GameTruck Party Review
GameTruck Northern Virginia / D.C. hosted a party for Jocelyn, the voice behind Hip Mama’s Place in August 2014. Joe Howe, owner, and Geoffrey Hardy, manager, were able to organize a smooth and successful event.
“Not only did it help me throw a stress-free birthday party (all our guests didn’t have to be inside our house the whole time), it also made for a fun, memorable event for my son Gabriel, his friends and our whole family!”

Back in August, I was given the opportunity to throw a free birthday party for my son Gabriel, who recently turned nine this year. This party was to test out the Game Truck Party – Video Game party. If you’ve heard about kid birthday parties in a truck, then you’ve probably heard about Game Truck Party. It’s the hottest new way to celebrate your kid’s birthday and it’s totally worth it!
Party Details
I am usually full of details whenever I throw any party – from matching decor themes and colors to cakes and utensils. But for this party, I wanted it to be more laid-back. With my whole family from New York and Florida visiting for the summer that week, our house was packed and my hands were full.
However, I still managed to get a few Minecraft (Gabriel’s choice of party theme) details in the party. I got a few green, brown and black party sign, buntings, matching utensils and table covers from Party City and my sister Maria made and designed a totally awesome and delicious chocolate Creeper cake!
I also had the birthday boy wear his Minecraft shirt.
GameTruck Party
So, here’s my honest review of Game Truck Party. First, I want to say that this party was totally stress-free. Our party was scheduled to start at11:30am until 1:30pm. The Game Truck Party truck pulled up in front of our house about half an hour before the start time and everything was already set up for the kids to play video games in the truck at exactly 11:30am.
The kids thought the truck was so cool with the giant HDTVs, consoles and all their favorite games! With Gabriel being a huge fan of Minecraft and Skylanders video games, this party was total heaven for him, which I was so happy about! 🙂
Our Game Party Truck party coordinator was very kind and helpful and was there for the entire party to supervise the kids. He showed the kids how to use or operate the video game gadgets and such.
We also invited a few ‘big kids’ to the party – my nephew (who is 21) and his friends enjoyed playing with the video games too, while Dan (my husband) and I were just as entertained watching the kids having fun in the cool party truck! 🙂
All in all, the Game Truck Party party really lived up to our expectations. Not only did it help me throw a stress-free birthday party (all our guests didn’t have to be inside our house the whole time), it also made for a fun, memorable event for my son Gabriel, his friends and our whole family! The only complaint by this birthday boy? Two hours wasn’t enough for playing his favorite video games, lol. If I could have a personal suggestion for Game Truck Party, it is to have an option for customers to add an hour or two to the 2 hour party time limit. Still, we would do another GameTruck Party in the future! Everything was awesome from start to finish!
