Welcome Week is your university’s first impression. It’s also your students’ first chance to feel like they belong. So why waste it on free pizza and a sad DJ? Fall’s biggest campus moment deserves more. A lot more.
Think sky-high thrills, oversized challenges, and unexpected photo ops that make your campus the only place anyone wants to be.
Go Big or Go Home
If you’re going to kick off the year, kick it off from the top. The Mobile Zip Line delivers literal lift-off with a 200-foot ride and a view of campus they’ll never forget. For a twist on the descent, add the Giant Human Claw Machine—a larger-than-life activation where students are harnessed and dropped into a pit of prizes. Yes, it’s real. Yes, it’s a scene.
And for a strategic showdown that plays big on nostalgia, bring in Giant Guess Who. Students go head-to-head flipping faces and guessing traits on a massive scale. It’s familiar, competitive, and totally unexpected on a campus lawn.
Compete for Campus Glory
From future frat stars to first-year roommates, nothing bonds like friendly chaos. The Football Challenge and Speed Pitch let them flex school spirit with some seriously competitive flair. For a group spin, there’s Hungry Hungry Humans or Giant Battleship—an oversized strategy showdown where quick thinking and big moves win the day.
Keep Things Moving (and Shaking)
Ditch the typical field day lineup. This is kinetic chaos with campus-sized ambition. Roll into fun with Giant Hamster Ball Race, where students climb inside inflatable spheres and take off across the quad. Add Giant Pool Table for a supersized spin on a classic. And don’t miss the Spinning Vortex Tunnel—a visual illusion that warps perspective and turns every walk-through into share-worthy content.
Channel Some Controlled Chaos
Looking for a little edge? Start with the Mobile Axe Throwing Station, where precision meets adrenaline (safely, of course). For high-energy face-offs, the Dodgeball Arena brings the heat. Think: inflatable battlefield, quick reflexes, and the fastest way to make new friends—or rivals.
Make It Sweet (and Chill)
Once the action’s in full swing, offer a sugar-powered cooldown. The Automated Cotton Candy Art Machine crafts intricate cotton candy creations in real time—characters, shapes, the whole works. Want something cooler? Meet Robo Ice Cream, where a robot arm expertly swirls cones on demand. Delicious, efficient, and extremely camera-ready.
Leave With Something Personal
If you’re giving students a reason to show up, give them something to take back to their dorm. Robo Sketch turns selfies into robotic line-drawn portraits—personalized keepsakes that feel more like art than swag. Pair it with the AI Photo Booth, which transforms student snapshots into stylized digital creations—think comic book heroes, vintage yearbook portraits, or dreamy, otherworldly edits. Branded, creative, and dorm-wall-worthy.
Set the Tone for the Year Ahead
When Welcome Week sets the bar this high, students show up—for events, for each other, and for the community you’re building. With the right mix of bold, interactive experiences, your campus doesn’t just feel like a place to be. It feels like a place to belong.
Ready to plan something unforgettable? Let’s make this Welcome Week the one they’ll talk about until graduation.
