Company End-of-Year Party in Marrakech: Entertainment to Rent for Your Staff
For a company end-of-year party in Marrakech, the easiest entertainment to get colleagues mixing is the kind people play together: the arcade machine (more than 15,000 games), the pinball machine, the René Pierre foosball table and the NBA basketball hoop. Add the virtual reality simulator for a wow moment, the 360° photobooth for video keepsakes and a massage chair for those who would rather sit back.
This guide helps you choose according to headcount, the space you have in your offices or in a hired venue, and your budget. It does not cover daytime team-bonding activities: for those, see our team building guide for Marrakech.
Key takeaways
- Social games (arcade machine, pinball, foosball, NBA hoop): 1,200 to 1,500 MAD per day each, plus a refundable deposit.
- Showpieces: the VR simulator at 2,500 MAD per day (players 1.55 m to 2.00 m tall, staff member on site) and the 360° photobooth at 1,900 MAD, no deposit, with a dedicated attendant.
- An inter-department tournament is easy to run: the foosball table has built-in score counters and the arcade machine offers fighting, sports and shoot’em up games.
- Delivery, set-up and collection are included in Marrakech, at your offices or a hired venue; check access (the pinball machine weighs about 120 kg) and 220V sockets.

What entertainment should you rent for a company end-of-year party?
An end-of-year party brings together people who pass each other all year without really talking: accounts, sales, operations, management. On the night, the job of the entertainment is to give them a simple reason to gather around the same thing, with no speeches and no forced programme.
Bar and arcade games do this very well. The pinball machine, for instance, “requires no prior explanation” according to its product page, and both the foosball table and the arcade machine lend themselves to head-to-heads and tournaments. To mark the occasion, one or two more spectacular attractions complete the set: virtual reality and the 360° photobooth.
The table below sums up the eight attractions we suggest for a staff party, with the daily prices and deposits shown on the product pages, and the space to allow.
| Attraction | What it is for | Price / day | Deposit | Space needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arcade machine | Retro games, high-score challenges | 1,500 MAD | 4,800 MAD | 69 × 56 cm + 1.5 to 2 m² clear |
| Pinball machine | 1 to 4 players, no explanation needed | 1,200 MAD | 4,800 MAD | 71 × 140 cm + 2 to 3 m² clear |
| René Pierre foosball table | Singles or doubles, tournaments | 1,200 MAD | 2,300 MAD | Approx. 155 × 105 cm + 3 to 4 m² clear |
| NBA basketball hoop | Shooting contests | 1,200 MAD | 2,100 MAD | 145 × 77 cm base, on 6 wheels |
| KAT Walk VR simulator | Immersive experience, players take turns | 2,500 MAD | 2,000 MAD | ~1.2 m² + 3 to 4 m² clear |
| 360° photobooth | Shareable keepsake videos | 1,900 MAD | No deposit (dedicated attendant) | 100 cm diameter platform |
| Zero Gravity massage chair | Chill-out corner | 1,500 MAD | 3,600 MAD | Seat 1,510 × 790 × 1,030 mm |
| Punching bag on stand | Letting off steam, indoors | 1,200 MAD | 900 MAD | Approx. 1.40 × 1.40 m, 2.30 m high |
Games that bring every department together
These three games are the heart of an end-of-year games area. People understand them straight away, play them in groups, and they draw spectators too, which matters at a party where not everyone wants to play.
The arcade machine: more than 15,000 games for every generation
Its product page calls the arcade machine “a cross-generational entertainment par excellence”: adults rediscover the classics of their childhood with nostalgia, while younger colleagues discover retro gaming. More than 15,000 games come pre-installed, covering fighting, platform, sports, puzzle and classic arcade titles.
On the technical side, the cabinet measures 69 × 56 × 169 cm, with a 24″ Full HD LED screen and Pioneer 2.1 sound. It runs fully offline, with no Wi-Fi, on a standard 220V socket. Allow about 1.5 to 2 m² of clear space around it for players and onlookers.
Arcade machine rental costs 1,500 MAD per day, with a refundable deposit of 4,800 MAD. It is recommended for indoor or sheltered use; for an outdoor event, the product page says a tent or covered area is enough.
The pinball machine: nobody needs to learn how to play
The professional pinball machine takes 1 to 4 players and comes with 4 steel balls. Its multicoloured LED lighting and built-in stereo sound catch the eye in any room. According to its page, “children, adults and seniors play with the same enthusiasm”, and it needs no explanation.
One useful point for a company party: the product page states that the pinball machine does not require a dedicated staff member during the event. The team sets it up and configures it, then comes back to collect it. The professional pinball machine rents for 1,200 MAD per day, with a 4,800 MAD deposit. It weighs about 120 kg and measures 71 × 140 × 193 cm, which we come back to in the logistics section.
The René Pierre foosball table: the office tournament classic
The René Pierre MATCH is a professional, French-made bar foosball table: high-strength steel telescopic rods, hand-painted metal players, a Gerflex playing surface and built-in metal score counters. Balls are included.
It is easy to place: being entirely mechanical, it needs no power and can sit far from any socket. Allow about 155 × 105 × 90 cm plus 3 to 4 m² of clear space so the rods can slide freely. The René Pierre foosball table rents for 1,200 MAD per day, with a refundable deposit of 2,300 MAD.
Challenge attractions: basketball, virtual reality and the punching bag
Every team has people who need to move. These attractions add a sporty or spectacular side to the evening, as long as you give them a space slightly away from the tables and the buffet.
The NBA basketball hoop: a shooting contest between departments
The hoop adjusts manually from 2.10 m to 3.05 m, so the difficulty suits every player. The 3 mm polycarbonate backboard gives a near-professional rebound, and the 45 cm rim has a flex system that absorbs impacts.
It sits on 6 large wheels, so it is easy to move if you need to free up space during the evening. One detail to plan for: the product page does not list basketballs as included and asks you to contact the team to add some. The B900 BOX NBA basketball hoop rents for 1,200 MAD per day, with a 2,100 MAD deposit.
The virtual reality simulator: the evening’s wow moment
The simulator combines a KAT Walk omnidirectional treadmill with a wireless Pico headset: the player walks, runs, crouches or jumps through 360° worlds. The product page lists fantasy worlds, wild jungles, futuristic spaces, epic battles, zen experiences and sports simulations.
The VR simulator is designed for users between 1.55 m and 2.00 m tall, weighing up to 130 kg. Several people can take turns throughout the event, each choosing their own world: while one colleague explores, the others watch and cheer.
A Rent All staff member is on site to assist users. The product page notes that some sensitive people may feel slight discomfort in the first few minutes, and that the staff member can adapt the sessions. The KAT Walk virtual reality simulator rents for 2,500 MAD per day, with a refundable deposit of 2,000 MAD; it takes up about 1.2 m² of floor, with 3 to 4 m² clear around it.
The punching bag: an indoor-only way to let off steam
The free-standing punching bag (a 32 kg bag on a weighted steel stand) sets up without drilling on flat ground, indoors only, over about 1.40 × 1.40 m. It suits beginners and intermediates. The product page strongly recommends boxing gloves: ask the team whether they can provide them. Price: 1,200 MAD per day, 900 MAD deposit.
Running a team tournament during the party
A tournament turns a party where people just chat into a genuinely shared moment. The foosball and arcade product pages both mention it: singles or doubles on the foosball table, with built-in score counters to track results, and a “score challenge” on the arcade machine with fighting, sports or shoot’em up games.
Build teams that mix departments
The most useful tip is also the simplest: draw teams at random, or form pairs that mix departments and levels of seniority. A duo made of a salesperson and someone from accounts sparks more conversation than an already close-knit team playing another one.
Keep the format short
Foosball games are short, which, according to its product page, lets a large number of players rotate quickly. On the basketball hoop, a free-throw contest or a timed shooting round needs no extra equipment apart from balls. So the tournament does not take over the whole evening, set a time for the final and announce it as guests arrive.
Show the scores and plan a small prize-giving
A scoreboard everyone can see, on a flipchart or a whiteboard, keeps the games going and gets people cheering. The prize-giving can be folded into the management’s speech. For more structured daytime formats (workshops, supervised challenges), our team building guide for Marrakech covers the options.
The 360° photobooth: video keepsakes of the night
On a 100 cm circular platform, up to 4 people (300 kg maximum) strike a pose for a 360° video. Guests choose a 360° video with or without slow motion, and the dedicated app optimises the videos for social media (Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, Facebook).
For a company party, customisation is a real plus: the product page says the frame can be personalised with your logo, the event date or a theme, and that various props are available. Team videos, a whole department taking turns on the platform in small groups, make good keepsakes to share internally afterwards.
The photobooth is fully run by the team: a dedicated Rent All attendant operates it and welcomes your guests, and no deposit is required. 360° photobooth rental costs 1,900 MAD per day. A common-sense tip: before posting videos on company accounts, ask the employees who appear in them for their consent.
A chill-out corner for those who don’t play
Not everyone wants to play foosball at the end of the year. A quieter corner, a little away from the music, lets everyone find their place in the evening. The massage chair takes centre stage there: Zero Gravity position, a personalised massage through the L-Shape and Body Scan system, built-in heating and arm massage.
The Zero Gravity massage chair rents for 1,500 MAD per day, with a 3,600 MAD deposit. It also has Bluetooth and built-in speakers. We have a full article on how to set up a wellness corner for a corporate event, covering dimensions, placement and guest rotation.
At your offices or in a hired venue: the logistics
In Marrakech, delivery, set-up and collection are included in the daily rate. The team installs and tests the equipment; all you need to do is prepare the space and check a few practical points.
At the company’s premises
Holding the party in your own offices has one obvious advantage: everyone knows the way. But some equipment is heavy and bulky. The pinball machine weighs about 120 kg and stands 193 cm tall, the foosball table about 73 kg, the basketball hoop about 80 kg unweighted. Check door widths and lift or stair access, and mention them when you ask for a quote.
Locate the power sockets too: the arcade machine and the pinball machine run on a standard 220V socket, while the foosball table needs none. For the VR simulator, the 360° photobooth and the massage chair, the product pages do not specify the power supply, so ask the team what to provide. Finally, clear a flat, open area for the punching bag and the VR zone.
In a hired venue
If you are hiring a room, a villa or a restaurant for the occasion, tell the venue the delivery and collection times and pass on its exact address: a booking requires the date and place of delivery and return. To find a setting, our selection of the most beautiful event venues in Marrakech can help.
For an outdoor party, bear in mind that the arcade machine, pinball machine, foosball table and VR simulator are recommended for indoor or sheltered use. The arcade machine, foosball table and VR simulator pages say a tent or covered area is enough outdoors; for the pinball machine you need to contact the team; and the punching bag is for indoor use only.
Budget: three examples based on the product page prices
Prices are per day and, according to our event equipment rental prices page, they stay the same all year round. The deposit, specific to each item, is taken at booking and returned once the equipment has been checked: it is not an extra charge. Here are three common combinations for an end-of-year party in Marrakech.
| Package | Attractions | Total / day | Refundable deposits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Games area | Arcade machine + foosball + pinball | 3,900 MAD | 11,900 MAD |
| Sports tournament | NBA hoop + foosball + VR simulator | 4,900 MAD | 6,400 MAD |
| Full evening | Arcade machine + foosball + 360° photobooth + massage chair | 6,100 MAD | 10,700 MAD |
These amounts are not packages, they are simple sums: you can swap any line for another attraction from the comparison table and recalculate. A single trip and a single set-up cover all the attractions you choose.
Two rules from the terms and conditions are worth passing on to your purchasing team: the rental is paid in advance by bank transfer, and cancelling more than 48 hours before the rental date costs nothing (less than 48 hours before, 30% of the total amount is charged).
Booking for December: what to send
The product pages recommend booking ahead, especially for weekends and busy event periods. If your date is set, secure the equipment as early as possible rather than waiting for every last detail to be approved.
- the date of the party and the preferred delivery and collection times;
- the exact location (your offices or the hired venue) and any access constraints;
- the attractions you want, or your headcount if you would like advice;
- the name, email address and phone number of the person handling the booking.
Booking confirmation is sent by email or WhatsApp. For other pitfalls to avoid, you can read the mistakes to avoid when organising an event in Morocco.
