VR Christmas parties in Corby: a work do that is not the same old thing

VR Christmas parties in Corby: a work do that is not the same old thing

Everyone has done the meal-and-drinks Christmas do. It is fine. But if you want a work party people actually talk about in January, a VR Christmas party is a different kind of afternoon, and it books up fast for December.

Why VR works for a work Christmas party

The problem with most office parties is that people split into the same little groups they sit near all year. Free-roam VR fixes that without anyone noticing. Up to six players share the same virtual world at once, so colleagues who never normally work together end up shouting warnings across a zombie apocalypse or solving a room together. It is teamwork by accident, which is the only kind that actually lands.

No headset experience is needed, nobody sits out, and there is no cringe. The team just plays.

How a corporate group runs

For a bigger company we run the group through in waves, so everyone gets their turn in the arena while the rest watch, heckle and grab a drink. A typical corporate Christmas booking mixes free-roam VR with our escape rooms, and you can add Console Corner time for the downtime between sessions. We handle the running order so you are not project-managing your own party.

If your team is closer to a standard group size, a straight team building session is the simplest way in, and it works just as well as a festive social as it does a serious away day.

The practical bits

  • We are in Corby, a short drive from Kettering, Wellingborough, Northampton, Market Harborough and Leicester, with free parking right outside
  • Invoicing is available for company bookings, so you are not putting the whole thing on a personal card
  • December weekends and Friday afternoons go first, so the earlier you lock a date the better
  • Bring your own food and drink for the break, or ask us about add-ons when you book

Book your Christmas do early

The run-up to Christmas is our busiest stretch of the year, and the best slots go weeks ahead. If you want a work party that is genuinely different this year, get in touch with your rough numbers and preferred date, and we will put something together. You can also read what to expect if your team is new to VR.
