Private events

Small floors, carefully judged

A private party is not a scaled-down corporate function. The guest list is mixed, the room is often smaller, and the host wants to spend the evening with their friends rather than running a programme. So we keep the footprint tight — usually one or two tables and a host who reads the room — and we take care of everything from the first delivery to the last flight case leaving.

Tables can run continuously for guests who want to stay put, or in short sessions between dinner courses. Either way, the chips are symbolic, the mood is sociable, and nobody is ever playing for money.

What is included

Everything in the booking

We do not publish prices. Every evening is quoted individually, based on the size of the event, the venue, the number of tables and the format you choose.

One to four themed tables
Sized to your room. We measure before we quote so nothing arrives that will not fit.
A host who reads the room
Experienced with mixed-age adult groups, patient with first-timers, and happy to teach the rules in 90 seconds.
Welcome chips for every guest
Handed out at the door as part of the welcome, with no money involved at any stage.
Quiet delivery and removal
Evening pack-down available so your celebration is not interrupted by a crew.
Optional keepsakes
Personalised cards, a printed table sign or a photo corner for the host.

How it runs

The sequence on the day

  1. Tell us the room

    Address, floor, access and rough guest numbers.

  2. Pick a shape

    One table all night, or two tables for a shorter, busier window.

  3. We arrive early

    Setup is typically 60 to 120 minutes for a private floor.

  4. Play when you are ready

    Your host starts on your signal, not on a timetable.

  5. We disappear

    Pack-down is quiet and usually finished within an hour.

Why this is a safe offline format

Private parties runs entirely in person at your venue. Guests receive symbolic chips free of charge; those chips have no monetary value, cannot be purchased, cannot be exchanged for money, vouchers or goods, and are collected at the end of the night. There is no betting, no stake of any kind, no payout and no online component. Entry is restricted to adults aged 20+ and over, and our hosts state the format out loud before each table opens.

Client feedback

What organisers tell us

Feedback is published anonymously. We never use client logos or name organisations without written permission.

We had three generations of adults in the room and the table was the one place everybody ended up. The host was lovely with the people who had never played anything like it.

Good to know

Questions about this format

Can guests lose money?
No. There is no money on the table at any point. Chips are symbolic props, they are issued free of charge, and they cannot be bought, sold or exchanged.
Will it fit in my house?
Usually, yes. Our compact tables pass through a standard doorway and need roughly three by three metres of clear floor with room for guests to stand.
Can under-20s be present?
No. Our tables are an adults-only format and we do not run them at events where people under 20+ have access to the entertainment area.
How late can you run?
We staff events for up to 8 hours in total. Later finishes can usually be arranged when we know early enough.
