Seminar Games

Seminars are designed for learning, discussion, and knowledge sharing, but even the most valuable content can suffer from fatigue if the day feels too static. Expo Play provides carefully selected Seminar Games that enhance engagement without distracting from the purpose of the event. Used at the right moments, games help maintain energy levels, support interaction, and create natural opportunities for discussion.

A Different Role from Conference Games

Unlike large conferences, seminars are typically smaller, more focused, and more structured. Games in this setting need to be subtle, professional, and easy to integrate around agendas and breakout sessions. Our seminar-friendly options are quick to play, visually tidy, and designed to complement learning rather than compete with it.

Ideal Games for Seminars and Workshops

We recommend games that encourage light interaction, problem-solving, or friendly competition without noise or disruption:

Giant Buzz Wire – an effective icebreaker that sparks conversation and shared laughter.
Strike a Light 2 Players – short reaction challenges ideal for energising delegates between sessions.
Giant Jenga – relaxed gameplay that works well during breaks or networking periods.
Giant Connect Four – inclusive, intuitive, and suitable for mixed audiences.
Crack the Safe – perfect for prize-based interaction or sponsor-led engagement.

Supporting Learning and Participation

Games can be used strategically to reinforce seminar objectives. For example, competitive challenges can reward participation in Q&A sessions, while prize-based games can be tied to feedback forms or learning outcomes. This approach encourages delegates to stay engaged throughout the day rather than switching off between sessions.

Custom Branding for Seminar Environments

Our Custom Branded Games allow organisers, sponsors, or training providers to integrate branding in a refined, professional way. Logos, colours, and messaging can be applied to game panels and signage without overwhelming the space, making them suitable for corporate training, CPD events, and sponsored seminars.

Flexible Layouts for Smaller Venues

Seminars are often held in hotel meeting rooms, training centres, or university spaces. Our games are selected to fit comfortably within these environments and can be positioned in breakout areas, reception zones, or refreshment spaces. We regularly support events at venues such as Exhibition Hire at the ICC Birmingham, Exhibition Hire in the Manchester Central Convention Complex, and regional conference hotels.

Encouraging Networking Without Pressure

Seminar games help remove the awkwardness that can come with structured networking. Light, optional gameplay gives delegates a shared activity to talk about, making it easier to start conversations naturally without forced icebreakers.

Professional Delivery and Support

Expo Play handles delivery, setup, and breakdown with minimal disruption to your schedule. All equipment is maintained to high standards, PAT tested where required, and covered by public liability insurance. Staff can be provided to manage the games or assist delegates if needed.

Enhancing the Overall Seminar Experience

When used thoughtfully, games add value to seminars by improving focus, encouraging interaction, and making the day feel more balanced. They help transform a series of talks into an engaging experience that attendees remember for the right reasons.
