I just wanted to extend a big thank you for the fantastic service provided for our booking on the 5th of July.
From the moment of booking to the day of the event, everything was smooth and professional. A special shout-out to Sam, who was incredibly supportive and friendly—especially when the kids needed a bit of help.
Both the children and the adults had an amazing day.

What a great party
What a great party! My son’s 10th party and 14 kids had the best time on the Gaming Bus. Danny was fantastic and they were kept entertained with all the various games on the bus. Would thoroughly recommend. An easy party to have with little effort and interaction needed from the parents. I managed to relax and enjoy a cuppa whilst the kids played on the bus. Which rarely happens at a party! Thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend!

my sons 9th birthday - gaming bus
Arrived early in order to set up before the children arrived for my son’s party.
The gentleman was super nice, had the patience of a saint whilst there were 15 kids over excited!
My son had the best 9th birthday party & his friends didn’t stop telling their parents about it.
Couldn’t recommend this company anymore if I tried!
Thank you to the whole team, from start to finish you’ve been amazing.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. As a team, we know how important it is to understand and support children with ASD – my own son is on the spectrum, so it’s something very close to my heart. It means a lot to hear that David’s approach made a positive difference on the day.
We’re so pleased everyone enjoyed their time on the Essex Gaming Bus, and I’ll make sure David sees your kind words – he’ll be thrilled. Thank you again for recommending us.
“Best party ever!”
The gaming bus was everything my son and his friends (10 year olds) had hoped for. “Best party ever!” Joe and Darren were brilliant, they were in contact before they arrived, set it all up smoothly and ran the party so it was stress free and made sure they all had a go on whatever they wanted. Highly recommend!!

Gaming Bus super hit
Gaming bus was a big hit at my 9 year olds party. George kept and managed all of the children (including various younger and older siblings) without any problems. Good mixture of games that the children liked including dual racing and also VR experience.
