Who will win the office pumpkin carving contest?

Get ready to roll up your sleeves and unleash your inner artist in this festive pumpkin carving event. Guided by a master pumpkin sculptor, your team will learn expert carving tips before transforming ordinary pumpkins into spooky, silly, or spectacular creations.

We’ll bring everything you need—including carving tools, pumpkins, gourds, decorative vegetables, and aprons—so all you have to do is show up, get creative, and enjoy the fun. No shopping, no setup, and no stress.

This event is a Halloween favorite, but the fun doesn’t have to end in October. When pumpkins aren’t in season—or if your team would rather skip the stringy pumpkin guts—we can swap in incredibly realistic foam pumpkins that look and carve just like the real thing.

Whether you turn it into a pumpkin carving contest for the funniest face, the spookiest design, or simply bragging rights around the office, this hands-on experience gets everyone laughing, collaborating, and celebrating the season together.

Space requirement
  • resizer

    You’ll want a large indoor space with enough tables, chairs and trash cans to accommodate your group. 20-30 sq. ft per person is a good rule of thumb.

Tailoring
  • wrench
