The holiday season is upon us! With Thanksgiving over, it’s time to start thinking about everybody’s favorite holiday: Christmas. Though you may not get the white Christmas that we sing about, decorating a tree, spending time with friends and family, giving and receiving gifts, cooking and eating delicious food, and just the general jolly-ness in the air makes Christmas one of the most looked-forward-to holidays of the year. There’s only one thing that could make it better: a video game party that comes to your house from GameTruck San Jose. Don’t believe us? Here are five reasons why you should host a GameTruck party this holiday season:

Get in the Christmas Spirit

Gametruck parties aren’t just about our mobile video game truck. We make sure that every truck is in full party mode with lights, sound, and music, all year round. During Christmas time, we really enjoy getting into the spirit! We enjoy decorating and playing Christmas music in the truck to really get the kids excited for the holidays.

Spend Time with Your Friends

The best part of a GameTruck party is that it’s completely hassle-free. Our experienced team of GameCoaches take care of everything from start to finish, including engaging with your children during the party itself! As long as your children are over the age of 6, you don’t even need to supervise! All we ask is that at least one parent, guardian, or otherwise adult be present on-scene (you can stay in your house, you don’t have to be near the GameTruck itself!) just in case of an emergency.

This means, a GameTruck party is a superb way or giving your children something fun to do so you can have a Christmas party with your friends without needing to worry about your children. Tell your friends to bring their kids and it’s the best of both worlds for everybody – your children are guaranteed to enjoy it more than a babysitter!

Make it Special

Anyone can throw a Christmas party, but make yours stand out and be the one everyone is talking about! Whether the main event or a fun activity on the side, a GameTruck party is sure to make any party memorable. Tell your guests to put on their best ugly Christmas sweaters and let’s get the party started!

We’ll Come to You

Holiday preparations can be stressful. Don’t let a Christmas party for your kids be one more thing you need to stress about! We’ll bring our loaded video game truck straight to your yard, so you don’t have to worry about the stress of packing up your kids and heading out somewhere.

You’ll get the best of both worlds: we’ll come to you, but we’ll also leave no trace – you won’t even know we were there, so you won’t have to deal with a messy indoor cleanup that comes with hosting a party for your kids. What could be better than that?

Give the Gift of GameTruck

While Christmas is much more than just presents (Don’t believe us? Ask the Grinch), we can’t escape the nature of this gift-giving holiday. Give your child more than just the gift of video games – give him or her a video game party, which comes with something even more valuable than anything that could be wrapped: memories that will last a lifetime of the best Christmas present they ever had!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, which means that Cyber Monday is also quickly approaching. Cyber Monday is a great opportunity for gamers to find the best deals on gaming consoles, popular games, accessories, and other electronics without having to leave the comfort of their own home. Many physical stores that are participating in Black Friday, such as GameStop, are also discounting their games online on November 26th for Cyber Monday. GameStop is taking it to the next level by holding a CyberWeek, offering a week’s worth of deals from November 27th to December 1st. GameTruck Jacksonville has 4 recommended games that you should look for this Cyber Monday.

Monster Hunter World

Monster Hunter World is one of the best action role-playing games to keep an eye on for Cyber Monday. With its early release in January of this year, this game has been said to be the second-best selling video game for the PlayStation 4. Gamers can hunt and trap the scariest monsters on PS4, Xbox One, or on their PC’s. GameTruck Jacksonville has already seen this game lower in price, so we believe this game will be one of the best-priced games this holiday season.

Far Cry 5

Far Cry 5 is the latest installment of the popular first-person shooter video game. The game has been praised for its design, visuals, and soundtrack. This game is available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Currently retailed around $60, we expect this game to see a significant drop in price due to its earlier release in March of 2018. Online retailers such as Amazon, BestBuy and GameStop are expected to sell these games on Cyber Monday.

Madden NFL ‘19

Whether its Tom Brady or Khalil Mack, you can play the field as your favorite NFL pro in Madden NFL ‘19. With interactive touchdown interactions and a great soundtrack, Madden ‘19 has new and improved features that gamers seem to love. This game was given an 8.9 rating by IGN, so be sure to get this game while discounts last.

Octopath Traveler

As one of the best-selling games on the Nintendo Switch, Octopath Traveler is a single-player adventure video game. Allowing you to choose from eight characters, gamers can experience this game through multiple stories and embark new challenging journeys. Check out these online retailers for the best prices this Cyber Monday.

Each year, Thanksgiving seems to have recurring themes—football, eating, and napping. As exciting as these activities may be, there are plenty of other ways to keep your guests entertained. Change your holiday traditions by engaging in games with your family and friends this Thanksgiving. Whether they are classic board games or outdoor activities, family games are a great way to keep everyone occupied while the turkey is roasting in the oven. GameTruck is here to provide you with 5 of the best family games for Thanksgiving.

Touch Football

Rather than getting worked up over a game on TV that is out of your control, set up a fun game of touch football between you and your house guests. Decide which way to divide your teams evenly; it can be anything from girls against guys or adults versus kids. Amp up the competition by making a bet—”losers have to clean the dishes!” Engaging in this kind of fun competition is a great way to get the family active. Burning calories before your Thanksgiving meal is also a great way to make room for all of the food you are about to intake!

Charades

Keep it classic with a game of charades. Whether you choose to play individually or with teams, one player will act out a phrase, movie, character, or other action of their choice. The other team members must then guess what that individual is acting out. If you have trouble thinking of a topic to act out, download Charades!™ In the App Store or Google Play. This is an appropriate game for all ages that tends to be a family favorite.

Pumpkin Roll

Pumpkin Roll is a family-friendly relay race that involves getting a pumpkin to the designated finish line. First, choose the size pumpkin you want. Once the pumpkin has been chosen, it just comes down to determining the space in which the relay will take place.

On your mark, get set, go! Roll the pumpkin on its side, and let the fun begin! The great thing about this game is that there is no minimum or maximum number of players that can participate.

Thanksgiving Bingo

Bingo is another classic game that most people are familiar with. Taking the traditional game of bingo and making it festive is simple. Download printable Thanksgiving bingo cards online, purchase them online, or get creative and make your own bingo cards. Use candy or markers to cover a square when it is called. Once you have 5 consecutive tiles going vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, make sure to call BINGO!

Board Games

From Monopoly to Scrabble, the options for family board games are endless. Board games typically take much longer than other activities, so they are great to play while you are recovering from a food coma. Find the best board games to play with families at locations such as Target, Walmart, or online through Amazon.
