FAQs

We have a variety of games available including popular games like Fortnite, FIFA, Grid and Rocket League to name a few. If there are any particular games that you would like then please make a note on the booking form and we will do our best to include them.

Please make sure that you have adequate room for the van. It requires the space of 2 cars (approximately), a level surface, and it needs to be no more than 20 meters away from the electrical supply. Please be mindful when choosing your space that it will be safe and not in a place that could be dangerous for the gamers to gain access.

We aim for the van to arrive 20-30 minutes before the allocated party time to allow for setting up.

Yes, we require 2 electrical socket outlets to power the van, it uses about 2400kWh of electric so costs about 68p for one hours’ gaming (2022 average electric prices).

Ideally it`s best that we connect to your router with our supplied cable. Although if this is not feasible then we have a 4/5g router onboard as a back-up. In the worst-case scenario where we can’t receive an internet connection or servers aren’t operational then only off-line games will be playable. 

No, unfortunately we don’t allow food or drink in the van as there are no suitable surfaces to place them on.

We recommend 10 gamers in the van at any one time so that they can have a console each. We can accommodate up to 12 players maximum but this means some gamers would be limited to Split-Screen games only.

There are no age restrictions for players, although parties are most suited for ages 8 – 13 years. Children under 6 years must be Supervised by a Parent/Guardian at all times.

We do not restrict games to age ratings on an individual player basis although it is up to the individual who hires the van (must be age 18+) to ensure that we know if there are any particular games that you don’t want to be played. It is the responsibility of the person booking to check this with the gamers’ parents/guardians.

The headset will only be present at a party where the age of the ‘person celebrating’ is 8 years or older and other players are in the same age bracket, and where the number of persons in the van does not exceed 8. Use of the VR headset is at the team member’s discretion.

The VR headset is primarily used in the van as a seated experience, however we do have an awning to allow use outside providing the correct weather conditions and safety requirements are met, and at the discretion of our team member.

The Lanyards are fitted with safety breaks, detachable buckle and metal clasp (refer to our Gallery for pictures). The “Party Pass” is attached to the clasp and will display the name and age of the person celebrating. This is completed using the information given on the Booking Form when ordering. We will bring all of the Lanyards to the party and present them to the players on entering the van and they are then theirs to keep when they leave. They make for a great party gift and can be used to clip on I.D tags, passes, keys etc afterwards.

The Sweet Cones are available to order for just £2.50 each and are brimming with a variety of tasty treats. Please order these on the Booking Form and they will then be brought by us on the day of the party and given out at the end of the party. Each cone weighs approximately 185 grams and is made up of Blue and Pink Millions, Cola Bottles, Gummy Bears, Fizzy Bottles, mini Marshmallows, Chocolate Jazzies and White Mice.
