Jessica Holmes’ 50th birthday called for a little friendly competition. For the KTLA 5 Morning News celebration, PartyWorks Interactive produced a custom branded game segment that put Team Jessica up against Team KTLA in a birthday relay packed with cheering, teamwork and plenty of laughs.
Balloon popping, giant Plinko and a giant-foot race brought different challenges to the celebration. Custom branding tied the games to Jessica’s birthday, turning familiar activities into a lineup made for her milestone.

Custom games with a personal touch
The celebration combined quick individual challenges with a race that depended on the whole team moving together:
- Balloon popping: A playful challenge brought an immediate burst of energy to the relay, with teammates cheering each other through their turns.
- Giant Plinko: A large, custom branded board brought the familiar drop-and-watch game into Jessica’s birthday lineup. Explore our Plinko board rentals for a starting point for your own celebration or activation.
- Giant-foot racing: Teammates had to coordinate their steps on shared oversized feet. Our Big Foot Races put communication and timing at the center of the competition.
The custom graphics made the games part of the birthday theme, while the mix of activities kept the relay moving from one challenge to the next. It was a chance for the Morning News team to celebrate Jessica by jumping into the fun together.
