As the school year drew to a close, Illinois State University (ISU) was looking to send off their students with an event that was larger than life. The goal was clear: create a memorable experience that not only celebrated the accomplishments of the year but also provided a massive dose of fun. That’s where Interactive Entertainment Group stepped in, transforming the usual end-of-year festivities into an extraordinary event with our arsenal of giant games. Here’s how we super-sized the fun and made the event unforgettable.
We kicked off the event with the childhood classic reimagined—Giant Legos. As students walked into the venue, they were greeted by a sea of oversized Lego blocks. It wasn’t just about the nostalgia; these massive building blocks became a tool for students to collaborate, compete, and create towering structures. By scaling up the size, we scaled up the interaction, facilitating new friendships and teamwork among attendees. The visual spectacle of colorful giant Legos also provided the perfect backdrop for social media snaps, instantly elevating ISU’s social media engagement.
The intellectual challenge of chess was magnified with our Giant Chess set. Each large piece demanded strategic thinking and physical movement, turning the game into a dynamic group activity. This larger-than-life approach to the classic game drew spectators and players alike, creating an engaging environment that highlighted the students’ tactical skills in a visually dramatic way.
Not far from the chessboard, the Giant Checkers brought another layer of strategic fun. This game transformed simple moves into major moments, as students jumped over giant checkers in their quest to reach the other side. The oversized playing pieces and board turned each game into a lively, interactive spectacle that everyone wanted to be part of.
Taking a digital turn, the Giant Pac Man Battle offered a four-player arcade-style challenge. Each player controlled a Pac-Man on a large, shared screen, competing to devour the most dots and avoid being caught by the iconic ghosts. This game was all about quick reactions and high spirits, proving that modern entertainment could seamlessly blend with nostalgic themes to create a high-energy, engaging experience.
The Giant Bubble Gum Machine provided a whimsical twist without towering over the crowd. Its presence was significant, dispensing novelty-sized bubble gum and adding a playful element to the event. It was a simple yet effective way to sprinkle a bit of sweetness throughout the day, much to the delight of the students.
