Prizes Information
A recommended inclusion to make your games more engaging and rewarding for players.
Everyone loves winning a prize! So feel free to supply some or have your venue supply some by discussing this with them.
However many you use and their value is entirely up to you. For regular venues, prizes can consist of venue vouchers using different values, simple consumable prizes such as bottles of wine or chocolates, or a combination of both. Private one-off events could use more elaborate prizes with a larger range based on what the event is for. You can even adjust the prizes for regular games based on your audience size, if the crowd size is small then the venue could likely supply smaller valued prizes. For venues that increase the crowd size over time or have larger crowds in general, then prizes of a higher value could be used.
There really is no set structure or format to the prizes you use, or what you allocate them to. With this in mind, it is strongly recommended to have prizes to hand out even if they are of low value, to entice a larger number of players and make the event more rewarding.
Be sure to provide the amount of prizes you want to distribute through the event. For example, if you were to run a 2-hr event as indicated in the example timetable, then a total of 12 prizes would be handed out which include 1st, 2nd and 3rd place for each of the 3 bingo rounds, and one prize for each of the 3 mini-games after each round.
