Even though some French people claim to be completely unaffected by the passage of time, a birthday is always a significant event to celebrate with loved ones. Providing entertainment is always welcome for a pleasant evening. But what kind?
What activities should you choose when you want to have a successful birthday party?
A photo booth is an activity that involves renting a photo station to capture different moments of the evening. Usually equipped with costumes and props, the photos are then uploaded to a gallery accessible to participants and those who have access to it on social media. While the concept is fun, it doesn't take into account those who don't like dressing up or simply having their picture taken. They won't appear in the photos, which is a shame.
Quizzes are also popular. Available for free online, they can be found on a variety of topics. However, this often excludes people who don't enjoy reading, movies, current music, or animals. Children present may also feel a bit left out because they are too young to score points.
Hiring a DJ to liven up your party is a great way to have music all night long. But this means renting a venue, in addition to the professional's fee. It's also important to choose the right DJ so they actually play the music you enjoy. You can't do this at home, unless you want to risk angry neighbors and the police showing up.
A successful birthday: activities to plan
A birthday party in the pool is perfect for enjoying time with friends and family, offering a variety of games and challenges. But of course, this requires having a pool, which not everyone does.
There remains one activity that appeals to both adults and children (from age 9), men and women, speed and challenge enthusiasts as well as tactical masters: connected karting.
Powered by batteries, the karts can spin on the spot. Perfect for shooting at other karts, thanks to the onboard laser that scores points and slows them down. Once that's done, you have to drive as fast as possible around the track to cross the finish line with the most points.
But beware: since everyone has the same goal, you have to be cunning to avoid being targeted by others, while still managing to get under their skin. How to adopt the best strategy? That's for the participants to decide, based on their personalities. Laughter is guaranteed.
A major advantage of this activity is that it doesn't matter what birthday it is. Since it doesn't emit any gas, it can be done indoors or outdoors. The go-karts vary in size depending on the participants (adults or children), and the speed of the younger ones can be limited.
This entertainment is popular not only for birthday parties, but also for weddings, retirement parties, hen or stag parties and even corporate seminars.
With no one left out, this activity will appeal to all participants, who can play for hours. This is possible thanks to the spare batteries that come with the karts and the track. Made up of inflatable modules, the track can be arranged to create a circuit of varying difficulty, adding even more complexity to the game. Who will emerge victorious from this connected karting experience?
