How many people can Game Runner accommodate?
The Game Runner Mobile Video Game Theaters can handle 24 or 36 players.
Is there a minimum age for the players?
While people can start gaming at a very young age, we ask that our attendees be able to read and take direction from the staff. Therefore, we do ask that at least one adult/host be present to supervise 5 years and under children.
How much space does Game Runner require?
We require about 35 feet of fairly level space for parking, plus some room to pull in and out. The Game Runner Mobile Video Game Theater should fit in front of almost any house but may block your driveway. In parking lots we take between 7-8 parking spaces. The ability to pull straight into curb side parking is preferred as parallel parking a 20 or 28 foot long mobile theater can be challenging.
Where can Game Runner setup?
Because the Game Runner Mobile Video Game Theaters are self contained, we can setup almost anywhere there is ample level parking. We can easily setup at homes, parks, businesses, schools, sports fields, churches, community centers, etc.
How much do events cost?
Game Runner pricing is highly competitive with the average cost of other events such as inflatable parties, race tracks, or other types of parties consisting of 10 or more people. See the Pricing tab for exact pricing information and specials.
I live in (your address), is there a mileage, drop off, or delivery fee?
We have a fairly extensive service area in which we do not charge for additional mileage. In the case that your event is out of our service area, give us a call and we will work out a reasonable mileage quote. We do not charge any additional fees for delivering or dropping off our mobile theater.
Do you require a deposit to book an event date?
Yes, in order to hold an event date and time, a deposit of $100.00 is required. The balance is due one week before the event date. If you are planning an event within less than 1 week of an available event date, bookings will require full payment.
Will you need to plug into my home's power source?
No at all. Game Runner is a fully self contained unit. We have our own generators on board that provides power to run all of our systems. There is no need to plug anything into your home's power system.
Do I need to supervise the party?
While parents are always welcome to observe or participate in the fun, it is normally not necessary. We do however ask that at least one adult/host be present to supervise children 5 years and under. Game Runner includes a Game Coach(s) who will keep everything running smoothly and everyone engaged in the fun.
Is it appropriate to tip the Game Coach?
Yes, it's appropriate, for a job well done. Our staff works hard before, during, and after the event to ensure everyone has a good time; and, although, gratuity is not required, it is encouraged, (and appreciated), if you feel your Game Coach has exceeded your expectations.
Are food and beverages allowed inside the Game Runner Mobile Video Game Theaters?
Sorry, but due to the sensitive nature of the electronics inside the theaters, we do not allow any food or beverages inside. If booking a Movie Party we do permit popcorn, chips, and resealable drinks since there is no handling of game controllers.
Are alcohol or drugs allowed inside the Game Runner Mobile Video Game Theaters?
Of course alcohol can be served at your event as long as you provide it. We will not serve or provide any alcohol to anyone. Drugs will not be tolerated in or around the Mobile Game Theaters. If our game coach notices any drugs being used or alcohol being served to minors we will have the right to terminate the event immediately and will be forced to report this illegal activity to the proper authorities.
How do you handle parties in bad weather?
Game Runner is a self contained, insulated, and climate controlled environment. Rain will not ruin the fun!
We have a high-output air-conditioning systems to keep you cool in the hot and humid South Florida weather.
Tropical Storm & Hurricanes:
We cannot operate in Tropical Storm or Hurricanes conditions…. Because of the uncertainty of storms, we will continue to operate as long as it is safe for us to be on the road. We will work with you to reschedule or cancel a party if you need time for storm preparation or storm clean up.
