Sample watch-party packages by crowd size
| Event size | Best rental mix | Layout tip |
|---|---|---|
| 25–75 guests | Screen or TV zone, Cornhole, Giant Jenga, popcorn, 360 photo booth. | Keep food behind or beside the viewing area so guests do not cross in front of the screen. |
| 75–200 guests | Movie screen, giant games row, sports challenge, concessions, photo booth, P.A. system. | Create a clear fan-zone triangle: viewing zone, game zone, food zone. |
| 200+ guests | Large viewing setup, multiple sports games, carnival challenge, concessions, photo booth, staffed flow plan. | Use two game zones so one line does not dominate the whole event. |
