How many modules does a company party need?
The most common question in a consultation, and the one with the least satisfying answer: it depends. Three figures decide it, and once you know them, a gut feeling turns into a calculation.
Guest count and throughput
Every module has a throughput — how many guests it keeps busy per hour. Bull riding manages far fewer than a bouncy castle, because only one person sits on it at a time. Do not calculate with the guest count but with how many of them want to be doing something at once; in our experience that is a fraction, not everyone.
Duration of the event
A four-hour afternoon needs fewer stations than a ten-hour day. Not because more guests come, but because the same guests stay longer and a module is eventually done with. From about six hours on, variety pays off more than quantity.
Share of children
Children and adults can rarely be kept busy at the same station. If both groups come, plan two separate areas — otherwise one half queues while the other stands next to it.
The starting point
As a starting point for the conversation, not as a rule: for an afternoon with a mixed audience, the usual order of magnitude is between a handful and a good dozen modules. Exactly where, we work out with your three figures.
