New Year & Sales Kickoff Entertainment in NJ, NYC & CT
Start the year with the whole room playing, not scrolling. It’s PlayTyme brings a professionally hosted game show to your January kickoff, all-hands or sales kickoff: host, sound engineer, podiums, buzzers and keypads for 20 to 300+ people, at your office, hotel or venue.
A Kickoff Needs More Than a Keynote
Kickoffs pack a year of goals into one day. By mid-afternoon the room has sat through a stack of slides and the energy is gone. A hosted game show resets the room: departments and regions compete, new hires meet the people they will work with, and this year’s priorities become questions that everyone answers out loud. It is the part of the day people are still talking about in February.
What We Build Into Your Kickoff
Year-ahead rounds written from your goals
Send us your launches, targets, values and milestones. We turn them into custom questions, so the content of the game is the message of the day.
Region against region, team against team
Sales teams and departments compete head to head in Face-2-Face Feud or The Challenge, with podiums, buzzers and a live scoreboard.
Everyone plays at once
With PlayPad Mania, every table answers every question on wireless keypads and scores update live on screen. Nobody waits for a turn.
A welcome for new hires
Rounds that introduce leaders, teams and company history turn a room of strangers into colleagues who already share a laugh.
Room for awards and recognition
We run the show around your awards and leadership remarks, or close the day with a winners’ circle.
A clean fit in the agenda
After lunch, before the evening reception or as the closing session. The show runs 60 or 90 minutes.
When to Book Your Kickoff
Most kickoffs land in the first three weeks of January, and many companies plan them while they are still wrapping up the holiday party. Planning in November or early December gives you time to build custom rounds from your goals. An approximate headcount is enough to hold a date, and there is no deposit.
Planning the holiday party too? See our office holiday party entertainment, or browse new year kickoff meeting activities you can run in-house.
