So I’m planning a surprise birthday for my 10-year-old next month, and he's absolutely obsessed with gaming — Fortnite, FIFA, the usual suspects. We’ve done the trampoline park, the bowling, even hired a magician once, but this year I wanted to do something totally new. A friend briefly mentioned something about a gaming bus that comes to you, but she didn’t remember the name. Does anyone around Colchester know if there’s actually a service like that? And if so, is it worth it? I’m all in for making it fun, but I just want to make sure it’s not one of those things that sounds amazing online but turns out “meh” in real life.      

Oh yeah, we did something similar last summer for my son’s party and honestly, it was a total game-changer. The kids were glued to the screens inside, and the best part was that we didn’t have to clean anything up afterward — the whole setup stays in the van. If you're looking for a service like that around Colchester, I’d suggest checking out this Gaming Van . They’ve got PlayStations, Switches, loads of multiplayer games, and even an outdoor screen for dancing games and VR. My only regret was not booking it for a longer time because the kids didn’t want it to end!      

Saw this thread and just had to say — I walked by one of those gaming vans the other weekend while walking the dog. Looked like a total party inside, flashing lights, kids cheering. Never heard of it before that, but it definitely caught my eye. If I was still 10, I’d be begging my parents for that at my party.
