Children’s birthday parties should be exciting, but the planning can quickly become a long list of decisions. You need a date, a venue, invitations, entertainment, food and an activity that keeps the whole group involved.
A mobile gaming party simplifies one of the biggest decisions by bringing the entertainment directly to you. Here are five practical ways to make the day run smoothly.
Choose the guest list before the van
Start with the age of the birthday child and the number of guests. Different gaming vans have different capacities, seating arrangements and features, so an accurate guest list will help you choose the most suitable experience.
Game Heads offers three options: FUN, WOW and MAX. Each one has its own combination of screens, consoles, racing, lighting and party features.
Enquire about your date early
Weekend party times are naturally popular, particularly during the autumn and winter months when indoor entertainment becomes even more appealing. Sending an enquiry early gives you the best chance of securing the date and time you prefer.
Include your postcode, proposed date, age group and estimated number of players so the team can recommend the most appropriate van.
Keep invitations clear
Tell guests that the party will take place inside a mobile gaming van and provide a clear arrival time. It is also helpful to ask parents to mention any accessibility requirements or concerns in advance.
Game Heads packages include printable or digital invitations and thank-you cards, making it easier to keep the party details consistent.
Plan simple food around the gaming session
The gaming experience should remain the main event. Instead of trying to serve food during the session, plan a simple meal, pizza or birthday cake before or after the children are inside the van.
This keeps controllers and equipment clean and allows the group to make the most of their gaming time.
Let the team run the entertainment
One of the main benefits of a mobile gaming party is that parents do not need to organise a series of games or activities. The van arrives with the gaming equipment ready, and a Game Heads team member helps run the experience.
That means the children can focus on playing together while the adults can step back from managing every minute of the party.
Which Game Heads van is right for your party?
FUN is ideal for a lively group experience with Xbox gaming, Nintendo Switches, music, lighting and a dedicated racing rig.
WOW combines large 4K screens, Xbox Series X consoles, premium Bentley-stitched memory-foam seating and an immersive party atmosphere.
MAX offers the widest variety, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, racing simulators and PSVR2, with capacity for up to 14 younger players.
