Amazing gaming party yesterday. The tent is great: lots of visual impact and super spacious… it fit 15 kids easily and even my 6’ 5” husband could stand in it. Several consoles were made available, as was a VR headset. The guy who ran our party was efficient, kind, super friendly and attentive to the kids as they were gaming, as well as if help was needed. Everyone was blown away by the party and the birthday boy was thrilled. Thank you!

Hello. Just to say a huge THANK YOU to you and John, the party host. All the children had a blast from start to finish. John was a star managing 20 full on kids. He was calm, patient and dealing with their needs. There was not one arguement between the children, amazing! The birthday boy, Daniel, loved the special day and all the extras including gaming annuals, sweets, birthday boy t-shirt and the Minion imflatable costume. Hilarious. We would highly recommend this company to host your parties!

We had my son’s birthday party yesterday and it was fantastic, everyone commented on what a great set up it was and Chris, our game master was excellent and full of knowledge. We ended up with about 23 rowdy kids and he definitely had his hands full but managed to keep them all busy. Even the non-gamers had a fantastic time and loved playing against eachother. Thank you so much!

I booked a gaming party for my son but unfortunately had to cancel the day before due to illness. The team were so helpful and made rearranging incredibly easy, offering lots of options with no hassle. On the day of the new party, we had John as our host, who was amazing. He arrived early and had everything set up and ready for when my son and his friends came in from school. He was professional, friendly, and really great with the kids, making sure everyone was happy 😃 👍 . Highly recommend. My son had the best 11th Birthday! Thank you, John and Pop Up Arcade.

We had pop up arcade for my son’s 8th birthday party today. The host was called Luke and he was absolutely brilliant. He arrived before with enough time to set up and was run ragged by the kids wanting to play different games etc but had so much patience and kept checking they were all ok. There are so many games to play, my son and his friends started playing on goat simulator which they haven’t played before and were in hysterics! The organisation of the parties is really good and communication is really good from the company. I love that the birthday child gets a personalised tshirt and they came with a massssive bag of sweets which was a brilliant bonus. It felt really personal. I can’t recommend this company enough, I can see us using them for parties over the years and some of my friends from today were so impressed they will use them for any gaming parties in the future too. Special thanks again to Luke who went the extra mile with effort today.
