Everything you need to know about booking a video game truck party, bouncy castle rental, or inflatable entertainment in Barrie, Ontario and Simcoe County.
What does a gaming truck party cost in Barrie, Ontario?+
Barrie falls in our Zone 3 service area with a $100 travel surcharge.
Party pricing is $329 + travel + HST for a 90-minute weekday session, $399 + travel + HST for 2 hours,
and $699 + travel + HST for 4 hours. Weekend rates are $399, $499, and $799,
all plus travel and HST. Same rate no matter where you are in Barrie, from Allandale to the East End.
How many players can use the gaming truck at once in Barrie?+
15 kids gaming simultaneously across multiple stations. If your event draws a bigger crowd, we rotate players so everyone cycles through.
Around 10 to 12 at a time gives every kid the most hands-on gaming time.
Can the gaming truck park at a Barrie residence?+
In nearly every case. The truck measures about 32 feet (roughly 3 to 3.5 car lengths).
Most Barrie homes in Holly, Painswick, Ardagh Bluffs, and the South End have driveways that handle it comfortably.
If your driveway is snug, we park on the road or in a nearby lot. For condo or townhome parties near the downtown waterfront by Kempenfelt Bay,
check with building management beforehand.
What gaming systems are on the Barrie truck?+
PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 1 and Nintendo Switch 2, and VR systems across Meta Platforms.
The game library has 250+ titles spanning sports, racing, action, adventure, and party games.
If there is a game your kid is requesting, tell us at booking and it will be ready to go.
Does the gaming truck handle Barrie winters?+
Without breaking a sweat. Full heating and A/C keep the truck at the ideal temperature, and Barrie gets some of the coldest weather in the region
thanks to the lake effect off Kempenfelt Bay. Inside, it is surround sound, LED lighting, and limo-style seating — your kids will forget it is January.
Is there a party host on board for Barrie events?+
Always. Our dedicated Game Coach travels with the truck to every Barrie party and takes care of everything
from console setup to game selection to keeping the rotation moving. Parents can relax.
Note: children under 5 need a parent or guardian present in addition to the Coach.
What types of events can I book the gaming truck for in Barrie?+
Birthdays, school fairs, church picnics, sports team celebrations, corporate events, bar and bat mitzvahs, grad parties, and community festivals.
We’ve worked backyards in Holly, events at Centennial Park along the waterfront, and school parking lots across the city.
If people are gathering in Barrie, we can be there.
Is the Barrie gaming truck appropriate for all age groups?+
Yes. Younger kids (5 to 8) play Mario Kart, Just Dance, and co-op titles. Teens get competitive multiplayer, VR, sports sims, and racing games.
Tell us the age breakdown for your Barrie party and we’ll dial in the perfect game selection before arriving.
Does the gaming truck have WiFi for online play?+
Yes. Onboard WiFi supports online multiplayer gaming and tournaments. Signal strength across Barrie has been reliable and consistent.
How far in advance should I book a Barrie gaming truck party?+
At least 2 to 3 weeks for standard dates. Saturdays in May, June, September, and October are peak season and go fast,
so earlier is always better. Larger Barrie events like school fairs or community gatherings should aim for 4 to 6 weeks lead time.
What parts of Barrie does Gamers Getaway cover?+
Every neighbourhood — Allandale, Holly, Ardagh Bluffs, Painswick, East End, North Barrie, South Barrie, the downtown waterfront,
Letitia Heights, and everywhere in between. Barrie is Zone 3 with a $100 travel surcharge.
We also serve Innisfil, Orillia, and broader Simcoe County.
Can I add a bouncy castle or inflatables to my Barrie party?+
For sure. Gaming truck inside, bouncy castle or inflatable slide outside is one of our most requested combos for Barrie events.
It keeps the whole guest list occupied the entire time. Get in touch and we’ll bundle it into a single Barrie party package.
