GameTruck, Skylanders Trap Team in Deal
GameTruck Licensing announced that it will bring Skylanders Trap Team, the newest installment to the Skylanders franchise, to fans this summer through a nationwide tour with Activision Publishing. The Skylanders Trap Team First-to-Play Tour is a three-month, five market mobile marketing campaign that kicked off on July 24 at San Diego Comic-Con and will end in late October. For each leg of the tour, a Skylanders-branded trailer will be converted into a mobile theater, providing fans one of the first hands-on gameplay opportunities before the official launch of Skylanders Trap Team on October 5 in North America. Other stops on the tour include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, and New York.
GameTruck has partnered with Skylanders for the last three years for the launch of each game in the franchise, including Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure and Skylanders Giants. For launch of Skylanders SWAP Force, every GameTruck location featured hands-on gameplay and giveaways.

Be the cool Mom with a GameTruck Party
GameTruck Arlington hosted a party for Dawn, The Frugal Mom, in mid-June 2014. Owners since 2011, David and Kim Richardson were able to coordinate a great event for Dawn and her guests. The GameCoach did a great job making sure all gamers were having fun and the parents had a chance to relax outside the Game Theater, making it the easiest (and coolest) party” Dawn had ever thrown. Dawn came away from the event with great feedback on how easy and cool (both in a fun way and an air-conditioned way!) her GameTruck party was.
Dawn, the voice behind The Frugal Mom, is a mother of three in Fort Worth, TX. The Frugal Mom posts about ways to save with deals and coupons, as well as everything from recipes, travel stories to product reviews and giveaways.

Summer is here and the hot sun is upon us! Last week, we invited our friends out for a Game Truck Party! It was the talk of the school, and though I had heard about a game truck, it was nothing like seeing it in your front yard and then… getting inside!
Setting up the Game Truck Party was quick and easy:
- First you call your local Game Truck franchise and choose your preferred date and time. Make sure you know where you’ll have the Game Truck park – it takes up about 60 feet of space. You can have the truck park anywhere – your home, your office or at the park!
- Soon after initial set up, you will receive a confirmation email from the company, with information on sending branded invites and details.
- Monitor the RSVP’s so you can plan accordingly. Then, sit back and wait for the big day! It really is that easy!
The Game Truck arrived at our house, and I was excited to be invited inside first… before any child could have a look. The party attendant was quick to explain the games available, and answered any questions I had about ratings or experience level. I was asked if I wanted to remove the mature games as playable options, and I did. I appreciated the fact that I went inside first… none of the children even knew those mature games were an option and no one had to be the “bad guy” by removing them in front of children! Read more…
