Q. How Many People can the Game Nation game truck hold?
The Game Nation game truck can entertain 33 players on 9 screens (including our two covered outdoor gaming stations, weather permitting, and our VR Racing Simulator.
Q. How many can play Laser Tag at once?
Game Nation laser tag parties include 12 laser taggers, so birthday parties are best suited to 12 or fewer players. For larger groups or large events, our Game Coach can rotate players through timed intervals, so everybody gets plenty of playing time!
Q. Is there an age limit to the gamers?
While people can start gaming at a very young age, we ask that our attendees be able to take direction from our Game Coach. We can provide a party for 6 yr old guests as long as there are parents or older siblings helping inside the theater during the party, otherwise we recommend parties for kids 7 yrs old and up.
Q. What cleaning methods are used to ensure a sanitary party environment?
Game Nation prides itself on providing a spotlessly clean and sanitary video game truck for your party. After every event, we clean/disinfect all “touch surfaces,” including entry/exit doors, seats, floors and gaming equipment (controllers, laser taggers, etc.) We want to be sure that the only thing “spread” at our events is FUN!
Q. How much space does your Game Truck take up?
We require at least 50′ of fairly level space for parking, plus some room to pull in and out. We usually fit nicely in front of most homes but it is always good to check with your neighbors to give us a little extra room. Although our drivers are skilled we prefer to pull straight into the allotted space, parallel parking a trailer is just not realistic. If your street is narrow and/or we will not have the room to turn around please notify us beforehand.
Q. Where can the game truck be set up?
We are self contained so we can set up anywhere there is level parking; your home, public parks, businesses, pools, schools, sports fields, churches, community centers, etc. (You may need to get permission at parks or public places prior to booking.)
Q. Where can Laser Tag be set up?
Laser Tag is extremely flexible as far as location, and we can set up the playing field in just about any yard, open space, or even large indoor space. (You may need to get permission at parks or public places prior to booking.)
Q. Is it required to tip the Game Coach?
While tipping is never required, it is always appreciated if you feel our Game Coach has done a great job for your party or event.
Q. How much do events cost?
We believe you always get what you pay for and when it comes to your child’s party experience we have spared no expenses with our video game theater. We provide you and your guests with the very best mobile entertainment in the business. We want to be known as the best of the best in the industry by providing the ultimate experiences for your kids, friends, families or co-workers. We offer the largest and highest quality televisions, next-generation gaming systems and the latest games that kids want to play. For pricing, see our Video Game Party page or our Laser Tag Party page.
Q. Do we need to supervise the party?
While parents or others are always welcome to observe or participate in the fun, it is normally not necessary, however we do ask that at least one adult/host be present to help supervise younger kids. Every Game Nation party/event includes one of our highly trained Game Coaches who will run the event for you.
Q. Are food and beverages allowed inside the game truck?
Due to our high quality video game theater and our commitment to the cleanest and most prestigious game truck in our industry we do not allow any food or beverages in our game truck.
Q. What about bad weather?
Since our game truck is fully enclosed, insulated, and in a climate controlled environment, rain is never an issue and we will still show up for your party/event. If we’re experiencing high winds, a major storm, lightning or weather that threatens the safety of our game theater or your guests, we hold the right to reschedule your event at a later time. We will do our best to find a rescheduled time that works best for both you and us. Laser tag parties are best held on dry days, so if weather threatens we can move the party indoors!
Q. What video games are available to play?
We carry a fairly comprehensive selection of the latest and most popular video games ranging from E to M in ratings. You are welcome to bring in any of your games from home if we do not have a particular game your child enjoys. Video gaming in general (and especially with Game Nation,) is meant to be a social experience so most of our games are multi-player games. Some are able to be linked together for an even more competitive gaming experience.
Q. What is your cancellation policy?
A valid credit card or debit card is required to guarantee and pay for your Game Nation reservation. There will be a $50 cancellation fee for all parties or events cancelled after payment is received. There will be a $100 cancellation fee for all parties or events cancelled after payment is received and within 30 days of scheduled event.
