The Fun Ones enhances convivial gatherings such as birthdays, company picnics, and school carnivals with meticulously kept party attractions. A Pac-Man arcade machine ($295) allows guests to control a fun-loving yellow dot, whose existence, like all humans’, is defined solely by an insatiable hunger and fear of ghosts. Meanwhile, obstacle courses such as a 52-foot gauntlet ($595) cushion frenetic racing, as does an 18-foot giant slide ($450). Guests can rectify any party-time confusion using a 24-hour emergency support line available for clarification and reassurance that everyone loves your spinach-artichoke dip.

A four-hour photo-booth rental nabs unlimited black and white or color portraits of festive party-goings for in-print display and electronic flash-drive storage. Photo-booth rentals come with an array of props to dress down tuxes or dress up postal-service uniforms.

Pricing is based on four hours of rental, except for inflatables where no supervision is needed, which can be rented for eight hours.
