A 10-20 minute phone conversation is all we need to provide a high quality virtual, hybrid, or in person event for your amazing group.
Once your virtual, hybrid, or in person event has been booked; provide your amazing group with the date, time, and Zoom link so they can log in on their smart phone or laptop. We'll gladly provide an event description and a promo video for free. We can even create a personalized flyer and animated graphic to help market your soiree for just $50!
Our host moderates the entire event with themed backgrounds and music to create an engaging ambiance. From the moment your group members join in, they are immersed in fun they can see and hear!
Our experienced host greets every player and ensures they feel comfortable throughout the event. They provide everyone with a stress-free and wildly entertaining time making new connections or engaging with old ones.
Technology can be easy for some, difficult for others. No worries! Our host talks your members through every tech step necessary once they join. If they're enjoying a hybrid or in-person event, we'll help you (the leader) get the Zoom call broadcasted on a TV at the in-person venue. Don't worry, it's not tough!
Every type of virtual, hybrid, or in-person entertainment is created with one main goal in mind --> Make it comfortable and easy for group members to truly connect through unique fun. It's what we love to do!

Our Story

In-person events from 2016-2020 | Virtual events since 2020 | Remotely hosted Hybrid and In-Person events since 2021

To begin with - We LOVE what we do! Here's how we found our passion.

Our fascination with social entertainment originated growing up in small towns with no fun nearby. It developed through college and 14 years of managing movie theaters & amusement parks.

As our work experience progressed to lead bigger businesses and live in larger cities, our passion increased with it! However, the more people we entertained and lived near, the less real connections we experienced. This led us to wonder if the power of entertainment could be used to effectively connect people through events that are comfortable, fun, AND social? Our enthusiastic solution was Switchboard Games!

Our name was created with old school Switchboard Operators in mind. Just like them, we are dedicated to "connecting" people. But instead of using cables and phones, we use fun and games!

In 2016, we began leading in-person events (with a host on-site) that were designed to encourage small group interactions. Various forms of themed entertainment were spread out at multiple stations. Each round saw friendly people switch stations and make new friends while enjoying different types of fun.

When social distancing became necessary in 2020, we pivoted to remotely hosting hybrid, in-person, and virtual events through video calls. It was exciting to see that our one-of-a-kind brand of game nights, trivia, social bingo, game shows, creative fun, & themed events work perfectly in these formats!

We're thrilled to bring people together when they need each other the most. What's more, we now have the ability to entertain/connect groups across the world and the experience needed to exceed expectations. Needless to say, we truly love what we do, the leaders we assist, and the people we connect along the way!
