Replace virtual trivia and happy hours with real gun turrets

Give the social a different kind of competition

A quiz asks colleagues to remember an answer. A happy hour gives them a place to talk. A gun turret match gives each player direct control over what happens in a real arena. Click or tap an active green target, watch the gun turret turn and fire, and see confirmed projectile impacts count as kills. The player with the most confirmed kills wins the round.

Keep your usual company call or chat alongside the game if you want conversation. The game itself runs in each player's browser. Colleagues in different offices and at home use the same controls and shoot at the same live targets; the organiser can introduce the event in the existing social channel.

Replace the activity in your calendar invitation

1. Price the group in the booking planner and use its session length for the calendar invitation. Choose your start time; the planner displays it in your own time zone.
2. Describe the activity directly: ‘We're playing real gun turrets together online. Join from your own phone or laptop.’ Include the event link and start time with a named time zone.
3. If you use a company call for the social, place its link beside the game link. Each colleague opens their own player browser; a shared screen can show the action alongside those individual controls.
4. Use your opening message to explain the scoring: click green targets, land confirmed hits and compete for the round. Shov runs the arena, live AI announcer and company leaderboard.
5. Let the competition carry the session. Colleagues return for more turns as the back-to-back matches continue, then share scores and replay links in your company chat.

Plan for the whole group and several turns

The arena has 12 gun turrets and starts a new match every 90 seconds, with no gap between rounds. That provides 480 player slots an hour. A slot is one player's turn in one match; repeat turns count toward that total. Players return to the lobby after their matches while the group rotates through new rounds.

Large and whole-company groups make the competition bigger. Invite departments across the company and give colleagues several visits to the arena. A single booked session works for a shared social block; an arena-day booking lets staff join between work and come back throughout the day.

Group sessions have a $500 minimum. The per-person rate depends on headcount; extra arena matches cost $50 each. The live planner shows the total and duration before payment. For an event that spans the working day, compare the fixed 5-hour ($8,000) and 10-hour ($14,000) private-arena bookings.

An invitation you can adapt

Next team social: real gun turrets. We're taking over a live range and competing from our own browsers. Open the event link on your phone or laptop at the time in the invitation. Aim at the green targets, chase the leaderboard and come back for more rounds.

Add your confirmed event link, time zone and booked start and end times to that message. For an arena day, say when the range opens and closes and suggest visits between existing meetings or work blocks. Colleagues can join with the invitation during the booking window.

Show colleagues the real range before the event

Use the player footage above in your event announcement. It shows the controls and live targets people will use. Players receive highlight reels by email after their matches; the organiser receives a recap video, event page and leaderboard image after the session. Those give the company something concrete to share after the social.
