Customer Reviews

Our son had the best 10th birthday party with steel city gamerz! Communication was top notch and Brad, the owner, was kind and respectful with the parents and children. We will recommend steel city gamerz to anyone for a fun, different, easy, and seamless party! Thanks again, what a wonderful party!!

We just had our son?s 8th birthday party with Steel City Gamerz! My son and his friends had a ball! Brad was awesome as usual (he also hosted my now 22 year olds 12th bday party! He came early to set up it was great

Best two hours for our neighborhood boys ages 6-9. Keep the mess and chaos out of the house. Brad was great with the kids. They only need the parents for bathroom breaks ??

Brad was easy to communicate with through email. He was prompt for the party and great with a large group of boys. The games kept the kids entertained and allowed for more players vs. having everyone take turns on one console in the house. The inside of the trailer was clean! I highly recommend for your next event!

My 9 year had the time of his life. Enjoyed every minute of it! Parents loved it, too! We were able to cheer them on as they were led into the gaming trailer, and then the door shut- and we had two hours of freedom while the kiddos played. Best. Party. Ever. For both parents and kids

Our 7 year old son, and his 15 buddies, were so excited to get inside the Steel City Gamerz Truck for his birthday party! Brad from Steel City Gamerz did not disappoint either! He knew exactly what the kids would like and rotated screens and games appropriately for the boys! Our son loved his video game truck party!

We had the mobile game truck for my son's birthday party. They showed up early to ensure plenty of time to set up, offered time for questions from the parents, reviewed the rules with the kids in a quick and easy to understand manner and the kids had an absolute blast playing games. I would highly recommend for any event where kids, especially video game enthusiasts, are present!

I booked Brad for a 10 year old birthday party. The booking process was easy, confirmation email about a week ahead of time, and he shows up before the party time to make sure everything is set up. Great variety of games and everything seemed to be in stellar condition. The boys really loved it. This was a slam dunk for fun. Thank you so much!

We got Steel City Gamerz truck for my son?s 12th birthday and it was a HUGE hit. The boys loved it as all kids were able to play games of their choice with their buddies. Brad was very flexible and super helpful with setting kids up on their games and helping them so they could fully enjoy the experience. Brad was also very helpful in answering any questions I had during the booking process. Highly recommend!

Such a fun experience! Highly recommend. Very easy to work with and the kids loved all the games. Would definitely book again!

We booked for an after school celebration at a middle school and it was a success. Brad was easy to work with and communicated with us all along the way. His equipment was in excellent condition and had plenty of choices for games to be played. The kids were running to get signed up for an open session after their turn was over. It was a fun and unique way to celebrate. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for something different and popular with older kids.

We hired Brad to come to our school for a student reward. He was on time and professional. Our students had a great time. We will be planning this again.

We loved using Steel City Gamerz Mobile Game Truck for our 6 year old's birthday party! Brad was great to work with - the only "work" required was booking the truck, and he made sure the kids had a great time. The parents all commented that the truck was pristine - super neat and clean (no shoes allowed!). The kids can't stop talking about how much fun they had. Thanks again!

We had the truck at the house yesterday for our son?s 7th birthday. Brad was there early to set up and got the kids in the truck right on time. The kids had an absolute blast and Brad was right, it was such an easy party! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun party idea! Thanks again!

Can't say enough good things about our experience with the gaming truck and Brad! Highly recommend for birthday parties! The truck was prompt, clean, and air conditioned! Tons of games to choose from. Kept the kids (ages 5-9) entertained!!

The bus was excellent! Brad arrived and checked in about parking and went through all options with perfect amount of time before the party. The bus was super clean! The kids had a blast and it was so easy as a parent! Excellent customer service!

My daughter and friends loved the Mobile Game Truck. What a great idea! Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Steel City Gamerz. Brad was excellent to work with. He communicated well and made sure the kids had a great time.

Steel City Gamerz was the best idea I ever to add to our Take Your Kid to Work day! The dunk tank and video game bus were a huge hit and the customer service was top notch!! Will definitely use again!!

My son's 8th birthday, we got the game truck. The kids had a blast! Mr. Brad was patient and informative. Would definitely recommend!

AWESOME from start to finish. Easiest birthday party I have planned in 9 years!!! Probably one of the most affordable too. Definitely the best service. Brad was very quick to respond to my initial request and all subsequent correspondence. The kids had a blast and the parents enjoyed a little break while boys played games. I will for sure be using Steel City Gamerz again!!! Thanks, Brad!!!!

Steel City Gamerz helped us host an incredible birthday party for my son?s 10th birthday with his 18-20 friends. The service was very professional and Brad was really easy to work with. He kept the kids busy and entertained. Highly recommend for anyone thinking of video gaming for birthdays or family events!

The truck was a huge hit for my 8 year olds birthday party ... It easily fit 20 kids of all ages in it .. it's actually much bigger inside than the outside pictures. Brad answered all of my emails and arrived 45 min or so before the party time to set up. The bus was very clean and sanitized when we went inside. Brad had 20 kids on his hands for almost 2 hours and handled them well (I came on and off the bus and stayed nearby ). The games and graphics are awesome and it made for an easy party. A great time w

Arrived early to set up and party started right on time. All the kids had a blast and Brad was very professional. He helped the kids get the games started/switched over as needed. Would definitely recommend.

Steel City Gamerz was amazing! The kids had a blast! Such a hassle free party! Brad was fantastic! We were very happy he did not jump the gun to cancel the party since we were expecting a winter storm. In true Pittsburgh fashion, the storm didn't show, but Brad did! Thanks so much for making our sons 10th birthday easy, stress free, and a total blast!

Brad was great and made the party prep effortless! The boys didn't leave the truck for the full 2 hours...they loved it! I heard several kids say it was the best party ever. The price is reasonable and pretty much the going rate for parties. It's a unique experience for the kids and easy planning for the parents! This is the 2nd time we have used Steel City Gamerz and I would highly recommend it as a party for a kid who loves video games!

Seriously the best birthday experience my son and his friends ever had. Brad was extremely friendly and fun and wer all loved him. The kids were in heaven getting to play the VR and variety of games. The truck was very roomy and comfortable. This is a very memorable event for everyone. I highly recommend Brad at Steel City Gamerz.

Had a really great experience with steel city gamerz for our sons 8th birthday party last weekend. All the kids had a blast.. Brad was a great host too. He had all the current games that the kids were into as well. Would highly recommend them to anyone.

I would recommend Steel City Gamerz to anyone who likes video games & is looking for a fun activity for a birthday party! Their truck is awesome & the service is impeccable. Brad took care of everything & he & the game truck held the attention of a bunch of grade school boys for 2 hours! They made my son's 9th birthday his most memorable yet!

Brad is very accommodating and easy to work with!! The kids had an absolute blast. We have used both the game truck and the dunk tank. We highly recommend using Steel City Gamerz for your events!!

Brad was awesome! Showed up in plenty of time to set up and be ready to go. Bus is so neat and clean, and with the reflective ceiling appears much bigger inside than on the outside. Plenty of room and tons of games. The kids had a great time and definitely created a great memory of our son?s 13th birthday. Highly recommended!!

We needed a creative and fun idea for a joint 9th birthday and Steel City Gamerz did not disappoint!! They came to our home, set up the laser tag "battlefield" and the kids had a blast!! The Coach was amazing and so patient with 14 sugared up kids! Everyone said it was the "best party they've ever been to"! Can't beat the price either!! Definitely a 5 star experience!! Can't wait for our next party to try out their gaming truck!

The booking process was very easy. Brad made the experience very pleasant and easy. The kids had a blast playing games in the truck. I recommend this experience.

So fun! The kids had the best time and it was the easiest party to plan! Thank you so much!

We rented a dunk tank from Steel City Gamerz for our company picnic and it was a huge hit! Jim and Brad were a pleasure to work with. So kind and communicative! We would love to work with them again in the future.

My son has wanted a Steel City Gamerz birthday party for the longest time, so for his thirteenth birthday, I decided that it was time! My only regret is waiting as long as I did! The truck alone is something to see, but inside?! Wow!! We had people stopping to ask about it, and the kids at school, per my son, are still talking about how amazing his party was. Thank you for making me look like a birthday party pro, Brad!

Hosted a birthday party with 16 ten year olds so you can imagine that we were a bit concerned on how this would go. The owner/operator, Brad, literally handles everything. He makes sure the kids have fun but runs a tight ship to ensure it doesn't become chaos at any point inside the truck. Our son and all of his friends couldn't have had a better time (although they probably would have taken a few more hours). Booking was easy on the SCG website. Brad was very responsive and made sure that our date worked.

My son and his friends had a blast. Brad was very kind and helpful! The truck has soooo many games to choose from. The kids could have stayed there all day, lol. I would recommend this to kids and adults. Me and some of my friends are thinking about renting the truck too! Great customer service and product!

Brad is FANTASTIC! He was extremely early (arriving before us.) He keeps the kids in check and also took great photos of the kids playing! This was by far the EASIEST party we've ever hosted. I highly recommend Steel City Gamerz!

They did a fantastic job for our camp of about 120 kids.

Brad ran a birthday party for us with 18, 9 year old kids. They were understandably excited and rowdy and he did a great job of keeping them calm and entertained. Everyone had a great time! Would definitely recommend!

I highly recommend Steel City Gamerz! Brad was early, organized and all the kids had a blast. The truck was outfitted with current technology, lighting and of course the games. The truck was clean and comfortable! A great experience for everyone. Thanks!

Brad was a great host and had a bunch of video games to choose from. The kids had a blast and it was definitely something outside of the box to do. Highly recommend!

We had our employee Holiday Party and brought in Steel City Gamerz and it was a BIG hit. The employees were excited to have something different and a little friendly competition went a long way! Thanks Brad

The staff did incredible job from the moment I sent my first email. The owner was very quick to respond and accommodating us with reserving the party date. The day of the party was amazing and the kids had a blast inside with the staff supervising while the adults relaxed! If I could give more stars I would! We will be using Steel City Gamerz in the further!

We had a great time renting the mobile game truck for my sons Birthday. Brad was so easy to work with and good with the kids! We will definitely rent from him again!

Great company to work with. They were on time and communication was easy. The students and staff had a lot of fun dunking the volunteers! Make sure where you are planning to have the tank you have access to a water source and a way to fill the tank (a hose).

This was our 2nd party with Steel City Gamerz! My boys love it and have had a blast with their friends both times! Brad is great, super easy to work with and very professional! Highly recommend!

Steel City Gamerz and Brad never disappoint. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've had his truck here for one of my boys parties. The Truck is amazing and he handles everything. It's literally the best money spent. I'd recommend this service 100 times over. He's amazing with the kids and never looses his cool (10-20 boys is what nightmares are made of) and he keeps it all under control. If you have a video game lover this is a no brainer!

We booked this for my son?s 9th birthday party. The kids had a great time! Lots of game choices! This was a great option not only because my son loves gaming, but if we would have gotten rain that day the party would still go smoothly. I would recommend for sure!

Wonderful experience all around!! Very clean and safe environment, all of the kids at my sons party had a blast!! Would HIGHLY recommend!! Thanks to brad and steelcity gamerz for a great day!!

Kids loved it and had a great time! Brad was very accommodating and professional.i would Highly recommend steel city gamerz for your child?s next birthday party.

I surprised my daughter for her birthday party and she could not believe it!! Everyone had a blast, even a few dad's and moms!! Would highly recommend and already have! She said it was her best party ever!! I loves that I could request kid friendly games too!!

Steel City Gamerz hosted a fantastic party for my son. Brad was prompt, professional, and great with the kids. Would recommended for any event...overall great experience! Thanks Brad and Steel City Gamerz!

We are not strangers to the Steel City Gamers Video Truck, as several of our daughter's friends have had this at their parties in the past! We knew this would be a great addition to Zaynah's 10th Birthday party at the Bridgeville Yofresh Frozen Yogurt Shop this past Saturday!!! There was not one single child that was not involved in the gaming fun! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING HER DAY SO SPECIAL!!!! We will be recommending this to everyone we know!

My 7 year old asked for a video game birthday party and Brad and Steel City Gamerz delivered. Communication was great. Brad answered all of my questions even sent a text the day of to endure us everything was a go. Plus the kids loved it. Thank you!!!!

The game truck came out for a Scout event yesterday. The boys had a blast! Brad was very professional, the truck was clean and offer a lot of game options. Definitely recommend the game truck.

We had such a great experience with Steel City Gamerz. It was perfect for my son?s 10th birthday! Would definitely recommend!

Canceled at the time of the party. My grandson is very hurt! I am upset for all these kids that was looking forward to playing and seeing this gaming truck. Excuse was he lost power, isn't that what generators are for? Read another review saying something similar happened to them. Buyer Beware!!!

We did this for my sons 7th birthday party with about 15 kids and everyone loved it! Brad is awesome with the kids and I appreciated all the pictures he took! Would definitely recommend!

I am very upset I wasn't even going to post but my son was in tears because gaming truck got canceled right at the time of his party i had no time to plan any other games for party. I understand things happen but I would have thought he would inspect his equipment before party so people can get a heads up if something not work or lost of power I feel bad for my son and his friends that was really upset I also has a feeling because another parent told me he canceled on them too last minute

I would love to leave a positive review about the experience but unfortunately we were not able to schedule due to the what seems to be just a lack if care whether Brad got our business or not. Brad I don't care whether you are getting a divorce or what your schedule is with your kids...you are running a business try to be a little more professional.

Brad was prompt, attentive and friendly. His gaming truck was the perfect addition to my sons party. The kids had a blast. Thank you Brad.

What a great idea for a party! The boys all had a blast! Thank you Steel City Gamerz for making my sons birthday so fun. He said he wants to do it again next year!

Best Birthday Party Ever!!! The kids loved EVERY minute. Thanks Brad for being so great with all the kids. This is one party they will definitely remember.

My son and his friends had an amazing time at his 7th birthday party. Brad was super helpful, friendly, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend!

Celebrated my daughter's 13th birthday party with Steele City Gamerz,and that was the absolute best choice I could've made for her birthday celebration.The owner Brad was very professional,very timely and a great host.Thanks,Brad for your service.

My son and his friends enjoyed the truck. Everything went as planned. Brad did a wonderful job. Thanks again for helping give my son one of the best parties ever.

He was so patient with the kids and we had them ranging in ages from 3-13 it was a awesome experience and i recommend it for anyone who has a gamer child he comes early to set up as well if i could give this 10 stars i would

Steel City Gamerz came for my son?s 11th birthday. They were awesome and the kids had a blast! Would definitely do again.

Tried booking them for a birthday party for my son. I was told that I march they don't travel outside of their coverage area. I am well within their coverage area (Kennedy Township/Robinson Area) and have not been able to get a response. I have used them before with some organizations I am apart of, but I don't think we'll be using them in the future.

My son and his friends absolutely loved the truck, Brad was very accomodating, timely and easy to work with!

Brad was early to set-up. Friendly and professional! Kiddos had an AWESOME time! Highly recommended.

Called four hours before my Grandson?s birthday and cancelled . I understand things break down, but maybe have a backup plan. It's his 9th birthday and he is devastated.

The kids had a blast. The host was great. Little difficult to reach to schedule but once we connected it was fine.

The best birthday party! Such a great experience for the kids. Would recommend to everyone if your looking for something different, fun, and truly memorable.

Brad was a great party host! The kids had such a great time! I highly recommend!!

Great with the kids and prep for the party!! Professional and an amazing set up the kids loved every minute and Brad was awesome to work with!

Big hit for my 10 year old?s bday! The kids had a blast and it kept them occupied for two hours instead of running through my house! :)

Such a great experience! My son is already planning his 9th birthday with Steelcitygamerz!

Amazing time with Steel City Gamerz; Would recommend to anyone planning an event. Awesome service and staff, wish I could give more stars.

Kids had a blast! Great birthday party for my son and his friends.

Awesome experience, I had kids all different ages. The older kids had jus as much fun as the smaller kids. Boys and girls

Great place to take the kids to burn off energy. Have some difficulty getting in touch with people on the phone to schedule an event but once there everything was smooth.

Awesome experience! Would definitely recommend using for a great, fun party

The kids loved the gaming truck! Highly recommend and brad was awesome with the kids!

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
