What’s powering the Competitive Socializing boom? And where is it headed next?
If you’ve been watching the rise of Competitive Socializing over the past few years — from Flight Club’s tech-driven darts to the immersive party world of Hijingo — you’ve likely had the same thought we have at the WXO:
🧨 This isn’t just a trend. It’s a transformation.
Somone who agrees is Kevin Williams — a true pioneer in the out-of-home entertainment space and the force behind The Stinger Report.
Kevin joined WXO members for an online Campfire where he discussed what’s powering the Competitive Socialising boom, and where it’s headed next.
Kevin didn’t just explain what’s happening — he detailed what you might’ve missed. From pub game nostalgia to AI-enhanced repeatability, his insights are designed to open the door to opportunity.
Whether you’re a designer, tech lead, investor or researching how to rejuvenate a format venue, this Campfire delivered valuable insights into the trends and innovations shaping the future of social entertainment!
We’ve created a Campfire Report based on Kevin’s talk. Free to download, it’s packed with actionable insights, tips and advice straight from Kevin along with a full transcript of the session.
