Host a glowing bash for your workmates with these vibrant party games

By

Okay, planning a memorable party for workmates is not without its stressors. Office politics and interpersonal conflicts can make a social gathering outside the office awkward and possibly even tense. So, bypass trying to impress with elegant hors d’oeuvres and innovative cocktails, and take a more lighthearted approach. Host a casual gathering that includes office mates, their partners, and maybe even their kids, and create a relaxing, fun-filled night for both your guests and you.

Nothing breaks the ice (and evens the playing field) like loosening up with lively, but pressure-free, party games. We’ve rounded up 5 favorites, each made specifically to illuminate the night with their neon-like glow.

This youth-sized football features a LED light source that yields up to 30 hours of glow-in-the-dark fun. The football’s interior illumination activates with a quick tap, and goes dark automatically, when not in use. A sturdy, water-resistant exterior, and grommets that keep the light source in place, add up to hours of evening entertainment. Pre-installed batteries are included, so just inflate, tap, and play into the night.

Add a magical touch to birthday parties, Halloween, or ordinary play dates with this neon paint set that glows vibrantly in the dark—or in daylight. These glow paints work on wood, plastic, metal, or canvas, and feature eight colors: red, orange, green, yellow, blue, purple, pink and white. At night, shine a UV light on the finished art work, and watch it brilliantly come to life.

Three AAA batteries provide LED hoop lighting that turns any evening gathering into a brilliant game night. A single strand of lights illuminates the entire basket rim, and is easily fastened with (included) high-quality tape. The accompanying LED-powered basketball comes with pre-installed batteries that light up the ball upon impact, and go dark when it’s not in use.

Host a dance party for both adults and kids, and let the Glowcity LED Hoola Hoop take center stage. The irresistible swiveling fun of hula hoops are given a glowing spin with the 36-inch GlowCity hoop, powered by evenly spaced LEDs. More vibrant than standard hoops, the GlowCity Hoola Hoop’s low-profile battery casing and easy switch mechanism makes it the perfect circle for endless nighttime fun.

2 LED lights that yield 30 hours of evening play makes this illuminating volleyball a must-have for memorable beach parties.
