry your branding.
3. Sensory zones
This is a space that works on several senses at once. 3D mapping, carefully chosen scents, sounds and even textures let us build any setting, from a rainforest to a journey into space.
What you gain as the organiser
A clear differentiator for your event and a strong association with your brand. Every element of the zone can be adapted to your theme.
4. The NeuroSky zone: a game controlled by concentration
The NeuroSky zone uses headbands that measure brainwave activity. The participant controls an app or a game through concentration alone. Guests standing nearby immediately want to try it themselves.
What you gain as the organiser
The image of a company that's interested in new technologies. The attraction is easy to link to themes of wellbeing, personal development or business innovation.
5. Digital graffiti walls and live performance
Guests draw on tablets, and their work immediately appears on a large wall. Another option is an artist who creates a piece inspired by the event live.
What you gain as the organiser
A strong visual element and plenty of social media material created by the guests themselves (known as user-generated content). A conversation starts around the event that you don't have to drive yourself.
How to match an attraction to your event
Start with four things: the goal of the event, the guest profile, the budget and the space available. Our attractions can be scaled up and down. We'll help you spread the costs sensibly and set up the zones so they fit in the room and don't block the flow of people.
An attraction guests talk about after the event
A well-chosen attraction is spending that works for your company's image and guest engagement. It makes the event not just another entry in the calendar, but an evening people talk about in the office on Monday.
