Arcade games for staff engagement and team competitions

A friendly competition does more for team spirit than another all-staff email. A branded arcade in the office, the canteen or at the staff party gives people a reason to mix, compete and talk.

Why it works

  • Teams compete on a shared leaderboard; two players can go head to head.
  • The leaderboard can show on office screens or a web link for remote colleagues.
  • Each internal campaign (wellbeing week, a product launch, a charity drive) can have its own branding and leaderboard.
Live leaderboard on a second screen – A game ends on the arcade and the leaderboard on another TV updates straight away, with a celebration for a new top score.

A set-up that works

  • A cabinet or a big screen in a breakout space
  • Names shown as first name and initial
  • A campaign leaderboard with a charity donation for the winner
  • The leaderboard on the office screens via its web link

Ideas

Pair a leaderboard with a charity drive: every play raises a little, and the top score picks the charity. Rotate the games each month so new people get a chance at the top.

Questions

Can the leaderboard show on another screen?

Yes. Any TV or screen on the venue network can show the live leaderboard, and there is also a web link you can put on any screen anywhere, such as a reception display or a big screen above the stand. New scores appear straight away, with a celebration when someone takes the top spot.

Can two people play at once?

Yes. Two players can play side by side on the same screen, each with their own controls, and the higher score goes on the leaderboard.

Is it suitable for all ages?

Yes. The games are easy to pick up, games last a minute or two, and there is nothing unsuitable for families or a corporate audience.

Can we choose which games are available?

Yes. Show all seven in the game menu, pick a few, or lock the arcade to a single game, which is ideal for a one-game challenge with one leaderboard. You can also set the difficulty, number of lives and a time limit.
