Claw Game
The number one magnet for kids. Fill it with plush toys or small company items so every child wins something and parents relax.
A company family day that works for kids and parents alike
A family day succeeds when it speaks to three age groups at once. So we've built it in zones: one for the little ones, one for teens, one for adults — with shared experiences to finish.
What we recommend for this event
Every one of these is from our own inventory, available to rent with staff.
Retro Arcade
Parents get nostalgic, kids discover something new — very few activities hold two generations at once, and this is one of them.
Virtual Reality
The teen zone. Short 3-5 minute sessions so the queue keeps moving and everyone gets a turn.
TapTap
Dad versus son — the most common duel at a family day. Short rounds, instant results, and everyone comes back for a rematch.
Football Drills
An outdoor corner for kids and adults alike: passing accuracy, shot power, speed. Easy to build an all-day leaderboard on.
AI photo booth
A family AI photo: superhero styling lands with the kids, a storybook portrait with the parents. A photo that genuinely ends up on the fridge.
360 Spinner
The whole family fits on the platform at once. The group video ends up being the most-shared content of the day.
Prinker
Washable tattoos in seconds — the biggest hit with children, and the queue moves fast.
Lucky Spin
Everybody wins something, so no child leaves disappointed. A good tool for getting families to walk the whole site.
Hurricane Wind Tunnel
There's always a crowd around the wind cabin because watching is half the fun. It lands with teens and adults alike.
Marble Race
A calmer skill station for younger kids — a good counterpoint to the loud zones.
Zoning is what makes it work
The most common mistake is putting every station in one block: loud VR ends up next to a toddler skill game and both suffer. Split the site into kids, teen and family zones — parents then know where to take their child, and no single mega-queue forms.
Throughput and queues
A family day can put 300-800 people through the site in a day. Plan short, 1-3 minute activities near the entrance and place the longer, 5-minute experiences (VR, 360) further back. It's the simplest way to stop the crowd bottlenecking at the gate.

And if food is on the list…
And if food is on the list: candy floss, popcorn and slush aren't extras at a family day, they're basics. With Snack Supply they can sit in the same quote as your activities.
Cotton candy
The mandatory family-day station, spun on site.
Popcorn
Branded bags, served continuously.
Slushie
The fastest-emptying station at a summer family day.
Corn on the cob station
Custom conceptA classic outdoor favourite. Custom concept – ask us for a quote.
Pretzel & snack counter
Savoury bites for the morning stretch.
Bubble Tea Bar
The favourite of the teen zone.
Custom concepts we'd build for this
These aren't off-the-shelf rentals but concepts: if one appeals, we'll talk through the build and the lead time.
Family passport
Every family gets a passport and collects a stamp at each station. Full passport = prize. It gets families walking the whole site instead of the two stations nearest the entrance.
Generation duel
A parent-versus-child leaderboard aggregated across several games, with separate categories. A simple idea, but the end-of-day announcement keeps momentum going all afternoon.

Frequently asked questions
- How many activities do we need for 500 guests?
- From experience, 6-8 stations is the ratio where no queue exceeds 15 minutes. If the event runs under 4 hours, more fast stations beat fewer long ones.
- What happens if it rains?
- Most activities run under a marquee. During planning we flag which ones definitely need cover and give you a plan B.
- Do the stations need staff?
- Yes, and every activity comes with a Gifie host who runs the machine and manages the queue. That's included — you don't have to assign colleagues to it.
