Tips to Maximize Event Engagement

When it comes to throwing a memorable event, keeping your guests engaged is everything. Luckily, StarBase is full of ways to make your event interactive and unforgettable. From high-tech audiovisual experiences to themed rooms, specialty acts, and interactive dining, the possibilities are endless.

Explore Interactive AV Experiences

StarBase is packed with audiovisual technology that can transform any event into an immersive environment. Motion graphics can light up our TVs and projectors with stunning visuals, creating instant wow moments. Think of it as a digital art exhibit.

Leverage our projectors and transform the environment by turning walls and floors into responsive, immersive surfaces. Guests can activate visuals with movement, trigger animations, or watch patterns shift beneath their footsteps. From playful interactive moments to branded engagements, these projections invite exploration and make every corner of the venue feel dynamic and alive.

For a truly immersive touch, video projection mapping, also called 3D projection mapping, can turn any surface into a dynamic display that perfectly fits its shape. These tools do more than look amazing, they encourage guests to explore, provide photo opportunities, and set the perfect tone for more engagement.

Turn Food and Drinks into an Experience

Food and drinks at StarBase go far beyond simple refreshments. They become part of the entertainment and a major driver of guest engagement. Over the years, FWR Rental Haus has crafted several interactive dining pieces that StarBase has featured at events, with two standout favorites being the champagne wall and the custom conveyor belt table. These builds instantly elevate food and beverage service.

‍

Beyond the pieces created by FWR, StarBase has also featured additional interactive dining options that guests love, including sushi robots, from Fortune Events, preparing rolls in real time, donut flambé stations offering a dramatic sweet finish, and strolling champagne service outfitted onto a custom dress. Together, these food and bar activations spark conversation, elevate the atmosphere, and create unforgettable moments that guests remember long after the event ends.

Bring in Specialty Acts

Music and DJs are great, but specialty performers can make your event unforgettable. StarBase has hosted everything from aerialists to roaming actors, who interact with guests as Santa’s helpers, themed characters, contortionists, and surprise performances. Roaming musicians and live acoustic sets can move through the crowd, creating unique, spontaneous moments. You can even add magicians, fire performers, living red carpets, calligraphers, caricaturists, or stilt walkers to surprise your guests. Specialty acts keep the energy high and make the experience interactive and memorable.

Activate StarBase’s Themed Rooms

StarBase features eight themed rooms, each of which can become a unique activity space. In the past, we’ve hosted:

• Black Hole, which featured a tarot reader to set a mystical mood
• Cosmic Cowboy, which welcomed Santa for holiday-themed events
• Digital Saloon (formerly called as NFT Gallery), which was transformed into a permanent tattoo studio

These rooms, along with the others throughout the venue, are always photo-op ready and offer built-in interactivity, giving guests a chance to explore and engage throughout the venue.

Use Interactive Furniture and Onsite Tech

Even without adding extra activations, StarBase already comes equipped with plenty of built-in features that keep guests engaged. Visitors can relax and interact with unique pieces like the moon sofa, saddle barstools, and the iconic automobile sofa, each offering fun photo-ready moments. The Lux Kiosk Photo Booth from Pop Up Photo Op captures candid memories throughout the night, while our projectors can display movies, highlight reels, or live feeds to keep everyone entertained.

StarBase also includes games including oversized Jenga, Tic-Tac-Toe table, foosball and shuffleboard, giving guests even more ways to connect and have fun. And if you have your own creative game ideas, the venue’s flexible layout makes it possible to bring those concepts to life, whether they require a spacious setup or a smaller, more intimate corner.
