How far will you travel?
We are based in Barry, South Wales. Please see our coverage map for the areas we cover. If you are outside this area please contact us to see what we can do for you.
Do you drive around while the games are being played?
Are you kidding? Our insurers would have kittens! Our parties are always in parked vans. We bring the van to wherever you need us to be.
Will the weather affect my party?
We party in all weathers except in the case of the rare red weather warnings where you would receive a full refund or could move your party to another date.
What do we need from you?
Just space to park the van, access to a mains electric point and access to your home internet router (if having an online party).
Will your gaming van double my energy bills?
No our electrical equipment is the latest A+ low energy use equipment. We calculated if we used everything on board for the entirety of a 90 minute party it would cost just £2 in electric! In reality it is much cheaper because that is based on the 2 air con units being on the whole time. They have never been on the whole time.
