This is one of the most common questions parents ask before booking a game truck — and it is a completely fair one. Before you book entertainment for 15 kids, you want to know whether the games in that truck are actually going to hold their attention.
What Consoles Are in the Truck?
GameNextDoor’s mobile game truck runs PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC gaming stations. The truck has its own high-speed internet connection, so online multiplayer modes work the same as they do at home — not limited to local split-screen.
Competitive Multiplayer — Most Requested
- Fortnite (PS5/Xbox/PC) — consistently the most requested game across all age groups 10 and up
- NBA 2K (PS5/Xbox) — popular with sports-oriented groups
- FIFA / EA Sports FC (PS5/Xbox) — strong with soccer-loving South Florida demographics
- Madden NFL (PS5/Xbox) — popular for football-focused groups
- Rocket League (PS5/PC) — competitive option accessible for non-gamers
Racing and Simulation
- Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) — paired with VIP Package racing simulator setup
- Forza Horizon (Xbox) — open-world racing, popular with teens
- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Nintendo Switch) — accessible for all ages, excellent for mixed-skill groups
Family-Friendly and Younger Kids
- Minecraft (multiple platforms) — popular with ages 7-12, good for less experienced gamers
- Just Dance (Nintendo Switch) — popular at parties with mixed-energy groups
- Super Smash Bros Ultimate (Nintendo Switch) — competitive but accessible across ages

Action and Adventure
- Spider-Man 2 (PS5) — popular with the 8-14 age group

VR Games — VIP Package Only
The VIP Package adds VR headsets with a curated selection of VR experiences designed to work in a party context — immersive, short-session games that let multiple guests cycle through. The racing simulator and flight simulator are particularly popular.
| How the Game Coach Manages Game SelectionBefore the event starts, the Game Coach assesses the age range and energy level of the group.Games are organized to match — competitive multiplayer for older kids, accessible titles for mixed groups.If a specific game is requested in advance, the Game Coach confirms availability and prioritizes it.Games can switch throughout the event based on what the group is responding to.The Game Coach prevents any individual from monopolizing consoles — everyone gets fair rotation time. |
Can You Request Specific Games?
Yes. If your child has a specific game they want at the party, mention it when you book. The Game Coach will confirm it is in the library and prioritize it in the rotation. The truck is pre-loaded with the full library, so there is no need to bring anything — but specific requests are welcome and usually accommodated.
What If Kids Do Not Play Video Games?
- Accessible titles like Mario Kart and Rocket League have almost no learning curve — non-gamers can participate competitively within minutes
- The Game Coach is specifically trained to onboard first-time players — they will not be left out
- Pairing the truck with an outdoor activity (foam party, inflatables) gives non-gaming guests an alternative zone
