Office Party Ideas That Will Work 110%

Let’s be real, coming up with a unique work party celebration takes a lot of time and effort, especially when it involves a team of colleagues who judge every little move you make. Team events are a pivotal investment. In Sydney and many other cities, the end of the year calls for companies and businesses to reward their employees and celebrate their success. How you celebrate a year around the sun is what makes all the difference. It’s time to ‘terminate’ the same old dinner and drinks and ‘buy-in’ something unique which your colleagues will actually appreciate.

Take off the lid on relaxation

There are many elements which make for a successful work party celebration and the number one on that list should be ‘relaxation’. Yes, good food and drinks too. The best choice to impress your mates is to take to the waters on board the famous Christmas party harbour cruises on Sydney Harbour. The idea of a celebration is to relieve the stress of the year and these magnificent cruises offer you with the best of everything to do so. As soon as you set foot inside the cruise you’ll feel more laid back as you sail past some of the most stunning sights of the city including the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and many more - perfect for those ’gram worthy team photos. They typically offer a scrumptious lunch and wide range of beverage upgrades as well, making it the ideal harbour cruise for a Christmas party. This should be your first option if you're looking to take your A-team to a unique wine and dine experience.

Beat the boss

After a long year of gruesome audits, dreaded business meetings and inescapable deadlines, your team will appreciate a chance to let their hair down and go full-beast mode. For vibrant colours and killer delights, head to the famous Archie Brother's Cirque Electriq - picture retro arcade games, laser tags, mouth-watering burgers and tasty cocktails! Kick off with a welcome drink and maybe a few appetisers and chill in the lounge area where you and your team can share a few laughs and let off some steam. Later, you can test your skills on the old and new arcade games like Pac-man, Mario Kart, Invaders and more - maybe even challenge the boss to see who comes out on top! And if you're having a day of sweeping victories, you might end up going home with one of Archie's collectibles!

Let it go!

Going forward, the next one’s a game changer. Release your inner Kratos and perhaps let off that anger over that testing client with a few rounds of axe-throwing! Sip on some delicate drinks and crispy appetisers as you battle it out with your teammates. The adrenaline will hit sky high as you take turns in lifting the mighty axe and hurling it at the wooden targets. Picture yourself as a legendary viking slicing and dicing your way through the enemies - only, you're just throwing it here! Don’t worry if you haven't had any prior practice, a friendly group of professionals will lend you a hand and you will be swinging those razor-sharp tools like a pro in no time. Who knows, maybe you will be the one to replace Chris Hemsworth in the next Thor movie!

Add a touch of culture

Time for a paradigm shift. Learn the true art of mastery of a match made in heaven by getting your team together for a cheese and wine pairing class. Led by professional sommeliers, you’ll sample a variety of wines and cheese and reawaken your love for quality food and wine! You will learn about the acidity, complexity and intensity of certain wines and learn who they can be paired with to complement or compete against each other by tasting! After all, the best lessons are learned through practice right?!
