The Christmas function problem
Everyone has been to the December lunch where half the team leaves after the mains and the other half is three drinks past useful by two o'clock. The trouble is not the food — it is that sitting at a long table is not an activity, so the only thing to do is drink.
An hour in the arena fixes it. People who have worked together for five years discover things about each other. The quiet one from accounts turns out to be terrifying. Then you eat, and the conversation actually has somewhere to go.

End-of-year groups we've hosted
Read more reviews →“Hosted a party here with more than 30 people but the owner still managed it well so we could all have fun!!! The game room for the Laser Tag was so huge!”
“Brought 6 boys after school to burn energy. We all had a spectacular time. So much fun. Shall be back soon.”
“Thanks so much for hosting our advisory committee end of year celebration. Great to deal with a local business that really knows their stuff. The extras like having access to a fridge, microwave, sink and food prep area are so appreciated!”
Christmas function questions
When should we book?
Early. December fills from about October, and the good evening slots go first. If you are reading this in November, ring today rather than tomorrow.
What does it cost per head?
The Christmas package is $1,100 for 3 hours — laser tag + arcades + BYO alcohol. Or book by the head: a flat $25 for an hour or $35 for two, minimum 8. That is usually well under what a sit-down function costs before anyone has ordered a drink.
Can you invoice the company?
Yes — 14-day account payment is available for organisations, so it goes through accounts payable rather than someone's personal card.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Yes. BYO food is always welcome, and BYO alcohol is included in the Christmas package (or a $59 add-on to an hourly booking, over-18s). There is a fridge, freezer, microwave and pie warmer, and plenty of groups get catering or pizza delivered.
What about staff who don't want to play?
Some people will happily sit out and heckle from the tables, and that is fine — the venue is yours either way. But it is worth saying that the people who insist they will not play are usually the ones still going in round three.
Can we do it in the daytime?
Yes, and weekday daytime is much easier to get in December. A late-morning session that runs into lunch works well and gets everyone home at a reasonable hour.
Is it suitable for a family Christmas do?
Very — the kids and the adults play the same game, which is not true of most Christmas venues. Minimum age is 6.
Christmas at your place instead?
We can bring the whole setup to your office, warehouse or staff Christmas day — anywhere in Darwin. From $1,100.
