6 Fast-Paced Activities for Pre-Christmas Parties for Groups of All Sizes

The Christmas party season is approaching, and many are already thinking about suitable activities for work groups, friend groups, or families. Successful Christmas parties require more than just food and drink – they need something dynamic and fun that brings people together and creates unforgettable memories. When choosing activities, it’s important to consider the group size, age distribution, and interests. Jumbo’s entertainment quarter offers versatile options suitable for both small and large groups. Whether your Christmas party is full of adrenaline or relaxation, among these six activities you’ll certainly find something that makes your celebration memorable.

1: Masters of Teamwork: Prison Island Challenge Tasks

Prison Island is a prison-themed adventure complex that offers a perfect combination of excitement, teamwork, and problem-solving. In this activity, groups solve various challenges requiring wit and agility against the clock. Teamwork is key, as many tasks require input from all participants.

Prison Island is excellently suited for work groups of different sizes, as the activity can be participated in teams of 2-5 people. It works especially well for groups of 10-30 people, who can divide into multiple teams and compete against each other. The challenges range from physical tasks to precise puzzle games, so there’s something for everyone. Although there are 25 challenges in total, you don’t need to complete all of them in one game session – the group can choose how many tasks they want to attempt.

Remember to book the activity in advance, as Prison Island is a very popular Christmas party activity. Game time can be reserved in 1-2 hour sessions, and private events can also be arranged for larger groups. Prices vary according to group size and game time. The activity excellently strengthens team spirit when teams get to solve problems together – “one for all, all for one.”

2: Bowling and Billiards: BowlCircus Glow Bowling

BowlCircus offers a high-quality bowling entertainment center where Christmas parties can be held in relaxed but premium settings. The center has 20 excellent bowling lanes and 7 top-level billiard tables, enabling even larger groups to play simultaneously. Glow bowling brings a new, exciting dimension to regular bowling as the lights dim and the lanes and pins glow in neon colors.

Groups of different sizes are excellently accommodated. Smaller groups can reserve a few lanes, while larger groups benefit from the center’s private facilities. BowlCircus features a stylish sauna section and private cabinets that are perfectly suited for Christmas parties. In connection with the cabinets, you can enjoy bowling and billiards, as well as dining and beverage service.

The restaurant with liquor license offers a diverse drink selection and tasty food portions, which can also be ordered in advance. This allows planning Christmas parties so that activities and dining blend seamlessly. BowlCircus is excellently suited for groups of 5-50 people, but there’s room for larger groups as well.

For groups, Olio VR offers several different games and experiences suitable for both individual and cooperative gameplay. They use top-of-the-line VR equipment that guarantees a realistic and immersive experience. Different game modes are available for various group sizes – smaller groups (4-12 people) can enjoy individual VR stations, while larger groups (up to 30 people) are offered rotation game modes where participants get to try several different games in turns.
