Questions About Choosing Funfair Games and Rides for Team Building

The most suitable funfair attractions for a team building event depend on what you want employees to do together. Some games produce clear scores, some encourage head-to-head competition, and others provide a shared break from the organised challenges. Building the right mixture can be more useful than relying on one type of activity throughout the day.

Which funfair games are suitable for scoring team challenges?

Games with a clear result can be useful when teams are collecting points at different activity stations. Traditional choices include Hoopla Side Stall, Ball In The Bucket Side Stall and Test Your Strength.

skill games provides further activities based around accuracy, control and judgement, while competitive games can help when the emphasis is on comparing performances.

What works well for head-to-head team building?

Direct competition can add a different dynamic from individual score challenges. Activities involving two or more simultaneous players allow colleagues to respond to each other rather than simply attempting to beat a recorded score.

Chaos Strike A Light | 4 Player provides a multiplayer reaction challenge, while multiplayer games contains further options for events built around direct participation.

Are reaction games useful for corporate teams?

Reaction challenges can create short rounds that are relatively easy to incorporate into a rotation. Batak Pro and Catch It - Reaction Ring Game provide different formats, with more choices available through reaction games.

They can be mixed with slower skill or strategy activities so the programme does not ask participants to perform the same kind of task repeatedly.

Can traditional fairground stalls be used for team building?

Yes. Familiar fairground games can be adapted to a team-event format by allocating attempts or points according to the programme being run. Their straightforward objectives can also make them useful when an event includes employees with very different levels of experience with organised games.

Browse fairground side stalls and games and carnival games for different styles of traditional challenge.

What can we use for strategy rather than physical competition?

Not every activity station needs to reward speed or physical performance. Strategy games can introduce a different type of challenge and provide another route into the event for participants who prefer thinking games.

Giant Connect 4, Giant Chess and Giant Draughts can be incorporated into a broader games area. garden games provides additional large-format options.

Are arcade machines suitable for team building events?

Arcade machines can provide individual scoring, direct competition or casual play depending on the equipment selected. They can work particularly well as a separate activity zone where employees can move between short games.

Arcade Basketball Machine, Dance Machine and Retro Arcade Machine Hire offer quite different experiences. See arcade game machines and electronic & digital games for more options.

Do funfair rides have a role in team building?

Rides do not necessarily need to become scored team challenges. They can instead provide shared entertainment between competitive sessions or form part of the social side of a larger corporate fun day. Individual ride suitability and operating requirements still apply.

fairground rides provides the broader ride selection. How to Choose the Right Funfair Rides & Games also explains some of the considerations involved when selecting attractions for an event.

How can we build a varied team building circuit?

One approach is to give different stations different purposes. A circuit might move teams between an accuracy game, reaction challenge, multiplayer activity and strategy game before finishing with a less structured funfair or social session.

This also gives different team members opportunities to contribute rather than making every round depend on the same ability. icebreaker games can provide another type of station where interaction is more important than achieving the highest score.

Should we choose different activities for a large workforce?

Participant numbers can influence the selection considerably. For larger groups, organisers need to think about throughput as well as the appeal of an individual attraction. Several activity stations can distribute participants more effectively than expecting the whole workforce to use one challenge in sequence.

How to Manage Queues at Funfairs provides useful guidance on waiting and visitor flow, while queue busters & waiting area games can help fill shorter gaps in the programme.

How do we choose a final mix of rides and games?

Consider the group size, venue, available time, accessibility requirements and desired balance between competition and informal entertainment. The final selection might include traditional fairground games, electronic challenges, strategy games and rides rather than several attractions that all test the same ability.
