What BoomPop does, and where KraftyLab fits

BoomPop plans corporate gatherings: offsites and retreats, client events, conferences, sales kickoffs and incentive trips. Its platform is free to start: you describe the event, its AI drafts an itinerary, and hotels, venues, restaurants and activity providers send bids. A full-service team can run the planning for you. Its site says BoomPop has joined Navan, which integrated BoomPop into its meetings and events product in February 2026.

KraftyLab is not a planning tool. You book the event: a hosted game, a workshop with a kit shipped to every guest, or a host in your office, each with a live price for your headcount. There is no brief to write and no bids to compare, so a team lead can book a good event for this month in a few minutes.

A team event this month, without a planning project

What booking a KraftyLab event looks like from start to finish.

  • Pick the event: a Family Feud-style game show, hosted trivia or a kit workshop, each page with the total for your headcount.
  • Reserve it: pay a 50% deposit online, or ask for a free quote and get a full plan within 24 hours. Card, invoice and PO all work.
  • Lead time: hosted games book about two weeks ahead and kit workshops about three. With guests in Canada or abroad, book a kit workshop about five weeks out.
  • Event day: most games and workshops run about 60 minutes, with a live host, on Zoom by default or on Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex on request.

Holiday parties: in the office, online or both

When the team is in one place, a host comes to your office in 17 US cities for Feud Night and other in-person events, with setup and cleanup included. When it is spread out, a virtual holiday party puts everyone on one call with a host, or a gingerbread house class ships a kit to each home.

For a kit workshop on Friday, December 11, 2026, book by Friday, November 20. A hosted game for the same day books by Friday, November 27.

Already planning an offsite?

Put a hosted event on the agenda. A KraftyLab game or workshop gives the group one shared hour, with the host, the materials and the run of show handled by us. For a whole company at once, a multi-event program runs several activities side by side, and corporate gifts ship to every address afterward.
