Chinese New Year Office Party Ideas in Singapore

Activity and rental planning guide for Chinese New Year office events in Singapore, with verified 2027 public holiday dates, three programme formats and a catalogue options table.

When is Chinese New Year 2027?

Chinese New Year falls on Saturday 6 February 2027 and Sunday 7 February 2027. Monday 8 February 2027 is also a public holiday. (Source: MOM 2027 public holidays.)

Decide whether your event runs before the holiday or after colleagues return, then confirm your company schedule and the venue date before requesting a quotation. The public holiday calendar does not establish supplier availability or opening hours.

Three programme formats to consider

The right format depends on headcount, venue and organising time. These are planning examples, not sold BounceParkSG packages, guaranteed capacity or past-event records.

Organiser-led office gathering

A lunchtime or late-afternoon session in the office pantry, meeting room or common area. The organiser arranges food (a lo hei platter, festive snacks) and runs one or two simple games. Minimal rental equipment needed. Choose the guest count and layout around the actual room, access and selected equipment. Consider adding a single rental station such as a photo booth or claw machine if the budget and space allow it.

Reception or drop-in activity area

An organiser-chosen window where colleagues visit activity stations at their own pace. Check whether the function room, lobby or open area permits the selected activities and has the required space and power. Rental options include carnival game booths, a photo booth and food stations. Plan the number of stations and the queue layout around your expected headcount. Confirm operating arrangements and any staffing required for each selected item.

Larger staff and family programme

A half-day event in a ballroom, outdoor space or community area where children also attend. This format combines inflatables, a magic show, craft activities and food stations alongside the festive elements. It requires more venue space, power and coordination with the venue's setup and collection windows. See the corporate family day guide for the activity-planning approach; the same principles apply to a CNY family event.

Matching your programme to the catalogue

Use this table to connect what you are planning to actual rental options. Each link opens the catalogue page with item details and dimensions. Confirm availability, inclusions and suitability in your quotation.

Organiser-run CNY game ideas

These are activities your own team can run without a vendor. They work as icebreakers or short filler segments alongside rented activities.

  • Mandarin orange stacking: Stack mandarin oranges into a pyramid within 60 seconds. The tallest standing tower wins. All you need is a flat table and a box of oranges.
  • Chopstick relay: Teams transfer peanuts or sweets from one bowl to another using chopsticks. First team to empty their bowl wins.
  • CNY trivia quiz: A short round of questions about zodiac animals, traditions and greetings, hosted by the organiser or a colleague.

These are original game suggestions, not BounceParkSG supplied services or activities.

Preparing your event enquiry

Before requesting a quotation, gather these details. For a full venue checklist, see the venue preparation guide.

  • Event date, start and end times, and the venue's permitted setup and collection windows
  • Indoor or outdoor venue, available floor area, ceiling height, power points and access route
  • Expected headcount and whether children will attend
  • Which programme elements you want rented and which the organiser will handle
  • Menu selection, headcount for food service and any dietary requirements
  • Whether you need furniture, tentage or AV equipment alongside activities

Use the event enquiry builder to draft your WhatsApp message with these details, or send your shortlist directly to the team for a quotation.

Questions before you plan

Does BounceParkSG sell a separate Chinese New Year event package?

A separate CNY package is not listed on the current website. Use the linked catalogue pages to shortlist options, then ask the team to confirm availability, scope and a quotation for your date and venue.

Can balloon decorations be themed for Chinese New Year?

The balloon decoration gallery includes festive balloon sculptures such as the God of Fortune design. Ask the team whether themed colours and designs are available for your event date. Confirm the design scope in your quotation.

When should I send my CNY event enquiry?

As early as possible once your date and venue are confirmed. Chinese New Year falls on a fixed calendar date and venues may have their own booking schedules. Send your event date, headcount and item shortlist so availability can be checked.
