GameTruck Makes Party Planning Easy
GameTruck North Tarrant County hosted a party for Jana, one of the bloggers behind Thirty-One:10 a collaborative blog inspired by Proverbs 31:10 that covers a wide variety of topics and is written by a group of women in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
William Slattery, owner since 2011, made sure Jana found her GameTruck party easy to plan and host. The GameCoach set up everything and was ready to go fifteen minutes before the event was supposed to start to ensure Jana had a chance to review the games before letting guests come in. A party that half celebrated the beginning of summer and half celebrated her nephew’s birthday, the only downside was the Jana didn’t get to spend more time in the theater playing!
We had so much fun at our party and I’m seriously debating a moms night out now because I’m a little jealous I didn’t get to spend the two hours playing video games!

What could be sweeter than an easy to plan party? Getting to experience it for free so I could tell you all about it! Guess what? You also get a chance to win a free party at the end of this post.GameTruck knows how the party and how to take the stress off your party planning.
We put our party on the calendar for the first day of summer for all my friends kiddos and as a special treat for my nephew who celebrated turning 6 this week! The truck was set up and ready to go 15 minutes before the party started so I got to check it out a little before all the kids came pouring in and my nephew, the birthday boy, got to pick the game he wanted to play. He got to play a game solo before all the guests showed up. The only negative of being the hostess of this part is I really wanted to sit down and play which I did until the kids started showing up and I decided to be an adult again. That’s also when I decided this wouldn’t just make a great kids party but what a fun bachelor party or even moms night out. Read more…
How to have a successful @GameTruckHQ Party
GameTruck North Dallas hosted a party for Courtney Solstad, the voice of MyCRAZYSavings in late May. Owner since 2012, Ryan Lee helped make sure the event was ready to start smoothly. The GameCoach was patient and made sure every guest had what they needed to have a great time playing games. Courtney was surprised by how much her girls enjoyed the party. From the technology to the very helpful GameCoach, Courtney and her guests has a great time.
This was seriously the EASIEST party that I have ever thrown! Our GameTruck party host was awesome with the kids. He was very patient. He set the rules before they got into the truck and was very helpful and patient with the kids during the party!

Summer is coming and it’s time to rev up the FUN! This week we got to invite tons of our friends to come and enjoy a Game Truck Party with us! My girls love playing on the iPads, computers and Wii, but I had NO clue how popular this party would be!
Here is how to have a successful Game Truck Party:
- Call your local Game Truck franchise and set up date/time.
- Wait for the confirmation email from Gametruckparty.com and use the included link in that email to send out invites to your friends and family.
- Plan WHERE you want the truck to park during the party. (I chose a park nearby which had tons of room for the truck and parents to park as well. This truck is around 60 ft long.
- Enjoy not having to do a thing while the kids play for two hours!
This truck is packed with technology! Think XBOX360®, Nintendo WiiT and Playstation®! We invited kids who ranged in age from 6 to 10. This was seriously the EASIEST party that I have ever thrown! Our GameTruck party host was awesome with the kids. He was very patient. He set the rules before they got into the truck and was very helpful and patient with the kids during the party! Read More…
GameTruck Pledges Another Year of Support to Make-A-Wish® – Announces August Month of Giving Campaign
Tempe, Arizona(July 25, 2013)- Following our first year of support for Make-A-Wish, which culminated in more than $15,000 donated in 2012, GameTruck Licensing, LLC, a leader in video game entertainment, pledges their continued support to Make-A-Wish and its mission to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. GameTruck, the original and only patented mobile video game theater, will align with Make-A-Wish through May 2014, supporting the Make-A-Wish vision of granting every eligible child’s wish. GameTruck franchise owners have pledged to participate in Make-A-Wish chapter events throughout the year. Because of its initial success as a campaign last year, GameTruck will again host a “Month of Giving”, this year launching on August 1st and continuing throughout the month. During the "Month of Giving” campaign, Game Truck will donate $20 for each party booked during the month, up to a cap of $380 per trailer.
“We are extremely proud of the work we did with Make-A-Wish last year,” said Scott Novis, founder and CEO of GameTruck. “Not only did we make a considerable financial contribution, but our GameTruck parties helped bring smiles to these children’s faces and helped them escape in our video game world for a few hours, which was priceless.”
GameTruck offers a premier party experience for both children and adults in an interactive, multiplayer environment accommodating at least 16 players. GameTruck trailers are equipped with more than three dozen of the latest multiplayer video games and all the major video game consoles (XBOX360®, Nintendo Wii™ and PlayStation®). A GameCoach manages each event, promoting fair, interactive play. A standard GameTruck party consists of two hours of play for ages 6 and up; 16-20 players can compete in the trucks interior. Just like at home, GameTruck parents can look through the library and take out what they deem unacceptable for their kids.
“For Make-A-Wish, companies like GameTruck are essential to fulfilling our wish-granting mission,” said David Williams, president and chief executive officer of Make-A-Wish America. “GameTruck goes above and beyond to create wish experiences that make life more enjoyable for wish kids and their families.”
