End-of-season parties for teams

Up to 28, yes — twenty inside on cushioned stadium benches across eight 4K screens, and eight more at the outdoor stations under the awning. Twenty-eight is the ceiling rather than a fixed number, because it depends on what the group is playing: a four-player game puts four on one screen, a racing or head-to-head game puts two, and a single-player title puts one. The Game Coach picks games to keep as many hands on controllers as possible, and rotates whoever is waiting. What matters in practice is the comparison — most game trucks in the valley cap out around 20 in total, so a third of their party is watching no matter what gets loaded.

We do — two 32-foot trailers, each carrying the same equipment and each seating up to 28 gamers at once. Most parties only ever need one. The second matters in two situations: a crowd bigger than 28 at a time, and a weekend that would otherwise be full, because two rigs mean twice as many slots in a day.

Almost certainly. We need roughly 55 feet of flat, hardened space for truck and trailer together, usually on the street at the end of your driveway. Very steep streets are the one thing that stops us — and if yours will not work, we will happily set up at a nearby park, church or lot instead. Worth telling the neighbours we are coming.

The trailer is insulated and climate controlled — air conditioned through summer, heated through winter — so 110 and 40 feel the same inside. The only exception is genuinely dangerous weather: storms, lightning, high winds or flooding. If the coach has to cancel before the party starts, you get a free reschedule or a refund.

Yes, and you should if it matters to you. The library runs from E to M ratings. Tell the Game Coach before the event starts that you want E-rated only — nothing with shooting, fighting or violence — and that is what gets loaded. It has to be before we start so we know what to leave out.
