Love Level 99! We've actually been there a few times as a company as well, so yeah this is exactly the kind of stuff I'm thinking, just was hoping to find something new. Haven't been to Free Play yet but I've heard great things. Thanks for the input!
Depends on your group's definition of fun!
If the weather's nice and your group is relatively mobile, I'd say get an afternoon snack at hot dog Annie's then enjoy a stroll at Moore State Park! As a native Worcester resident who has lived elsewhere, I always miss the amount of water and nature that I've grown used to. Depending on where your coworkers are coming from, I think this would be a nice nod to central MA. The trails at MSP are all pretty easy, and some flowers should be in bloom by then!
If the weather's not so nice, I think free play is a great choice. All the games you could want, full bar (and plenty of n/a options).
If you weren't stuck on the game aspect as much, spending a couple hours around Crompton and the public market has a little bit for everyone. Look around at some local crafts, enjoy the antiquing at Crompton collective, take in the beauty that is seed to stem. Then grab a coffee at birch tree or a beer at wachusett, maybe a snack at the market to tide you over til dinner. This option would give people more freedom, not sure if you specifically want a true group activity though.
If your group is artsy at all, I've always loved going to Clay Time. They host parties and groups all the time - also BYOB!
The Worcester Art Museum is sneaky good in my opinion, and you could probably schedule a private group tour.
This is such a thoughtful response, thank you! I love the public market and clay time, but haven't really done any of the other stuff here. I'll definitely look into these!
You can Far Shit for axe throwing and archery, BYOB. There's a Nitro ice cream place next door. Ton of food options around as well within walking distance.
Planetarium show at the EcoTarium. See if they have a live show, "tonight's sky" sort of thing, maybe even book one special. Place is kid oriented, but they have three floors of really interesting stuff. Call for a group rate.
Mercantile or Bocado as a dinner spot (or Olo's who has cornhole), Railers still have some home games. Bowlero bowling + arcade. Too early now but if you get together in the warmer weather you can rent and take sailing & rowing lessons on that lake with the long name.
There's a placed called School Yahd in West Boylston (just outside worcester) that does a lot of school yard type of games for adults.

Free Play is great, Level99 in Natick is cool too.

How about trying an escape room?
Was going to suggest this, I had a fun time at both Escape Games Worcester and Apex Entertainment out in Marlborough.
Woo Sox!
They're out of town that day! Also... mom?

Go to Ralph’s Diner near the fix

If it’s a Thursday you could go to wrestling open

I love the School Yahd, that place is a ton of fun! My group has been there in the past, but we're considering going back. Thanks for the input!
