PULTEVENT
Interactive entertainment packages: 6 bundles a host can sell
A hotel lobby in Edinburgh, a Tuesday morning. The event planner across the coffee table has three weddings, two company dinners and a charity ball in the next quarter, and she's giving me eleven minutes. She doesn't want to hear about my energy or my years on stage. She slides a notepad across and says, "Write down what I'd be buying. Names, what's in them, how long they run." I wrote four lines. She booked two of them.
★ Free for the first 3 days, no card required
Planners, venue managers and corporate clients buy the way they buy catering: from a short menu with clear names. A host who says "I can do anything you like" makes them do the thinking, and they'd rather book someone who has done it for them. A package is a promise with edges.
The packages below are built around PULTEVENT, where the whole interactive side runs from one laptop browser: the console on the laptop, the stage on the venue screen, and guests playing from their own phones through a QR code, with no app and no sign-up. Guest phones need internet, so every package includes a connectivity check in the venue questions. Prices are yours to set; this page is only about what goes in the box.
6 packages you can put on a menu tomorrow
1 The Welcome
Screen-only. A welcome screen with names and photos while guests arrive, video messages from people who couldn't come, break screens with timings, end credits.
How to run it. Offer it to clients who say they "don't want games." This isn't games, and they usually say yes.
It's the easiest entry point and it works even at venues where the Wi-Fi is hopeless.
2 The Dinner Companion
Two short rounds between courses: a quiz about the hosts or the company answered from phones, and a baby photo or old photo round.
How to run it. Agree the course timings with the kitchen so rounds never compete with plates landing.
Seated dinners are long. This fills them without anyone having to leave their chair.
3 The Party Night
The full evening: opener, quiz, a 3D race steered from phones for the post-dinner dip, a dance battle into the dancing, credits at the end.
How to run it. Build the running order with the DJ or band, so every game ends into a track they're ready to play.
The client gets a night with a shape, not a list of activities.
4 The Awards Night
Tables play as teams through the evening, live voting for company superlatives, a QR raffle for prizes, and a podium ceremony with confetti on screen.
How to run it. Get the award categories from the organizer two weeks ahead and check none of them embarrass a junior employee.
Corporate clients want a moment for the photos and the internal newsletter. This gives them one.
5 The Family Day
Big-screen games for all ages: horse race, bowling, Decorate the Tree at Christmas, True or False, and a raffle for the children's prizes.
How to run it. Ask the organizer about photo and phone rules if children are present, and follow them.
Parents at a family day are future clients for birthdays, office parties and weddings.
6 The Remote Edition
Any of the above, hosted online: you share the stage window in a video call and guests play from their phones at home.
How to run it. Shorter rounds, more breaks. Attention online is shorter than in a room.
The same package, sold to clients who will never be in the same building.
Name it for the result
"The Dinner Companion" sells. "Interactive module B" doesn't.
Fix the structure
Same running order every time, personalized with the client's names and photos.
Two or three tiers
Enough choice to feel in control, not so much that the client stalls.
One-page summary
What's included, how long, what you need from the venue.
Why packages beat a list of services
A list of services invites the client to design the night themselves, and most of them don't want to. A package says: this works, I've done it many times, here is how long it takes. It also protects you. When the structure is fixed, you're not reinventing the evening for every booking, and the preparation time drops with every repeat.
The client still personalizes it. They supply the names, the photos, the facts for the quiz and the video messages. You supply the shape.
What stays fixed and what changes
Fixed: the running order, the types of rounds, the length of each block, the technical requirements. Changes: the content inside each round, the language of the questions, the names on screen, the awards categories.
Build each package as a template in the console. For a new booking, you copy it and swap the content. The twentieth Awards Night takes a fraction of the time the first one did.
Presenting packages to planners
One page per package. The name, a two-line description of what the guests experience, the running time, what the client needs to send you and by when, and what you need from the venue: a screen with an HDMI input, power near it, and internet the guests can use. Add a thirty-second video clip if you have permission from a past client.
"What do you need from us on the day?"
"A screen, a socket, and the Wi-Fi password."
Planners love that answer. It's short, and it's one fewer thing on their list.
Leave a printed copy with every venue you work at. Coordinators get asked for entertainment suggestions all the time, and the host whose one-pager is sitting in the office drawer is the one they mention. Update it twice a year, when you change a package or add a new clip, and ask the venue to throw the old one away.
Pricing structure without the numbers
Price each package as a whole. Itemized quotes invite clients to remove pieces until the night no longer works. Offer add-ons on top, not substitutions inside: extra video messages, a second quiz round, end credits. Leave room between tiers so the step up feels worth it.
Your own costs are simpler if your tools don't bill monthly. PULTEVENT is a one-time license, no subscription; pricing is on pultevent.ru/en.
Being clear about limits
Say it on the one-pager: phone games need guests to have internet. Ready-made quiz decks are mostly Russian today, so English quizzes are written by you in the quiz builder (which, for a personal event, is the part clients value most). Guest screens follow each guest's phone language, which makes mixed-language events easier; the host can switch that off. Clear limits in writing mean no awkward conversations on the night.
Trying a package before you sell it
Build one package in the free 3-day demo, no card needed, and run it on your own TV with a few friends on their phones. Time each block. Those timings go straight onto your one-pager.
