Hen and stag parties and outings
in Utrecht
The guest of honour gets the starring role, not the punishment. We build the programme and host it ourselves too.
The starring role without the embarrassment
Of everything we build for groups, the hen or stag party is the job with the oddest pitfall: the organiser wants something special, and the person at the centre mostly doesn't want to be made a fool of. So we build a programme in which the guest of honour does get the starring role, but also enjoys it themselves. Think of a challenge game around the city, a TV-style game concept in which the group competes against each other, or a murder mystery dinner in which everyone plays a part. What we don't do is tasks designed to embarrass someone.
Utrecht has a compact centre, and that's handy if you want to run a programme around the city: the group walks from point to point without losing time on getting around. We set up the route so that the start and the finish link up with where you're going to eat or drink afterwards. If you'd rather stay in one place, that's possible too. Then we need a room with power and enough space to work in small groups. We bring the tasks, the materials and someone to run the programme.

Frequently asked questions
Do you consult the guest of honour or not?
No, unless the organiser wants us to. We agree everything with the person organising the party. We do ask beforehand what the guest of honour dislikes, so we can avoid it rather than accidentally targeting it.
Can it go around the city, or does it have to be in one place?
Both are possible. A challenge game around the city keeps the group moving, while a programme at one venue is more practical if there's also a meal. We often combine the two: first around the city, then carrying on at a fixed place.
From how many people can you do something?
It works well from around eight people. With smaller groups the competition element drops away, so we make it a programme that's more about the story than about points.
