Why Mobile Gaming Parties Are Perfect for Winter Birthdays

When you’re organising a child’s birthday during the colder months, finding an activity that everyone will enjoy can become surprisingly difficult.

Outdoor plans are at the mercy of the weather, your house may not be quite ready for a group of excited children, and many indoor venues involve a surprising amount of organisation.

That’s exactly where a mobile gaming party comes into its own.

With Game Heads, the entertainment arrives at your location in a fully equipped gaming van, giving the birthday child and their friends their own dedicated space to play, compete and celebrate together.

No worrying about the weather

British weather is unpredictable at the best of times, but autumn and winter make outdoor birthday plans particularly risky.

A Game Heads gaming van gives you an indoor activity without having to hire a traditional venue.

Once the children are inside, they can concentrate on gaming while whatever is happening outside becomes much less important.

The party doesn’t take over your house

Hosting a birthday party at home can sound convenient, until the guest list starts growing.

A mobile gaming van creates a separate party space right outside, meaning you don’t need to turn your living room into an entertainment venue or find enough activities to keep everybody occupied.

It also means considerably less disruption inside the house.

Everyone has something to do

One of the biggest challenges with children’s parties is finding an activity that keeps the whole group interested.

Gaming parties naturally lend themselves to group entertainment. Children can race, compete, play alongside their friends and move between different games throughout the session.

Game Heads has three vans to choose from, so the experience can be matched to the age and size of the group.

FUN offers a lively group experience with Xbox consoles, Nintendo Switches, a dedicated racing rig, JBL sound and party lighting.

WOW provides a premium gaming environment with 12 large 4K screens, Xbox Series X consoles and luxury Bentley-stitched memory-foam seating.

MAX offers the widest variety of gaming, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, two racing simulators and optional PSVR2. MAX can accommodate up to 14 younger players.

It simplifies the entertainment

Parents already have plenty to organise for a birthday: invitations, presents, cake, food and the guest list.

Choosing one main activity that occupies the group for the bulk of the party removes a lot of the pressure.

Instead of planning several different games and trying to move children from one activity to another, the gaming experience becomes the centrepiece.

Game Heads brings the equipment and gaming environment directly to your location.

It feels like a proper occasion

For children, stepping inside a van filled with huge screens, consoles, lighting and gaming equipment feels very different from simply playing a console at home.

It creates a dedicated birthday experience, somewhere they can sit alongside their friends, compete, laugh and celebrate together.

And because the party comes to them, there is an element of excitement before they have even stepped through the doors.

Winter birthday coming up?

If you’re planning a birthday over the next few months, it’s worth enquiring early, particularly if you have a specific weekend date in mind.

Simply let Game Heads know your location, the age of the birthday child and approximately how many guests you’re expecting.

We can then help you choose between FUN, WOW and MAX and find the best option for your party.
