Question 1

What is SHOOP Silent Disco?

Accepted Answer

A way of finding your dance — and renewing the energy in any room, whoever's in it. You wear wireless headphones instead of listening through speakers, and you choose your channel — three to pick from, switch whenever something else calls you. The LED on your headphones lights up to show which one you're on. Find what works, stay with it, or follow it somewhere else.

Question 2

Is it actually silent?

Accepted Answer

Only to anyone not wearing headphones. Inside it's a full party — outside, just talking, laughing, and occasionally some interesting singing. It's why it works anywhere, any time — noise-restricted venues, office spaces, gardens, late at night.

Question 3

How is SHOOP different from a regular disco — or a regular silent disco?

Accepted Answer

No loudspeakers, no single shared playlist unless you want one, and no performance either. It's just you and the music — and dancing is just being human, nothing stranger than that. Look around, though, and it catches. One person finds their dance, then another, and somewhere in the room it stops being separate and just doesn't stop.

Question 4

Are the headphones Bluetooth?

Accepted Answer

No — they connect only to our transmitters, not to phones or other devices directly. This uses radio frequency (RF), which is more stable than Bluetooth over distance and doesn't need Wi-Fi or a data connection to work. Real sound quality matters more than people expect — it's a lot easier to let go when the music actually sounds good.

Question 5

Does it change energy, or is that just a nice way of saying "fun"?

Accepted Answer

Both, honestly. The mood in the room — tired versus alert, guarded versus open — shifts fast once people are moving. It's not about forcing enthusiasm. It's momentum you can actually feel, and it tends to carry past the session itself.

Question 6

Do I need to be a good dancer?

Accepted Answer

No. There's nothing to get wrong. Put the headphones on and follow whatever feels right.

Question 7

Is it awkward?

Accepted Answer

For about thirty seconds, maybe. Then it's just you, the music and your moves.

Question 8

What if I don't want to dance?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to. Most people find themselves moving without realising it — it's not always about the big moves.

Question 9

Do the headphones work with hearing aids?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they work well with most hearing aids, including behind-the-ear styles. The padded cushions sit comfortably over them, and volume is fully adjustable.

Question 10

What are the hire options?

Accepted Answer

Little Box — 50 headphones, from RM884 Big Box — 100 headphones, from RM1196 Bespoke — need something different? Get in touch.

Question 11

What's included?

Accepted Answer

Headphones, transmitters, all cables and device adapters, curated Spotify playlists ready to go, plus guidelines and ideas. Loaded playlist tablets are available on request for an extra cost.

Question 12

Do I need to provide anything?

Accepted Answer

Just a music source — phone, laptop, tablet, or DJ controller. One device per transmitter. This is dry hire: the equipment's yours to run, no DJ included.

Question 13

Do we need mains power?

Accepted Answer

No — headphones and transmitters arrive fully charged.

Question 14

How far do the headphones work?

Accepted Answer

Up to 500m.

Question 15

How long does the battery last?

Accepted Answer

Over 10 hours, and they arrive fully charged.

Question 16

Are the headphones cleaned before hire?

Accepted Answer

Yes, cleaned between every hire. Happy for you to spray them down again on arrival — standard antibacterial spray is fine on the ear cushions and headband.

Question 17

Delivery and collection?

Accepted Answer

Delivered 1–3 days before your event, collected the day after.

Question 18

What's the notice period?

Accepted Answer

7 days for Silent Disco Hire.

Question 19

Why non-verbal?

Accepted Answer

No talking sounds like a small thing, but it changes everything. Without words, you can't posture, over-explain, or say the "safe" thing — you just move, and other people react to how you move. That's a different kind of honesty. Teams often find out more about how they actually work together in an hour of not talking than in a year of meetings.

Question 20

Does it really change how a team works together?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and not in a way you'd expect from a talking exercise. When a group moves together without words, they have to find their own rhythm with each other — no one directing, no one explaining. That's alignment, trust, and focus, felt rather than discussed. People leave with a shared sense of what it feels like to actually be in sync — and that's hard to un-feel back at your desk.

Question 21

What do people actually get out of it?

Accepted Answer

Every team's different, but the same things come up again and again: more trust, sharper focus, real alignment, and a jolt of motivation that a meeting just can't produce. It's not about learning a technique. It's about spending an hour working together in a completely different way — and noticing what that unlocks.

Question 22

What's the minimum group size?

Accepted Answer

From 10 people up to 100+.

Question 23

What do we need to provide for the venue?

Accepted Answer

Plenty of clear space to move, no tables, seating available for everyone, and water on hand. Air conditioning helps, or early morning/evening outdoors works well. We bring our own lighting — a room that can dim helps set the mood.

Question 24

What's the minimum group size?

Accepted Answer

From 10 people up to 100+.

Question 25

What do we need to provide for the venue?

Accepted Answer

Plenty of clear space to move, no tables, seating available for everyone, and water on hand. Air conditioning helps, or early morning/evening outdoors works well. We bring our own lighting — a room that can dim helps set the mood.
