The interior of the Gameplay Express is climate controlled, so we can accommodate in mild weather conditions. The exterior features will be closed during weather conditions such as precipitation, wind, high heat index or humidity. We are usually able to operate any time of the year; however, if we are not able to provide our services before or during the event due to unexpected and severe, weather conditions and storm warnings [flooding, heavy rain, thunder, lighting storm, tornado, hurricane, tropical storm, high winds, icy road conditions, etc.] we may (and reserve the right to) delay or reschedule your service to preserve the safety of our staff, equipment and especially you and your guests.
Gameplay Express is managed by us to make sure everyone gets to play and for selecting different games. Minimal supervision is only required depending on the number of, average age and behavior of guests.
No, food and/or beverages are not allowed inside.
However, it’s OK to set up a table with food and/or beverages at least 10’ away from the game truck.
No, not at this time but we’re currently building relationships with local businesses to provide additional perks for our customers.
We do not offer online gaming at this time.
Online video games are one-player only, per screen, with random children, teens, and adults not invited to the party, and their behaviors will vary. Guests will be spectating and awaiting a turn for an undetermined amount of time. Our goal is for everyone to be playing at the same time, and making good use of game truck time.
Online games are also subject to the quality of the location’s WiFi equipment, signal strength over a long distance, and ISP (Internet Service Providers) bandwidth package. If any of these factors are not optimal, it causes latency (lag) in games which is an undesirable playing experience. Our goal is to help create memorable moments free from external factors.
We do not offer VR gaming at this time.
In a social setting, VR is an individual, solo experience while others watch. It also requires enough space for unpredictable movements and guest safety. VR can cause some beginners to experience prolonged nausea even after discontinuing use. VR manufacturers disclaimer’s also state that it’s not recommended for children under the age of 12. Our goal is to provide an exciting shared experience that doesn’t include motion sickness.
