The school sports day is one of the most quintessential British traditions, dating back to the Victorian era. Ask anyone educated in the UK about sports day, and they’ll likely go misty-eyed at the memories of sack race dramas, egg and spoon controversies and three-legged triumphs. Many will go on to see their children, or even grandchildren compete for family glory.

But how would sports day look in a corporate setting? With the exponential growth in competitive socialising, the value of fun in business (see our blog) has never been better appreciated. So, you could always rustle up the straightest teaspoons from the office kitchen, and some bean bags off Amazon. But what if you don’t have the space? What if Julie from accounts rolls her ankle? What will HR make of the Hula Hoop pass?! Then, there’s the unpredictable British weather…

Well, how about a modern twist on the traditional sports day? Something that can be played indoors (or out, in the right weather), that’s more inclusive, and with more exciting sports, including clay pigeon shooting, archery, tennis and golf? That’s the Unreal proposition. We bring everything needed for a fun, pop-up experience, including VR headsets, sporting accessories, a big screen for spectators to follow the action on and professional host(s). What’s more, we typically only need 2 × 2m of space, so we can offer your favourite sports… virtually anywhere!

So, get in touch, and let’s design your perfect virtual sports day, together!
