FAQS

WHAT IS A GAMING VAN?

A gaming van is a purpose-built mobile gaming lounge packed with the latest consoles, large screens, racing simulators, immersive lighting and comfortable seating. We bring the complete gaming experience directly to your doorstep or venue

HOW MANY PLAYERS CAN TAKE PART?

Our gaming van can accommodate groups of gamers playing across our gaming stations and professional racing simulators, making it perfect for parties and group events.

IS THE GAMING EXPERIENCE AGE-APPROPRIATE?

Absolutely. We recommend that players are aged 7 or over and are at least in First Class at school. We tailor the game selection to suit the players and ensure all content is age-appropriate, following PEGI age ratings. Parents and guardians can also request specific games or restrict content as needed.

WHAT KIND OF SPACE IS NEEDED FOR THE VAN?

The van is equipped with Starlink satellite internet to provide connectivity in most locations. However, depending on coverage at your venue, access to local Wi-Fi may be required as a backup.

We recommend confirming Wi-Fi availability at your venue beforehand to help ensure a seamless gaming experience.

IS THE GAMING VAN SAFE AND SECURE?
