The best entertainment for your corporate event

A corporate evening in Lyon is not just about the venue. The entertainment sets the pace and avoids downtime. It must be chosen to suit your teams and the level of involvement expected.

Bring the casino back to your company

The fictitious casino is based on tables run by professional croupiers, with chips distributed to participants at the start of the evening. Access to the tables is free. Everyone plays at their own pace. It can be easily integrated into a cocktail party or reception and encourages interaction between employees who do not know each other. It's a particularly popular format when the aim is to create a friendly atmosphere, without imposing an overly directive group activity.

Unusual team building with a blind test

This blind test is designed as a participative event, structured around a team game. Participants compete against each other on a variety of musical themes, with a moderator who sets the pace for the evening and keeps the group's attention. The format adapts to the size of the event and can be integrated into different parts of the evening. It works well for corporate events where the aim is to stimulate cohesion, while keeping the entertainment simple to understand and quick to set up.

An original corporate evening with a live blind test

Do you want to organise a New Year's Eve party to get your staff involved? What better way than to opt for an original blind test. The music is played on stage, one challenge follows another, and there is constant interaction with the teams. This format is just as suited to a cocktail party as it is to a more upbeat evening.

An acrobatic show for your corporate event

This entertainment is based on a visual show, designed to surprise without interrupting the flow of the evening. The acrobatic performances can be integrated into different highlights. Ideal if you want to organise a corporate Christmas tree in Lyon that everyone will love.
