10 ideas for successful afterworks – BluePoint

Disclaimer: all the ideas we present below are BluePoint-certified! That means their clients have already tried them out successfully in one of BluePoint’s conference centres.

1/ Cocktail bar

Want to introduce your staff to a delicious mix of flavours? Then treat them to a tasting organised by a professional in the business!

Don’t forget to serve snacks with your drinks and offer a mocktail menu for those who want it.

2/ Barbecue

A timeless classic, simple and effective. Who can resist a tasty skewer to enjoy with the rest of the team?

The barbecue after work is an excellent excuse to invite your staff if the weather is pleasant. A professional caterer can offer you a varied menu so you don’t have to stand next to the grill.

3/ The ” murder mystery dinner “

The concept consists of solving a fictitious murder case during a dinner. Guests are assigned of roles and clues are revealed during dinner.

4/ Food Truck Event

Why not introduce your employees to culinary diversity by organising Food Trucks with a theme? During an evening, your employees can sample different street food dishes from around the world.

5/ Drinks and dancing with a DJ or band

Whatever everyone says, the best way to take the pressure off is to get moving! Offer your staff drinks and set up a dance area (or even a dance floor, let’s go crazy).

6/ Karaoké

The principle is familiar: the lyrics of your favourite song roll across the screen and you let the audience enjoy your beautiful voice.

Some may prefer to go to a karaoke bar in the city centre, but many companies can now have the voice system and sound equipment delivered on location. The result is some real moments of glory that can be proudly displayed on the company’s Instagram wall….

7/ Dance lessons

Not everyone can move like John Travolta in Grease, but everyone can learn. With socialising making a lasting comeback (at least we hope so), why not offer your employees a discovery session: salsa, bacciata or tango? The choice is huge.

8/ Mini golf tournament

Miniature golf is accessible to all ages, both indoors and outdoors, and is an excellent activity to share with colleagues or explore during an introductory session. Again, no need to drag all your staff by bus to the nearest course: you can hire ready-made courses to organise your mini-tournament indoors.

9/ Mentalist show

When it comes to original activities that are easy to organise, magicians and mentalists top the list. In these shows, propelled by the series The Mentalist, one or more spectators often perform a particular challenge using only the intellectual and mental skills of the expert.

10/ Indoor ice rink

You can offer your colleagues an indoor skating session at your company if you have the space, or hire a professional event venue.
