From an oversize Jenga game to a bathtub filled with rubber ducks, here's an assortment of ways event planners have incorporated old-fashioned games into corporate parties, fashion presentations, product launches, and more—smartphones not necessary.
Providing an upscale environment for classic games like penny toss and ring toss, Koncept designed stripped tents that were built by Occasions by Shangri La.
During a circus-theme event in Palm Beach, Florida, for an insurance company in May, Koncept Events filled bathtubs with rubber ducks. Two of the creatures in each "pond" had a star on them, and the guests who found the marked items received prizes.
A version of The Price is Right's fan-favorite game Plinko was also featured, with a stand full of prizes to choose from.
Last September in New York, the whiskey producer celebrated its 125th anniversary with a pop-up that became a speakeasy at night. Guests were given numbers to play bingo by brand ambassadors and mechanical chickens laid eggs on the boards.
At the Washington-area shopping mall's event earlier this summer, visitors were given three chances to throw Kendra Scott bracelets into boxes. Those who pulled it off, twice, won a bracelet.
Guests at a Stella McCartney fashion presentation in New York were invited to try their hand at the old-fashioned high striker game. The event featured a carnival theme.
Models tried their hands at tossing items to make balloons pop during the outdoor event.
In 2013, guests at a private mansion in Beverly Hills were invited to play Jenga in a giant, colorful version of the game. The vodka brand used the blocks as a place to display its name.
To celebrate the company's flavored vodkas, an oversize tic-tac-toe board featured images of citrus fruit as game pieces.
