The Right Level Of Gaming Party for you

​

​60 minutes, 90 minutes or 2hrs?....

 

A 60 minute party can often be too short if the children are gamers however if its something new for them, then 60 minutes could be just perfect. 

​

​A 90 minute party is our most popular length party, it seems to suit the majority of groups perfectly. Not too short and not too long. The kids usually go from start to finish without the need for a break. Kids who are regular gamers (daily) would suit a 90 minute party the best as they often know the games they like and can be more reluctant to play games outside of their preferences.

 

A 2hr party can often suit the non gamers well, kids who don't get to game on a daily basis, as it can often all be so new to them that 90 minutes just isn't enough to fit in all the games and equipment! However 2 hours can also be slightly too longer. 

​

Please don't hesitate to call us for advice on the length of party you should go for.

​

How many friends shall we invite?

​

Our max of 10 kids works well for the vast majority of groups with some Solo play (one person per screen) and some Multiplayer (2 per screen) For some games there is no downsides to multiplayer and the kids can often prefer it as they are playing directly with a friend, this type of play can often be the most fun! 

 

However, if the birthday child and their friends wish to have the ultimate choice with less multiplayer and more solo play, and as close to a screen each as possible then simply reduce the number of invitees by 1 or 2. This can be the case for age 11, age 12 and age 13 parties more than any other age group.

 

 

Remember, you're booking for YOUR child

​

We always try to prioritise the birthday child as much as possible but here's 2 other sensible reasons to consider reducing numbers from our maximum of 10 kids.

 

1, If your child is of a more quiet nature than their friends. By reducing numbers slightly the birthday child can feel more involved and less overwhelmed by their loud and sometimes demanding friends, resulting in a more enjoyable party for the birthday child. 

 

2, Children with different Special Educational Needs often attend our parties. If anyone attending struggles to deal with compromise, strongly needs to control their own environment or can get upset if they feel they're not having all choices their way and immediate, then yes we'd certainly advise reducing numbers. Or could suffer a dislike to loud noise (caused by the enjoyment from the other kids) or may feel uncomfortable in small spaces.

 

Please tell us upon enquiring so we can advise as needed from the start. Also please don't make a common mistake that we see a lot that although there are children attending where less numbers would be needed they go for max numbers but have the children's parents stay so 'on hand if needed' this doesn't work unfortunately as the parents aren't watching so provide no assistance to our operator from inside the house.
