Click!

Photo booths at a corporate event are like killing two birds with one stone. Not only do they provide lots of entertainment – with all the witty dialogue bubbles, photo ops, and fun accessories for posing – the pictures, or 3D printed objects you get to take home, also serve as a recall of a successful and enjoyable event. 

The right tune

Organize live music entertainment for your event. You could step away from the regular formula and go for local artists who showcase regional culture. Or play safe and hire a cover band. Get everyone’s feet tapping, then go ahead and personalize it by making the show end with karaoke with the band! Browse through Hafla’s entertainment menu just to see the number and types of options they have to offer.

Hypnotize them

Yes, it sounds a little dicey, but you’d be surprised how many people are ready to have experimented within any given group. Once you have willing participants, they are put in the hands of a good hypnotist. Now sit back and see your colleagues search for their noses under a trance!

Game shows

Game shows are always a hit. Everyone loves trying out their luck, and what better way than a noisy, exciting game show. Set up crowd favorites like Wheel of Fortune and watch your guest list have the time of their lives.

Celeb impersonators

No, it’s not childish! And even if it is, people love celebrity impersonators who work the crowd posing for photographs, giving autographs, and mingling. Hire lookalikes of current favorites or go for classics like Elvis, Donald Trump, and Oprah and you won’t be disappointed.

It’s magic!

Magic has always been fascinating to everyone. Across the board, you will find people drawn to magicians and their tricks. Plan an elaborate show – stage, lights, and accessories – or have strolling magicians casually entertain your guests. 

Movie time

Stage a classic movie under the stars and follow it up with a cinema quiz just to keep competitive juices flowing. Keeping the current situation in mind, you could set it up in an outdoor space, with appropriate social distancing.
