Options and what is standard
Game truck options, and the parts nobody photographs
We weld the frame, run the wiring and finish the interior ourselves, in our own shop in Tampa, Florida.
That is why the hundredth one comes out like the first. Here is what comes standard, and everything you can add.
Standard on every build, at no extra cost
What every one of them comes with
Everything below comes on every gaming theater we build. The options after it are genuine additions, not features held back to pad a quote.
- One console per screen.
- Not consoles shared across screens. Every television has its own, so each gaming station can run a different game at the same time and nobody waits their turn. Newest generation, and you mix and match whichever consoles you want.
- Two speakers at every screen.
- Angled to put each gamer in their own cocoon of sound, with the volume at each screen controlled on its own. Four groups play four different games without shouting over each other.
- 7.5 ft, floor to ceiling.
- On every model. Adults stand up straight, and a full trailer stops feeling like a full trailer. We publish our standard interior height. Ask any builder for theirs.
- Measured honestly.
- 16, 20 or 24 ft of interior gaming space depending on the model. That is floor you can walk on, not the number that includes the tongue.
- Generator, plug and play.
- A portable generator sized to your build, with wheels and remote start, comes with every gaming theater. Roll it out, hit the button, run your event. Tongue-mount it, or have us build interior storage for it.
- Shore power.
- Plenty of venues will not let you run a generator. Every unit plugs into a standard wall outlet, so those bookings stay bookable.
- Never carpet.
- Depending on the build, an industrial suede-feel textile or a wipe-clean vinyl. Both dampen sound so nobody is gaming inside a noisy aluminum box. One of them survives a birthday party.
Also standard: breaker box, trailer brakes on both axles, and air conditioning sized to the trailer. A full 360 degree custom exterior wrap in your branding.
A three-dimensional ceiling, with beams spaced for the biggest screens. Your choice of 25 interior colors, and seating for four at every screen.
Heating is an option, not standard. It is in the list below.
On every build right now
The upgraded sound system, included
Every trailer we build right now gets the upgraded sound system at no charge.
It is a $2,400 option: Bluetooth, CD, USB and thumb drive, playing through the trailer separately from the screens.
The speakers at each screen give every gamer their own cocoon of sound.
This gives the whole trailer one. It is the difference between a room where kids are gaming and a party you can hear from the driveway.
Ask about it when you call, because this will not run forever.
Options worth taking
Fifteen things we install, each quoted in writing
These are built into the trailer and stay with it.
- Onboard generator, one piece fire resistant enclosure.
- Built into the trailer inside a one piece fire resistant enclosure, with a 20 gallon tank, a start and stop switch and an hour meter. Nothing to load in and out at every event.
- Exterior TVs.
- Screens outside the trailer. Each one adds four players on any model. Up to two on the Mini Adventurer take 12 players to 20 in total. Up to two on the Gamers Paradise take 16 to 24, and up to three on the Gamers Utopia take 20 to 32.
- Extra consoles per screen.
- Up to two more consoles on a single screen, three in all, for tournament nights.
- Racing simulator station.
- A seat, wheel, pedals, its own screen and console, and the full VR setup. Older kids and adults will line up for this at a party where they would walk past another controller. It opens up corporate events and festivals a birthday setup cannot quote for.
- Flight simulator station.
- Same idea, different chair. Yoke, throttle, its own screen and console, and the full VR setup.
- Karaoke.
- Opens up adult parties, weddings and corporate events.
- Rock stage.
- Turns the back of the trailer into a stage. Festivals, schools, fundraisers.
- Motorized awning.
- Shade, and a defined footprint outside the trailer.
- Satellite dish.
- Live sports on every screen. Opens up tailgates and game-day bookings you cannot take otherwise.
- Security cameras.
- Eyes on the interior, and on the trailer when it is parked.
- Reverse backup lights.
- Backing a trailer into a dark driveway is a weekly problem.
- Stabilizer jacks.
- Level and steady on a sloped driveway.
- Underglow lighting.
- LED wash beneath the trailer. At a night event it is the thing people photograph and post.
- Tire pressure monitoring.
- A blowout on the interstate costs you the booking and the tire.
- Heating.
- Air conditioning is standard on every build. Heating is an option.
And two things you sell at the event
These are not fitted to the trailer. They are equipment an owner takes to a booking to raise what the booking is worth, which is a different decision from specifying a build.
- Laser tag.
- A second thing to sell at a booking you already have. It runs outside the trailer, so it keeps the line busy and lifts the price of the party rather than the price of the trailer.
- Bumper balls.
- Same idea, younger crowd and a bigger footprint. Owners use it to turn a two hour birthday into a longer, better paid booking.
Up to two simulator stations can go into any of our gaming theaters. How much room that leaves depends on the model and the rest of your build.
Tell us what you are picturing and we will lay it out with you.
If simulators are the whole point rather than an addition, look at the racing simulator and VR builds instead.
Those are a 16 ft trailer starting at $47,950, with two racing simulators inside and one exterior gaming station.
Every simulator carries its own TV, console and VR headset, plus a seat, wheel, shifter and pedals, all in the price.
You can add more sims inside or more stations outside, and the price moves with the configuration.
Which options pay for themselves first
The order most owners wish they had bought in
Every option on this page is worth having. Not every option is worth having in year one.
- Buy first: exterior TVs.
- On a Mini Adventurer this takes you from twelve players inside to twenty in total, which means you stop turning down the bigger birthday parties. It lets you take bookings you would otherwise have to say no to.
- Buy first: onboard generator.
- A generator you load and unload at every single event is a chore that gets old in about six weekends. Built in, in a one piece fire resistant enclosure, it disappears from your day.
- Buy first: stabilizer jacks and backup lights.
- The kind of thing nobody photographs. A dark driveway and a sloped driveway are both weekly problems, and both are solved permanently.
- Buy second: a second thing to sell.
- Karaoke or a rock stage goes on the trailer, and laser tag and bumper balls go with you to the event. Each one lets you charge more at a booking you already have, or opens up adult and corporate events you currently cannot quote for.
- Buy second: satellite dish.
- Live sports on every screen turns tailgates and game days into bookable events, which fills weekends that birthdays do not.
- Buy when you can: underglow.
- Pure marketing, and it works. At a night event the underglow is the thing people photograph and post, and in this business somebody else's photograph is your next booking.
None of this is a hard sell. If we do not think an option suits how you plan to work, we will say so.
A thank you
Military, first responders and educators
If you serve or you have served, if you run toward the emergency, or if you teach, we take something off the price.
How much depends on the build, so call and tell us which model you are looking at.
We will put the number in your quote. It comes off the same published price everyone else pays, not off a marked-up one.
Questions buyers ask about options
Questions buyers ask about options
Can options be added after delivery?
Many can, though some are far cheaper to build in from the start because they touch the wiring or the walls. Ask before you decide to defer something, because the answer differs by option.
Are options quoted before you build?
Always, and in writing. You will never receive an invoice with a number on it you have not already agreed to.
Can I choose my own console brands?
Yes. Every screen gets its own console and you mix and match whichever you want, rather than being told what to buy.
What is standard versus what is an option?
Everything in the standard list comes on every build at no extra cost. That includes the portable generator, the wrap, the air conditioning and the two speakers at every screen that carry the television audio.
The upgraded sound system is a separate thing. It is radio, Bluetooth, amplifiers and extra speakers playing through the whole trailer. Normally $2,400, and currently included at no charge.
The options are genuine additions, not things withheld to pad the quote.
Comparing the models rather than the options? All three mobile video game trucks side by side, with every spec and every starting price.
Not sure which options are worth it in your market?
Ask, and we will tell you which ones we would skip
Nobody here is paid to add things to your build. If an option will not earn its money back where you operate, you will hear that.
