Could we please start by you providing a quick overview of Quorporate Games?
We're still crazy about croquet, but now we're passionate about petanque, and quoit mad.

Isn't it a little quirky to focus just on games spelt with qu?
No, not really, my young squire, though I do see what you did there with your question.
Qu

Is it true that although it has the letter q and u in it, you don't like the word queue?
We're quite clear most people want to start an activity quickly rather than watch others...

How do you run your games?
​
​
​
Croquet and petanque on a fully-coached basis; and in combination with those two, for self-play quoits and see below...

Any new developments at QG?
​
Yes, we now offer our own QG version of US Cornhole - and no prizes for guessing what we call it!

What about indoor back-up?
If this is agreed beforehand and we're given enough suitable indoor space, quoits replaces croquet; we have some soft boules; and if there's enough ceiling clearance, our quornhole boards can be used indoors.

Have you been reported to the professional associations for making the games more fun than they're supposed to be?
​
Not yet, but I like the question...
Qu

Last question: are the rumours true that you are working on your own version of Quidditch?
​
No, we're not quite that clever.
Supplementary question: even though it's not spelt with a q or a u, I see a flamingo: what's that about?
Not quite a flamingo, more of a flamingo costume: adding that quintessential element to an Alice in Wonderland party, or if you request or require a bit of social media fun!
