GameTruck for Fundraisers
Fundraisers are an important part of any nonprofit organization or extracurricular activity. Pizza parties and school spaghetti dinners are a staple, but are you looking for something a little more exciting? Whether you’re looking to raise money for a school or church group, a GameTruck party is a great way to ensure an exciting time and a great turnout.
Kids are naturally drawn to our state-of-the-art Game Trailer, packed with our extensive collection of games and consoles. With the latest family-friendly games, GameTruck parties offer exciting, safe, and more importantly, unique activities that are sure to bring people to your next event and put the fun in fundraiser.
The Arcade Comes to You
Video games offer excitement for all ages: young kids, ancient wizards, and everyone in between, which makes them the ideal activity for your upcoming fundraiser. Unfortunately, it’s either difficult or impossible to take your fundraiser to the local arcade. And that’s not accounting for all those quarters spent on games, rather than your cause!
So bring the arcade to your guests. When we roll up to your venue, we bring an entire arcade’s worth of video games with us. We’re bringing the latest and greatest games, and our Nintendo Switch consoles are sure to be a hit with your guests, young or old.
Hold a LaserTag Tournament
GameTruck’s LaserTag is an ideal fundraiser activity. It’s fast paced, exciting, and can accommodate a large crowd with ease. For smaller groups, hold a tournament with entry fees and offer a prize for the winning team. They say that competition brings out the best in people. Put that saying to the test and see how much your guests are willing to help your cause before entering the arena.
If you’re worried about space constraints, our LaserTag system can accommodate just about any environment.
Our GameCoaches Are There to Lend a Hand
One of the greatest challenges that a fundraiser faces is the question of staffing. How do you make sure that each guest is getting their fair share of game time? That’s where our professional staff comes in.
Our GameCoaches are on hand to take care of everything and make sure that the event runs smoothly. Our GameCoaches manage turn rotations, referee duties, and watch over to make sure that everyone celebrates in an environment that is safe and fun for everyone. Our staff specializes in planning a hassle-free event that your guests will never forget!

5 Kid-Approved Activities for Mother’s Day
Mother’s day is just around the corner, which means that moms all across the country are anticipating the classic gifts: chocolate, flowers, and burnt breakfast in bed. More than that, they’re looking forward to spending some quality time with their families. Who could ask for more?
Kids love the day just as much as you do. They get to celebrate their favorite person in the world, after all. To help kick things off, we’ve compiled some of our favorite activities to celebrate the day with your kids.
1. Arts and Crafts
There’s a lot of fun DIY arts and crafts projects that you can make with your kids. You can paint, bake, or even go on a bug safari. Break out the construction paper and get them to make mother’s day cards or paper mache flowers for you (or other family members).
2. Video Games
Video games are a fun and engaging way to play with your children. There are so many options of consoles and games that are built for group play, and really foster a fun environment. There can be some serious quality time snuggled up on the couch while playing a game.
Our recent favorite is the newly launched Nintendo Switch. It is a great choice for family bonding activities. The console features a broad variety of games and is sure to have something for everyone — including mom. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a great game to play with the whole family with its fun multiplayer options.
3. Day Trip
You don’t have to spend a fortune on a vacation. Take a day trip to a local art or history museum. Or, find a nice park, pack a lunch, and have a picnic. Just don’t feed the ducks! Bread makes them sick.
4. Board Games
Board games are making a serious comeback. Break out the games & snacks, and have an all day game-a-thon with classics like Clue, Life, or that one where you get pied in the face. They’re board games, not bored games, so feel free to get a little silly with it.
5. Movies
Mother’s day is a great time to share some memories with your kids. Watch some old home movies or share pictures of your childhood. Take a trip down memory lane and blow their minds with the fact that you were a kid once, too. They’re sure to get a thrill out of the pre-smartphone era.

Which game console is best for families?
Who said video games are just for kids? If you are looking to add some excitement to your next family game night, consider investing in a new video game console for the whole family. But which gaming console is right for your clan?
The Nintendo Switch is a must-have game system for families, offering an exciting new direction for social gaming and multiplayer experiences. Here are 3 reasons why the Nintendo Switch is the ultimate game console for family gaming.
1. Flexibility for Families
Parents have been criticizing the divide between video game consoles for years and having to buy games for handheld devices as well as home consoles.
Not anymore. The Nintendo Switch easily transforms from a home console to a portable console, so whether you are staying inside or hitting the road for a family road trip, with the Nintendo Switch you can play your favorite games on-the-go from virtually anywhere.
2. All-Ages Game Selection
The Nintendo Switch offers a well-rounded list of launch titles that both kids and parents will love. Launch titles include nostalgic games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild to party games like 1-2-Switch which is chock full of mini-games such as Quick Draw and Samurai Training that are guaranteed to keep your family busy during game night.
More heavy hitters are scheduled for the upcoming months including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2.
3. Social Features and Parental Controls
The Nintendo Switch console offers several multiplayer options, along with social games designed to be played in groups. The Joy-Con splits into two controllers, meaning you can play a multiplayer game right out of the box, without having to buy a second controller.
Parents can also monitor their kids game time with the free Parental Controls app from Nintendo. These controls can limit:
Which games your kids can play
How long (and how late) they can play
Whether they can post screenshots to social media
Whether they can purchase from the Nintendo eShop
