So, you’ve spent months, perhaps years, working hard on your brand spanking new product and you’re dying to unleash it onto an unsuspecting public. You’ve drawn up the designs, built the thing, obtained patents and finally, finally, you are ready to launch it! Such an occasion demands a party of truly epic proportions. Budget, of course, is always a factor in determining just how epic, but what if money was no object whatsoever? What if you had a bottomless pit full of cash that could only be used for your launch party, and nothing else? What if you could defy conventional logic, even the very fabric of time and space? Read on for our top five most utterly outlandish party imaginations plus corresponding product and be inspired!

Back To The Future (a new mobile phone)

“What did we do before mobile phones were invented?” It is a commonly asked question yet after two decades’ worth of reliance on our trusty mobile talk boxes, they are a now daily commodity that the majority of the globe’s population takes for granted. Recreate a world without on-the-go communication with the Doc, Marty and Einstein! Hop inside the Delorean and head back to 1963, a year before the mobile car phone became public knowledge, where the party game involves splitting off into groups and handing out your state-of-the-art, 2010, about-to-be-launched mobile to members of the population. Regroup and head back to the exact point in time you left behind and enjoy the rest of the launch party, the product you were originally launching now rendered obsolete since several hundred futuristic party goers arrived to distribute it to members of the public nearly 50 years ago. Just imagine what technologically advanced gizmo you’ll be launching instead!

Moonraker (a tourist-carrying spaceship)

As public spaceflight slowly becomes a more tangible prospect, inventors the world over (most notably Richard Branson) are vying to develop the first craft in which to take members of the general population out of Earth’s gravitational force field and into the vast expanse of space. The good news is that you’ve pipped your competitors to the post and are about to launch your own version, a craft that can carry up to 100 passengers to the moon in the same time it takes to fly across the Atlantic. What better way to unleash the new product than with an actual launch!

Departing at noon, the shuttle will cruise to the moon whilst guests enjoy weightless afternoon tea and the shuttle’s resident live band, Zero Gee. Guests will have the opportunity to stroll across the moon’s surface and admire the majesty of the new spacecraft in its natural environment, before returning back to Earth whilst enjoying a three course meal and party games including Space Ping Pong.

Members of the public will be gathered on the tarmac to enjoy their part of the launch party, seeing the shuttle for the very first time as it touches down at a closed Heathrow airport, thousands of men, women and children there to celebrate the beginning of a new era.

The Golden Ticket (new chocolate bar)

As a major confectionary corporation, you are well accustomed to launching new products onto a sweet-toothed market, but your latest creation represents a ground-breaking development in the chocolate world; a calorie-free chocolate bar.
You, along with the lucky winners of the company ‘Golden Ticket’ competition, will make your way to the Wonka Factory, to be greeted at the gates by Willy himself, before being taken into the factory where your invention flows in abundant liquid form from fountains and into thick chocolate lakes. Unlike Augustus Gloop, guests can help themselves to giant bowls of the rich molten chocolate without risk of falling into the murky depths. Enjoy chocolate canapés and fizzy chocolate champagne, ice-chilled, delicious and calorie free!

Wander round the factory with Wonka as your eccentric guide, sampling the delights of the never-ending bubble gum along the way.

Have the Oompa-Loompas sing a song for you, with lyrics altered to reflect your wonderful new chocolate bar.
At the end of the party, lucky guests will be able to take home a lifetime’s supply of calorie-free chocolate, the ultimate prize!

Under The Sea (a new brand of bottled water)

There is only one place imaginable for the grand unveiling of your new and improved bottled water; under the sea! That’s right, for one night only you and your guests will get to do something that hasn’t been done in nearly a century. Tonight, you shall dine and party on the deck of the Titanic, freshly restored to its original glamour and class for one evening only, a protective glass dome covering the ship to keep out the cold.

After donning your black ties, elegant dresses and pearls, step onboard our luxury sub that will slowly carry you into the icy depths. Enjoy champagne and seafood canapés on the voyage to the bottom of the Atlantic. Upon arrival make your way onto the newly restored, warmed and bone-dry deck and explore the 1st class dining room, state rooms and gymnasium. Have your product presentation at the bow of the ship, before making your way inside to enjoy the same 10 course menu plus coffee, cigars and port savoured by 1st class guests onboard the ship on its final evening.

There’s plenty of time for blackjack in the smoking room and even a final drink on deck before boarding the sub and making your way back to the surface. A truly once in a lifetime evening.

They Think It’s All Over (goal-seeking football boots)

The time has come for the vast gulf in skill between Sunday League players and Premier League superstars to be radically eroded overnight. You are ready to unleash your groundbreaking goal-seeking football boots onto the sporting world, boots that will not be permitted in the upper echelons of world football but will be available for the general public. As long as the wearer is facing goalwards and shoots, the ball will zip towards the target automatically. The only thing standing in your way of hat-tricks galore is the goalkeeper and even a world-class stopper will struggle to cope with the pace your magical boots have just generated onto the ball!

For the launch, you and your company team have gathered at a packed Wembley Stadium to face a specially selected World XI. The likes of Rooney, Ronaldo and Messi line-up on the turf as you don your magic boots, images of which are projected onto the huge screens around the stadium, to wild cheers from the sell-out crowd.

As long as you can get hold of the ball, which proves difficult at first, you let fly towards goal and it rips past Casillas, smashing into the back of the net to the roar of the fans.

With the final score reading 10-2 in your favour, you head up to the royal box to unveil a solid gold representation of the boot in front of the gathered thousands. Cap off a wonderful evening with champagne from glass boots, a ten course meal to celebrate each goal scored and free boots distributed to all 90,000 fans. Now everyone’s a winner!
