Reasons GameTruck is Ideal for Summer Camps

It’s April, which means that summer is just around the corner.

It’s the perfect time to book GameTruck for an excitement and fun-filled day.

Summer is supposed to be a vacation from the ordinary routine of school. Here are a few reasons to make this summer extraordinary with a GameTruck party.

Video Games: Social Activities in Disguise

Sure, most parents would confine kids to traditional summer camp activities: sports, arts and crafts, and the like. Kids get bored with the same things year after year. Face it; the traditional summer camp gets old fast. Break the monotony by giving your campers an event that they’ll love.

Video games are an ideal activity for a summer camp. While the stereotype of the lone gamer is predominant in pop culture, the truth is that video games create a social environment. Players from all walks of life find common ground and bond over gaming.

The new Nintendo Switch is an excellent model for social gaming, allowing ad hoc wireless gaming for up to sixteen players. Bring your campers closer together!

GameTruck: Weatherproof

While most people associate the season with blue skies and sunshine, summer doesn’t guarantee excellent weather. You’re not always going to have the sunny days that you might expect.

If the forecast predicts rain, don’t let weather patterns ruin the fun. Each of our video game trailers are climate-controlled and, more importantly, dry.

Did a storm knock out your power? Not to worry; each of our video game trailers are self-powered and comes packing a backup generator – just in case.

Hack of the Week for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Hack of the Week

Playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Here some tips to make your journey through Hyrule a little easier.

Money

Sell your gems.
Cook and Sell Food (some sell for 490 rupee a skewer).
Kill Guardians! It takes some skill but the rewards are worthwhile.
Use Your Amiibo for fun surprises.
Gamble in Lurlin Village.

Attacks

Learning to jump and stop time to fire an arrow is a core mechanic. I defeated Vah Ruta, the Elephant Divine Beast, without knowing how to do that. It makes many battles a lot easier.
You can drop bombs when using the parasail, like your own personal airstrike. I love that.
You can use your shield to deflect shots right back at enemies, kinda like hitting a baseball back at a pitcher.
You can cut off the legs of guardians if you have a strong enough weapon.
Elemental weapons (fire, ice) offset environmental effects like cold and heat. You can even use fire weapons to melt giant ice formations in the mountains.

Bonus Tip: If you go to the main screen and select your profile you can see how many hours you have played Zelda. As of the time of this writing I am at 52 hours… No judgment!
