Okay so here’s the thing — my younger brother is turning 11 soon, and we're thinking of doing something different for his party this year. Last time we went to a trampoline park, but this time he asked if we could get one of those game buses he saw outside his friend’s school. He’s super into Fortnite and Minecraft, but I’m not sure how many kids can actually play at the same time? I don’t want half of them just standing around watching. Anyone had experience with that kind of setup? Would love to hear how it works with bigger groups, like 12-15 kids.

We had something like that for my nephew’s party not too long ago, and I get what you're saying. We had around 14 kids and honestly, it worked out better than I expected. They’ve got space inside for about 12 to play at once — some were on Xbox, others on PS5, and a few on the Switch. The Fortnite matches were definitely the highlight; I think they had it set up so 12 could jump into a private match together. You can check all the details on the Gaming Bus
page — it breaks down the equipment and multiplayer setup really clearly. It’s nice that they rotate the kids in and out too, so no one feels left out for long.

Funny timing — I just saw one of these buses at a community fair over the weekend. They had all the doors open and you could see the lights and kids going crazy inside. Looked like something out of a sci-fi movie. Didn’t go in myself but the energy around it was kinda awesome. Definitely a cool party option.
