Can the games be picked up/dropped off?
Absolutely! You can collect and return the games from/to our home in Tamahere. Please keep in mind that some of the games are quite large and quite heavy. We recommend bringing a friend to help you. We will also help as well!
Will the games fit in my car?
Depending on the games you hire, and the size of the car you drive - possibly. The game that will NOT fit in a car is our connect four. This will require a ute or a trailer. If you are wanting to pick up, just let us know the details and we will let you know if we think it will fit. Please also keep in mind how many games you are hiring and the amount of space needed to transport them. Our games are LARGE.
Can you deliver and collect the games for us?
Sure can! We are happy to deliver and collect the games within Hamilton and Cambridge for a price of $50. Locations outside these boundaries will need to be discussed.
I have an event outside of the Waikato, can I hire the games?
We are happy for the games to travel and will work with you to organise this. Hire time frames and cost of delivery/pick up will need to be kept in mind.
What happens if it rains?
While these are outdoor games, they are NOT to be left out in the rain. Please ensure to bring the games undercover in the event of rain so they do not get damaged and your bond forfeited. As below, most our our games are suitable indoors so we suggest having a Plan B in the event of rain. We also have some gorgeous rugs we supply free of charge to put under some of the games in the event that you need to relocate indoors.
My event is indoors; can I still hire your games?
Yes you can! Most of our games are suitable for the indoors, but best to check with your venue.
Things to keep in mind:
-
If you are having these games at a venue, please speak with the venue for permission to set up. Some venues may have restrictions on games that dig into lawn and hence you may not be allowed to set up games like Croquet.
-
Ensure you organise substantial space for the games and consult the games descriptions and measurements.
-
If you intend to play the games on any surface other than lawn, please consult us to ensure it is safe for the games, venue and guests to play.
-
Please try and reduce the amount of drinks that are consumed in the area around the games - we don't enjoy trying to get split red wine out of our games!

** CARE OF ITEMS **
As you can appreciate, putting together something like this for us as a business comes at a large cost. Please respect our items as if they were yours. Please keep pets away from setup to avoid any damage to the screen or projector. If setting up early, please keep the projector indoors until it is time to get started to avoid it being in the sun for hours on end. If it rains, you must be prepared to bring the whole setup indoors, starting with the electrics first. In the event of any damage, you will be responsible for costs to fix or replace. While we take a bond for security, your bond WILL NOT cover the costs of replacement for either the screen or projector let alone both, so you will be invoiced the difference.
Things to keep in mind:

If you are having this set up at a venue, please speak with the venue for permission to set up. Some venues may have restrictions on noise etc.
-
Ensure you organise substantial space for the screen and seating set up.
