GameTruck
FAQ

GameTruck birthday parties typically start around $400–$500 for a 2-hour event, averaging about $25 per guest. That is competitive with trampoline parks, arcade venues, and bounce house rentals — but GameTruck comes to you and the party is completely private. Pricing varies by location, experience type (video games, laser tag, foam party, etc.), day of the week, and party duration. Enter your ZIP code on our booking page to see real-time pricing for your area.

For most families, GameTruck is comparable in price to venue-based parties — and often a better value. A typical birthday party averages $25–$30 per guest and includes everything: equipment, entertainment, a certified GameCoach, setup, and cleanup. Venue parties typically charge admission fees, require food and drink minimums, and still need you to show up early for setup and stay late for cleanup. GameTruck eliminates all of that — it is a complete, private, self-contained party with zero work for the host.

Corporate team building packages typically start around $1,200. Employee appreciation events and family days start around $1,500. Festival and carnival packages begin at $1,500 for half-day events and scale based on duration, number of units, and activities. Pricing varies by location, headcount, and event scope. Enter your ZIP code on our booking page for a customized quote, or contact your local operator directly to discuss options for larger events.

No. GameTruck pricing includes the gaming theater or activity equipment, a certified GameCoach, power generation, setup, and cleanup. There are no hidden fees. Some locations offer premium add-ons (extended time, additional activities, combo packages), which are quoted upfront during booking. You see the full price before you commit.

GameTruck offers seven party experiences. Video Game Parties are our most popular — a climate-controlled theater with 200+ titles across Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Laser Tag brings tactical outdoor battles. ZTAG uses wearable tech for active tag games. GelTag delivers safe gel bead battles. Foam Parties create mountains of clean, hypoallergenic bubbles. Water Tag is seasonal outdoor water-based fun. @HOME Gaming brings consoles and screens directly inside your home or venue. You can mix and match experiences for the ultimate combo party.

Each GameTruck theater carries a library of 200+ games that is updated regularly. The library includes popular titles across Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch — from Madden and FIFA to Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Fortnite, Minecraft, and more. Games range from E (Everyone) to M (Mature) ratings. All games are multiplayer for maximum group fun. Your GameCoach will help select age-appropriate titles for your party and can restrict the game library based on your preferences.

GameTruck @HOME brings the gaming party inside your home, apartment, community center, or any indoor space. Instead of a mobile theater, a GameCoach delivers and sets up gaming consoles, screens, and controllers directly in your space. It is perfect for locations without outdoor access (apartments, condos), indoor-only venues, or events where you prefer to stay inside. The GameCoach manages the entire experience the same way they would in the trailer — you do nothing.

Absolutely. Combo parties are popular — many families pair video games with laser tag, or add foam parties to a GelTag event. Corporate events often run three or four activities simultaneously. Combining activities keeps energy high, gives guests variety, and works especially well for larger groups. Your local operator will help you design the right combination based on your guest count, venue, and budget.

Yes. That is our signature service — the party comes to you. The mobile gaming theater needs about 60 feet of straight, level space, roughly the length of a standard moving truck. Residential streets, cul-de-sacs, and street parking all work, provided we have enough room to maneuver. The trailer includes its own generator, so you do not need an outdoor outlet or extension cords. For outdoor activities like laser tag and GelTag, you need an open area about 40 × 60 feet — roughly the size of a backyard.

Yes. For apartments or homes without street access, we can often park nearby with permission. Parks and community centers work great if there is accessible parking. School parking lots, church lots, and office campuses are all popular venues. For indoor-only locations or venues without outdoor space, @HOME brings gaming equipment directly inside your space. Your local operator will confirm site feasibility during booking.

The mobile gaming theater needs about 60 feet of straight, level clearance with approximately 10 feet of overhead height. That is roughly the footprint of a standard moving truck. For outdoor activities, you need an open area about 40 × 60 feet — a typical backyard or park clearing. Foam parties work in any outdoor open space. The trailer has its own generator, so no electrical hookup is required. Your local operator can assess your space during booking.

Your certified GameCoach arrives 15–30 minutes before your event starts. They park the trailer (or set up outdoor activity equipment), power on all systems, and prepare the gaming environment. When guests arrive, the GameCoach gives a quick orientation, organizes teams or free-play rotations, and manages the entire event. They handle player rotations, settle friendly disputes, keep energy high, and make sure every guest gets equal play time.

GameTruck is a full entertainment solution — no additional activities needed. Many hosts set up a simple food table nearby with pizza, cake, and snacks, but that is entirely optional and separate from the GameTruck experience. We bring all the fun. Parents frequently tell us they appreciate the simplicity of having one vendor handle the entire entertainment experience — no magician, no bounce house, no Pinterest crafts to prepare.

Most parties are 2 hours, which gives every guest plenty of play time even with rotations. If you are combining activities — say video games plus laser tag — a 3-hour block keeps things relaxed and avoids rushing between rotations. Some locations offer extended time options for larger groups or events that want extra flexibility. Your local operator can recommend the ideal duration based on your headcount and activity selection.

Nobody — because there is nothing to clean up. The GameCoach packs all equipment, powers down systems, secures all controllers and gear, and drives away. Your space is left exactly as it was before we arrived. No forgotten equipment. No mess. No trash. That is the entire point of GameTruck: zero setup, zero cleanup, zero stress for the host.

Yes. GameTruck is a popular choice for corporate team building, employee appreciation events, company family days, and office celebrations. We bring video game tournaments, laser tag team battles, and outdoor activities directly to your office parking lot, corporate campus, park, or event venue. Activities are designed to build camaraderie through friendly competition — no trust falls or forced icebreakers. GameTruck resonates especially well with younger employees and tech-forward companies.

Yes. GameTruck regularly supports school fundraisers, community festivals, church carnivals, and large corporate events with hundreds of attendees. A single video game trailer can entertain 50+ players per hour with structured rotation. For larger events, we coordinate multiple units and outdoor activities running simultaneously to maximize throughput. Schools using GameTruck for fundraisers typically net $800–$2,000+ per event through ticket sales, with additional revenue from concessions and raffles.

Yes, and it is one of our most popular event formats. Some schools charge $15–$25 per student for a 2-hour event. With 100–150 students attending, gross revenue is typically $1,500–$3,750. After paying for GameTruck, schools net $800–$2,000+ per event. Adding concessions, raffles, or silent auctions increases proceeds further. We provide certificates of insurance for school districts and can coordinate with multiple schools in the same district.
