Holiday Party at Times Publishing Company
The holiday party everyone actually shows up to.
Times Publishing Company is already booking its December slots — and the question every HR team faces is how to make this year's holiday party different from last year's. A full-motion racing simulator inside Times Publishing Company's event space in St. Petersburg does exactly that: gives every guest something fun to actually do, keeps the room energized through cocktail hour and dinner, and produces the kind of photos that fill the internal newsletter for weeks.

An activity that works for every guest — no awkward dance floors or forced icebreakers.
Reason 2

How this event plays at Times Publishing Company
Corporate holiday parties at Times Publishing Company share a common problem: the first hour is awkward, the second is dinner, and the third is whoever's still around dancing to 2014 pop hits. SimsForHire solves the activity gap with a professional racing setup positioned as the entertainment hub. Guests drift in and out of the simulator throughout the night, leaderboards update in real time, and by dessert everyone's arguing over whose boss actually has a fastest lap worth bragging about. We bring the equipment, run the experience, and strike everything down before the close of event — your team at Times Publishing Company focuses on hosting while we focus on making the evening memorable.
