Find a way to make players or guests comfortable. For that you can put at your disposal comfortable chairs and cushions. Innovate in the organization of objects.

You can also experiment with the colors of drinks and food, or with cutlery and glasses. Always try to be original and give your guests the best possible experience at your video game party.
Video game party dynamics
Use a timer if you need to get guests in and out of game sessions, and keep in mind the enjoyment of the spectators by having other games on hand, in case people get bored waiting for their turn.
