At SPIN, we started the original ping pong social club about 15 years ago, beginning with our flagship location in New York City.

Team Building Activities in Boston at SPIN

SPIN Boston, in the Seaport, has 20 ping pong tables and a full bar and kitchen, so coworkers can play and eat in one place. The SPIN team building page covers every SPIN venue.

SPIN Pros lead social play for every level. Teammates who want a break from ping pong can try tabletop shuffleboard or giant Jenga. You can book a private event of any size, up to a full buyout, through the SPIN Boston private events page.

SPIN Pros lead competitions, tournaments, and social play so that players of every skill level stay involved. For your corporate group, you could play doubles with partners from different departments or split a tournament bracket by team.

Teammates who step away from the tables can play giant Connect 4, giant Jenga, Atari Pong, or tabletop shuffleboard. Guests who don’t play can catch sports on SPIN’s screens. SPIN events can also include house DJs, photo booths, and interactive installations, and you could take a team photo at a photo booth.

Spaces and Layouts for Boston Corporate Groups

SPIN Boston provides flexible table configurations, including standard 14-table and 20-table setups along with custom layouts for large groups. When arranging team building activities for large groups, you can reserve a private room with a dedicated bar or book private lounges for parties. SPIN Boston also has a signature bathtub filled with ping pong balls.

You can book your event day or night, and SPIN can host it outside normal operating hours. SPIN events can include an audio/visual system for presentations or music, so you could open with a short presentation, then play. Flexible floorplans accommodate groups of any size, from an intimate team off-site to a full-company takeover.

Company Branding and Event Upgrades

You can customize your event space with company branding across paddles, balls, and table decals featuring your logo and company message. At a client event, guests play with paddles and balls that carry your logo.

SPIN also offers creative upgrades, including a surprise DJ, branded paddles, and a pro exhibition match in the middle of the event.

Food and Drinks from the Scratch Kitchen

Executive chefs cater SPIN events on site from a scratch kitchen of shareable, snackable plates, so you do not need a separate caterer.

Full-service bars pour craft cocktails, premium spirits, and other drinks.

Menus label avoids-gluten, vegan, and vegetarian items. The kitchen uses dairy, eggs, wheat, soy, nuts, fish, and shellfish, so guests should tell the party planners about allergies.
