This is definitely an interesting form of entertainment to have at your next event. Combine the return of the 80’s favorite toy, Rubik’s Cube, with the desire to see art created before one’s eyes, and you’ll get the perfect add-on to your next event!

Events should be about engagement, participation, and discussion, not just information - and in some cases, there should also be an element of fun! With a Catchbox , all of those elements are considered, and it's as easy as throwing a box.

A Catchbox is what it sounds like - a box that you catch, which also has a microphone inside.

Because throwing a box is easier than passing a handheld microphone; questions, comments, and discussions become more spontaneous and can occur throughout a presentation or lecture, not just at the end.

While it's important to be sensitive to your audience and surroundings with a Catchbox, you may find it's a perfect compliment to your next event. Maybe steer clear of a room with low hanging chandeliers or a museum venue if you're considering a Catchbox, however.

To book a Catchbox for your next event, call Event Resources! We can even brand it with your logo or other text!

“Lee and his team were extremely easy to work with. When I needed a question answered, Lee was right on it and provided great advice that was based on his many years of experience and success. Hiring Event Resources was one of the best things we did!”

#WeCommit
Former Air Force Staff Sergeant, DJ Leal commits to each event with a proactive approach. He knows that a pack needs to be checked and re-checked prior to a job. He knows that if something is missing off the pack, it will also be missing off the truck, and subsequently missing from the job. DJ's proactive approach is efficient and effective... also very much appreciated. His method of quality checking may come off as rigid, but it's a necessary step in the quality control process.
