Not All Game Trucks Birthday Parties Are Equal

For the past 14 years, the term Game Truck Rentals has been growing in popularity, however the new industry as a whole, is still in its infantile stage. Anyone with access to a pickup truck, and some money to buy an empty trailer, can insert themselves into the game truck business. No child management skills are required, no criminal background check is required. This lack of oversight is why one GameTruck will charge $299 for 2 hours and a company like mines, Gamer vs Gamer, will charge $999 for the same 2 hours.

The average game truck will simply pull up and allow your child to play the same video games that they already have inside their bed rooms. The problem with this is, that the novelty of playing video games inside a truck, wears off in about 45 minutes to an hour, and then the kids start to get bored and leave the truck. There is nothing new, or special about the video games inside the truck.

I am explaining all of this information, so that you know what to look out for when shopping for a Gamer Truck party.

Don’t go for the cheapest: When you are the cheapest at anything, you are admitting that there is nothing special about what you offer. So the only way to attract you is by lowering my value.
Look at reviews: Google and yelp reviews will tell you what the salesman won’t. Are they always late? Do they cancel at the last minute ? Etc
Do they offer anything else other than the same video games that you already have at home?
Is their business insured? And can they provide proof? We Have to insure the pickup truck that we drive, and then the trailer is a separate insurance policy, and then the business itself needs liability insurance. This all can’t be covered by doing a $299 party!

There is a lot of other things to look out for, but this article would become a mini novel. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me at 678-206-9810, my name is Corey. And you can learn more about my company at Https://BirthdayParty2You.com

Why Hiring An Atlanta Game Truck Party Is Not Enough

If my child were having a game truck video game party in the near future, I can honestly say that I wouldn’t waste a dime on hiring A “standard” Atlanta Game Truck Party service. Why in the world would I make such a statement about the very industry that I am in?

The reason I can make this statement is because I have been in the industry for almost a decade, and I have noticed that “standard” game trucks are popping up everywhere like weeds. I emphasize the word “STANDARD” because there are some above average game truck options available.

Standard in this article refers to those who only provide the bare minimum. I’ve noticed that anyone with enough cash and access to video game equipment, can put together the most elementary version of a Game Truck just to take advantage of what “appears” to be a quick and easy way to make a buck.

Because it’s so easy to start a Game truck business, many consumers don’t realize that there is no necessary child management experience or criminal background check required to start a Game Truck business.

But most importantly, I’ve noticed that playing video games on a trailer for 2 hours, is just not enough to keep the kids interested. Whenever I’ve done “video game only” parties with my company Gamer vs. Gamer, I’ve noticed that half way through the party, the kids go outside and play basketball, ride bikes and play tag.

The reason for the quick lack of interest is actually very simply… It’s video game fatigue. Let me explain, most kids play video games every single day of the week, multiple times per day (ie. In the bathroom, at the kitchen table, in the car, on the school bus, in school, in church on their phones) The easy and constant access to video games makes the “standard” video game truck more of a novelty than a celebration or experience.

The only alternative to a “standard” Game Truck is a “Game Truck experience”, one that focuses more on the celebration and recognition of your child birthday first, and playing video games second. Companies like Dacula’s very own Gamer vs Gamer, who purposely refrains from following the path of least resistance by simply allowing kids to play video games and then go home, like every other game truck out there.

This Dacula based Game Truck Experience is unique because they actually have a birthday party, complete with cake, ice cream, pizza, popcorn machines, drinks, dance party segments, 5 minute movie segments and what they call a Tear- Jerker video segment.

Lastly, in addition to steering away from “standard” video game only Game Trucks, it is recommended that the parents who do decide to go ahead and hire a “standard” Game truck should limit the amount of video game playing the day of the Game Truck Birthday Party. This deferment of video game gratification will help to build excitement and anticipation for the party and help reduce video game fatigue.
