Be home
We arrive early, set up, run the whole thing, and pack it out. Your list is empty.
A 30-foot gaming theater, not an ordinary game truck.
Step inside and it's a climate-controlled theater built for 20 players. Five big screens, every major console running at once, luxury gamer chairs, LED lighting, and surround sound tuned to their playlist. It runs on its own onboard generator, so there's nothing to plug in and nowhere for you to drive.
Your Event Manager takes over the moment we arrive. They get the birthday star and their whole crew settled inside and run it start to finish. The party lives in the theater, which means your house stays exactly as clean as it is right now.

Their games. Their crew. Their two hours.
Five stations, four controllers each, so twenty of them play at the same time. No queue, no waiting a turn on one screen, nobody stuck watching.
Xbox, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch all running at once, with the full library on board. Before the party you tell us what's allowed and what's off the table, and the birthday star picks their favorites from what's left. Their music on the speakers, their games on every screen, and an Event Manager who keeps all twenty of them in it.

"Awesome party for my 13 year old. Datamount was a terrific game host. Great communication before the party and day off. Definitely worth paying for travel to have them come to Arlington."H B, June 2026

One booking. Two very different afternoons.

"We had an amazing experience with Next Level gaming. Daryl was kind, helpful, and WONDERFUL with our group of 20, rowdy 10 year olds. He helped all of them pick their games, play the games, and kept them happy and entertained the entire party. Next level gaming had the best communications I have ever experienced for a birthday party. I was able to book online, and then received several emails in the weeks prior to my event to answer any questions I had. A few days before my party I got a super detailed email explaining how everything would work to include when the truck would arrive, how much space is needed, internet needs, and how to provide a tip if you wanted to leave one. The day of the party, Daryl called me to give me an ETA on his arrival so I knew exactly when he would arrive. The entire process was extremely easy to reserve, required no clean-up or set-up, and all of the kids had a blast in the truck. I highly recommend using Next Level Gaming if you are looking for a game truck!"Natalie Romanoff, May 2026
"I absolutely recommend this service. The attendant QA went above and beyond for his service and came early , made sure there was a rotation and made sure there was positive vibes. The truck was awesome and very clean. Was checked in before and after with the party host to give special accommodation for the birthday kids. Thank you"Teri Isaacs, July 2026
"Jacob from Next Level Gaming absolutely knocked it out of the park hosting my son's 12th birthday party. From start to finish, he was professional, organized, and made the entire experience effortless for us as parents. He kept the kids engaged the whole time, made sure everyone felt included, and created an atmosphere that was exciting, fun, and completely stress-free. The setup was awesome, the games ran smoothly, and the kids are still talking about how much fun they had. If you're looking for a unique party experience that kids will never forget, I highly recommend Jacob and Next Level Gaming. We will definitely be booking agsin!"Scott copinger, February 2026
"What a blast! We had the gaming truck for a 10 year old birthday party at our house and everything was great! Casey was our host, and he was super responsive and engaged and easy to work with. We highly recommend Next Level Gaming if you love gaming or want to host a party!"Anne McDermott, March 2026
"Jacob was an awesome party host! He arrived on time, was flexible and fun! We had our daughter's 10th bday on this gaming truck and the kids had a blast! Thank you Jacob and Next Level!!"Jill Rupp, February 2026
Questions before you book.
Can you really do this in a few days?
If the calendar above shows a theater open, it's open. Those slots are live, not a waitlist.
Will it fit at my place?
You need about 65 feet of flat, level space, roughly four car lengths. After you book we review your exact spot with you and plan parking together.
When will I know for sure you can be there?
Your request lands with our team marked urgent. The first person who sees it either confirms you or reaches out, and during business hours that can be a matter of minutes.
"Everything was perfect! The company was extremely communicative from start to finish. Juwaun contacted me when he was on his way here and was situated outside and ready for the party 15 minutes ahead. It couldn't have been smoother or easier. A great solution for a tween or teen party!"Christine Virgin, May 2026
Do I have time to think about it?
The moment you book, that spot is blocked while a team member reviews it. Once they confirm, the deposit is what locks it in for good. If you go quiet on us we have to release it to the next person, so we'll be working on the assumption that you're ready to roll.
What if it rains?
The theater is fully enclosed and climate-controlled, 10 degrees or 100. We stay home for one reason, when local weather services strongly recommend against driving.
Do I have to run any of it?
No. Your Event Manager runs every minute, setup to teardown. You're a guest at your own party.
What ages is it for?
Gold and Diamond are built for ages 7 and up. Power Hour welcomes gamers 6 and up. Platinum is recommended for ages 10 and up.
How does the deposit work?
50% holds your date and the balance is due 24 hours before. That's the whole payment.
