Spice Up Your Event With Corporate After Dinner Games

In the corporate world you have a variety of characteristics and personality types. That is why it is so hard for a planner to come up with appealing events. Corporate affairs including corporate dinners and events are hard to plan for taking these different personalities and styles into consideration.

Company planners, usually marketing and promotions departments are knighted with the planning responsibility. The creativeness they use and the success of the event can make or break them career wise. If you are charged with planning an event and want to spice it up with Corporate after dinner games, then you are in luck. Here are a few ideas you may want to try.

After dinner games are perfect. Traditionally, after everyone has had their meal up through desert, there is usually nothing left, but perhaps a speech or two, or maybe even an award or two, or perhaps a presentation. Unless the speaker is short and quick to the point or a comedian to wake everyone up, it can get pretty boring and the guest can get restless and looking at their watches.

When you start thinking games, it's hard to determine what will go over well, be entertaining and fit all personality types. In the corporate world, you hear a lot about team work, but the bottom line is everyone wants to be number one in some form or fashion. People can get really competitive. So why not give them something to compete about.

One way to get them going is to divide guests who want to participate into 2 teams. This can be very simple. You can just divide the seating arrangements or the room half and half.

You can also divide them, if it is fairly even into women versus men. If it makes it easier, it can be department versus department or company versus company. It depends on your event and what you think will work best.

Have a big presentation projector where you can display a variety of company logos. Do your homework. Try to find a few easy logos and some hard ones for your guest to identify. Project each logo until a team names it. Each time a team names the logo they win one point. At the end of the logo slideshow, the team with the most points of course is the winner.

So there won't be confusion, each team has to work as a team, and give the captain the answer. The prop is a bell that is provided to each team captain. Once they have an answer to provide, they ring the bell. If the team answers incorrectly, the other team gets the option to answer and score.

Now, this may sound a little silly, but you'd be surprised at how many raise to provide the answer. This will get the competitive juices going, trust me. To make it fun, have goody bags or prepackaged gifts for the winning team. It can be something small but memorable that will signify that they are winners.

There are also loads of great activities and events that can be organised through and entertainments company such as the type you may find on the internet. Take your time to have a look around and find the right package for your guests, you may find that a fun casino or a giant games night is more your style or maybe an organised Wii event with teams competing against each other for a gold medal would be best suited.

The list is endless from murder mystery nights to horse racing and fully themed corporate dinner parties its just a case of making sure you please the majority of your guests and select the right venue for your needs!
