Game hire
for your own party
Giant games, traditional Dutch games, human table football and team games day games. You collect them in Enschede or we arrange delivery, with an explanation included. You do the rest.
Hire games without anyone needing to be there
If you want to hire games for a party, you often don't need a host. The games just need to be there, so people wander over to them between the food, the music and the conversations. For that, we now also hire out our giant games, traditional Dutch games, human table football and team games day games separately, without us staying on.
They're the games we use ourselves at family days and company parties. They're kept in our workshop in Enschede, where we also maintain them.
When you collect them, we go through the set together. You'll see how each game is set up, which parts belong to it and what to look out for. For human table football, we agree the set-up separately. After that, the games are yours to run until they have to go back.
- Collect in Enschede, delivery by arrangement
- Explanation of each game on collection
- Set put together for your space and ages
- With a host is also possible, if you'd prefer
Four kinds of games
Giant games
Large versions of games everyone knows from the table, such as giant pick-up sticks or a shuffle game. They stand on the grass or in a hall and draw people in by themselves, even when there's nobody there to invite them.
Traditional Dutch games
Sjoelen (Dutch shuffleboard), ring toss and other classics in wooden versions. They take up little space and hardly need any explanation.
Human table football
Table football in which the players are the figures themselves: they hold on to a bar and can only move sideways. It needs more space and set-up than the other games, so we agree what's needed for each booking.
Team games day games
Activities from our team games day, such as throwing and skill games. Handy if you want to set up a small competition yourself with a few teams and a score sheet.
Street party, school or company
At a street party or a birthday in the garden, a few giant games are often enough. Children play with them all afternoon, and adults join in as soon as there's a game of sjoelen at stake. You don't need a programme for that. Above all, the games need to be able to take a few knocks.
For schools, they suit a sports day, school party or the last day of term. The teachers know their classes and supervise themselves. For companies, they work at a summer drinks, an open day or a family day where you want something to do without a full programme.
If you'd rather have someone run the games, keep score and rotate the groups, take a look at our traditional Dutch games or the team games day. We're there the whole time.
Hiring giant games: what to look out for
Look at the space first. Giant games and traditional Dutch games fit on a lawn, a square or in a hall. Human table football needs a good stretch of flat ground with space around it. Tell us what the location looks like and we'll tell you which games fit.
Think about the weather too. Wooden games can handle a shower, but after a rainy day they need to come back dry. Agree within the group who counts and packs up the games at the end, otherwise everything will still be scattered across the field when the games have to go back.
You collect from our workshop in Enschede. Delivery is possible by arrangement, depending on the distance and the size of the set.
Frequently asked questions
Can I hire games without a host?
Yes, that's what this hire service is for. You collect the games, get an explanation of how everything works and then use them yourself. If you'd still like someone there to run the game, that's possible too.
Do I have to collect the games myself?
You can collect them from our workshop in Enschede. Delivery and collection afterwards are also possible, by arrangement. That depends on the distance, the size of the set and our schedule on the day. For human table football, we agree the set-up separately in advance.
Can the games also be used indoors?
Most giant games and traditional Dutch games work fine indoors, in a gym, canteen or company hall. Set up throwing games so nothing goes flying across the room. Whether human table football fits indoors depends on the space. We look at that for each booking.
How much does it cost to hire giant games?
That depends on which games, how many, for how long and whether we deliver. You'll get a price after a short enquiry, within 1 working day.
How far in advance should I book?
The sooner the better, because we only have a few of most games. Demand is highest around King's Day and in summer, when there are lots of street and school parties. If you know your date, send your enquiry straight away.
Which games would you like to hire?
Tell us the date, the location and the number of people, and we'll send you a proposal and a price within 1 working day.
