Google notes the possibility of winning prizes — mostly like a Home Mini — and the ability to demo products. This isn’t the first time that Google has shown off its products at a pop-up event. Last year, the company set up a pop-up donut shop, where guests could step in, get some donuts, and ask the Google Home Mini a question. Google also launched two other pop-up events after its annual October events in 2016 and 2017, showcasing the variety of new products it launched including the Google Pixel, Pixel 2, Pixel Buds, Pixelbook, and more. In a bid to raise awareness for its smart home products, Google has kicked off a pop-up event in New York City that shows off the best features of the Google Home Mini and the Google Home Max smart speakers. This pop-up is a little different than others you may have seen.
Google Home Mini Golf
Made for families and summer fun, the course features different rooms in a house and related Google Home Family products. To overcome obstacles at each hole—like turning on lights, asking for a recipe or starting a dance party—you can solicit the help of Google Home products by saying “Hey Google.” The rest is up to the power of your putting. There are two mini-golf sections that wind through the event space. At the first station, I was told to imagine that it’s dinner time and time for the children to tidy up and get ready for dinner. I said “Hey Google, broadcast it’s dinner time.”The Google voice then announced diner time, and I then hit the golf ball.
Nothing says summer like a round of mini-golf and honing your putt-putt game is even better when it comes cost-free—so we're pretty excited about the Google Mini Golf pop-up now open in NYC'sWest Village. Following the launch of the Google Home Mini in October, the company held pop-up events in various cities across the country. Visiting these “Donut Shops” offered the chance of winning the smart speaker or a pastry.

Once you reach the end of the course, you can tally up the score with your group to see who’s the winner. Everyone will get a chance to win either a Google Home Max, a Google Home Mini, or a pair of Google-branded golf socks. Treats are also available if you have a sweet tooth. Guests will have a chance to win prizes at each location, and there will be photo opps too. Open to the public from Wednesday, May 30-Monday, June 4, the free experience is admittedly a promo for the popular Google Home products, from the Google Home Mini to the Google Home Max. It comes on the heels of other Google-branded pop-ups, like last summer's Donut Shop or the winter's Holiday Pop-up.

Crafts for Kids
Golfers drop their balls onto a pin-board like ball return. Balls are sorted into one of three bins—land yours in the small, middle section and you'll take home a Google Home Mini! Land in the outside bins and you'll still walk away with small Google-themed goodie. This 21+ mini-golf club will feature craft cocktails, live DJs and three nine-hole courses. The Google Home Mini Golf Course will feature handy ways to use the family of Google Home speakers -- Original, Mini, and Max -- plus Nest products in your home. Like at CES or SXSW in Austin, there will likely be some sort of extravagant setup that shows off Assistant’s home automation capabilities, while users will be able to play a round of mini golf.
Google is now continuing the marketing blitz with a “Mini Golf course” this summer. Everyone walks away with a pair of golf socks, and a chance to win a Google Home Mini or Max. It’s a voice activated journey that shows how a little help from Google can make things easier – and more fun.

The Staten Island Fun Park also offers birthday packages, so if you’re planning a special event, this is the place to go. To show you how you can improve your life with Google Home, the company has built a mini golf course that's activated by your voice . Turn on your TV, lights, and music all using your voice, and you'll walk away with a pair of free golf socks (no that's not a joke), plus a chance to win a Google Home Mini or Max. Now Google, can you figure out how to make laundry and dishes happen by voice command?
Nest products are also on display, working with the connected Google Home devices throughout the course. You might remember the Google Home Mini Donut Shop from last year. On May 30th, Google has a new pop-up coming to New York for groups and families alike to cool off and have some summer fun. The Google Mini Golf pop-up is located at 350 6th Avenue in the West Village. Opening day hours are from noon-8pm and hours for the remaining days are 10am-8pm. Visits to Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta are also on the horizon once the pop-up closes up shop in New York.
In addition to a traditional putter, players also use the voice-activated Google products to navigate the course, which organizers say is a minute experience. A voice-powered miniature golf experience that shows people how to overcome life’s little obstacles, just by asking Google. Once you've completed the course, you'll enjoy a dance party with the Google Max, while you take your chance at winning a prize of your own to take home.
