Why offer board games in a hotel?

Board games are more than just entertainment — they become a real asset for your establishment.

  • Enhance the guest experience: your guests enjoy a more pleasant stay and leave with lasting memories.
  • Make waiting time enjoyable: when guests need to wait, games provide a simple and entertaining activity. This can be especially useful while they are waiting to receive their room keys.
  • Encourage social interaction: in shared spaces or private rooms, games create connection and foster a friendly atmosphere.
  • Add an easy extra service: offering board games is an additional amenity you can provide to your guests.

By equipping your hotel with board games, you offer a simple and ludic solution that enriches your visitors’ stay.

How to offer board games in a hotel?

Simply placing board games on a shelf does not guarantee they will be used. Without guidance, this investment can quickly lose its value and gather dust. It’s a bit like leaving a musical instrument in a room without any instructions: the equipment is there, but no one knows how to use it — so it remains untouched.

With our Dabou packs, everything is optimized to make games easy and accessible. Your guests have everything they need to start playing quickly and fully enjoy the experience without frustration.

The main challenges hotels face

Making board games available to guests may seem simple. I buy the games, put them out, and that’s it… but several obstacles often arise (don’t worry — we have the solution below):

  • Rules explanation and facilitation: you may not always have someone available to explain the rules and guide players. Ideally, you need an autonomous solution that allows guests to discover the rules through video explanations.
  • Language accessibility: it is not always easy to find games playable in French, Dutch, and English for all your guests. Buying each game in multiple languages can also become expensive and take up too much space.
  • Incomplete or fragile games: let’s face it — guests are not always careful. As soon as pieces are missing or damaged, games can quickly become unusable. Ideally, you need games where a missing component is not a major issue.
  • Selection, purchasing, and preparation: choosing the right games, buying them, unpacking them and making them immediately ready to play requires time and organization. The ideal solution is to have everything delivered ready-to-use, without spending hours sorting or preparing games for your guests.

With Dabou, all these concerns are solved: our board game packs are multilingual, ready-to-use and delivered with everything your guests need to start playing quickly and easily.
