Customer Reviews

We rented a game truck from Roll-N-Play for my son?s 9th birthday and it was such a great time! Mark was super friendly and definitely knew what he was doing. His truck was decked out with all that the kids would need for a fun hour of gaming?both on the inside and even the outside. I highly recommend them!

If I could give more starts I definitely would! Highly recommend you hire Mark for your special events. My son had a blast with his friends for his birthday. Mark is extremely friendly, very professional and accommodating! Communication was great and smooth from the time I checked in to get information as I had never had a gaming truck before and he made great recommendations, showed up on time, set up was great and truly every child at the birthday party had a fantastic time. We will be booking again so

Roll N Play was the perfect party for my 8 year old! The kids had so much fun, no one wanted to leave. Mark takes the time to make sure games are age appropriate and a fun time for everyone! I couldn't have asked for a better party! Highly recommend Roll N Play to anyone looking for a video game truck birthday party.

We booked 2 years in a row for my son?s bday party. My son and his friends had the best time! It was the easiest party we have ever had. Mark is a super friendly guy and is attentive to the kids when they want to change games or have technical difficulties. We highly recommend them and would use them again!

Mark was amazing!!! Everything was seamless and the kids had so much fun. We would recommend Roll N Play to anyone looking for a gaming truck.

We had Roll-n-Play for my son?s 9th birthday! All the kids had a blast. So many choices for games kids were 6-12. Owner is hands on, great with teaching, questions and guidance. Parents were able to sit in the driveway and hang out. Highly recommend!

We would give 10 stars if we could! We absolutely love using Game Truck. Mark's customer service is exceptional, and the services provided are top-notch. We use the Game Truck as a field trip for our summer camp program EVERY year because Mark is just that awesome! He makes sure everything runs smoothly, and the kids always have a blast. We highly recommend Game Truck for any large group events, whether it's for a summer camp program or a party. You won't be disappointed!"

We just used Roll-N-Play for an 11 yr old birthday party and the kids had an absolute blast!! Mark is so friendly, great with the kids and the truck is amazing! The VR was also super fun for the kids that wanted to try it. Loved the outside screens with Wii Sports for the kids who wanted to change it up from being inside. We would highly recommend Mark and Roll-N-Play for a great and fun event and experience!!

Amazing time celebrating our son?s birthday! If you are in the Charlotte area, run to book Mark. The kids had a blast! His truck seats 14 with additional games on the outside so fun all around.

Glad I called this company! Owner actually recommended a shorter period of time and he was right, the kids in our age group didn't need more than an hour (which obviously cost less). Mark, the owner, was very professional and on-time. He made sure to ask what games the kids wanted queued up so they could get playing right away. The silence in my house for an hour was amazing, lol. Great value for the money. Was surprised to learn a lot of adults like this truck too?who knew? I'm not a video game person, but

100 out of 10 recommend!! We cannot thank Mark enough for how awesome he was and how special he made the day for my two boys for their birthday party. Even the parents had a blast playing games. If you need a fun idea for your next gathering, this is it!

Highly recommend Roll-n-Play! The truck is top notch and the kids had a great time! The owner was amazing to work with, and was very accommodating with our last minute changes. You will not regret booking this gaming truck!

Mark was nothing short of awesome! His gaming truck was clean and my son had a blast with his buddies. Mark was so good with the kids and friendly. You won't find a better truck rental and better prices. Not too mention a great guy who is honest and kind too. Be sure to call him!

Awesome experience. The owner was super friendly and great with the kids. The trailer with all the TVS, led lights and game options was perfect. The kids had a great time. Highly recommended to us from some friends, now we too also highly recommend them.

Absolutely the best party ever! We enjoyed the truck at the park for my sons birthday. Kids stayed engaged the entire time, it was perfect!! Many compliments from attendees. Thanks so much!!

Mark and his son were wonderful to work with and helped to make our daughter?s 13th birthday GREAT! They made sure to ask the kids what games they wanted to play and had them all set up and ready to go when the kids went outside! The kids enjoyed all the games?especially the Wii on the outside of the truck which cracked me up!! Mark had Fortnite (for no extra charge) and had his own hotspot to run it! We would most definitely not hesitate to hire Mark and his son again!

Had an awesome time with Roll-N-Play! The truck was super clean, loaded with all the latest consoles and games, and the setup was perfect?big screens, comfy seats, and no lag. Mark was fantastic and made sure everything ran smoothly. It's such a cool idea for a party or event, especially for gamers. Everyone had a blast, and it was totally worth it. If you're thinking about booking something unique, definitely check them out. Highly recommend!

Absolutely a blast for the kids, and time saver for the parents. The Roll-N-Play was clean, setup nicely, and provided ample room for all the kids (and adults if video game players). Setting up four separate games ranging between systems made it possible to entertain all types of interests. Mark was awesome with the kids and provided a safe environment for the kids to be kids. A++++

Mark is Amazing!!! From the time we booked until we parted. Feel like I made a new friend. I would definitely recommend his services the kids had a blast and his son was great with the children. Mark also, brings the party to life with his gaming truck.

My kids had a blast with this game truck! Mark was so responsive, accommodating, and kind. He handled everything the kids needed for the game truck! Definitely a hit.

This was hands down the easiest party we have ever hosted. Mark and his son were fantastic for our son?s 7th birthday. I had just had surgery a few days prior meaning I couldn't help with anything. I got to sit in a chair in the shade while he did EVERYTHING. That never happens!! It was also an incredibly hot day and yet the truck was well air conditioned and very comfortable. The kids had an absolute blast. He was honest and recommended the right amount of time for our age group. We will absolutely find a

On time. Polite. Professional. Communicative. Knowledgeable. Friendly. My kids loved the variety of games. He even got my preteen daughters to participate with dancing games.

We had Roll-N-Play come do our son?s birthday party this Saturday, August the 27th and had the most amazing experience. Mark Skpowski and his son Robert were EXCELLENT. Every kid left saying they had an amazing time. Most importantly my son said it was the best birthday party he ever had. ?? We rented the truck for two hours total but the first half hour was just for our family which gave my sons time to play before all the friends arrived. I limited the amount of guests I invited so I wouldn't have

Mark is amazing! I have used him twice, once for my son's birthday party and another for my school's end-of-year celebration. He showed up EARLY! Had everything set and ready to go! He was organized, professional and overall kind. He even got the dads involved in playing video games with the kiddos. The pricing is great and he truly takes care of the customer. I can't wait to use him again for next year's end-of-school bash!

We booked my son's 8th birthday with Roll-N-Play and were not disappointed! They had the best time playing and Mark was absolutely amazing with them and super easy doing business with. Highly recommend for any occasion.

Great father and son team. This was an amazing party option. Not only did the kids have a great time, the adults were also very engaged with the games on the outside of the game truck. A wonderful experience!

Mark with Roll N Play made my son?s birthday celebration a joy! He communicated clearly and checked in the day before. He referenced google maps prior to coming to have a plan for parking on our narrow street. Mark arrived on time and worked with us having a few extra kids than we expected - and they all had fun without complaint! The game trailer was clean, cool, and a great party atmosphere. I highly recommend his services!

Mark and his game trailer were AMAZING!! I highly recommend this experience for all kids. Between Just Dance and Wii Sports outside and the amazing gaming experience inside, the kids had more than enough to do. All of the kids parents were impressed as well!

For the best video game truck experience in CLT, look no further than Roll-n-Play: fantastic communication, easy booking, and phenomenal service. Mark is wonderful!

Omg you MUST hire them - so so so much fun and a wonderful family. They can accommodate all age groups and they are willing to help those who are not gamers. Fun for everyone. They are punctual, professional and polite. You cannot go wrong here. Absolutely hit lotto when we hired then - super happy and hope we get to use again.

Phenomenal experience! Mark and his wonderful son made my kiddo?s 9th birthday truly memorable. They connected instantly with all of the party guests and were so gracious to the younger kids, setting up age appropriate games outside of the truck. This was honestly the easiest party to host; Mark knows his clientele and recommend the right games and the right rental time for the contingency attending the party. Mark and Robert were a pleasure to talk to and doing business could not have been easier. We

I cannot say enough good things about this company. Mark, the owner, was very easy to work with and great with the kids. He responded quickly to all our questions, showed up on time and made sure everyone had a good time. The truck was very nice and can easily fit 14 young kids inside and there are two outside TVs as well. The 7 year old birthday boy already asked if we can get the same game truck next year. If considering a game truck for any event, I would suggest you go with this company.

Mark provided the best experience for our sons 8th birthday party. He was engaging and patient with the kids, while also ensuring they were entertained the whole time. We couldn't recommend him highly enough and are hoping for another birthday with him!

Amazing experience! Our son celebrated his 9th birthday with a game truck from roll and play and it was the BEST! All of the kids had a blast and we plan on doing it again!

The BEST game truck in Charlotte!! Communication was awesome and the kids had an absolutely blast! Clean, friendly , and so much fun!! Thank you , Mark for creating long lasting memories! See you next year for the next birthday!

We have used Roll-n-Play a few times now and it's always such a positive experience. The communication is top notch and easy. We recently had them for a 12th birthday party and it all went very smoothly, as usual! My boys, 12 and 13, are still talking about how great the party was and how Mark?s son, and helper, was hilarious and made everything enjoyable and fun. We will continue to spread the word and share our positive experiences with Roll-N-Play!

Mark was incredible! The trailer was incredible! The whole experience was beyond incredible! We loved everything about this service for our 9 year old?s birthday and he is begging to have them back next year. Mark is honest and a pleasure to do business with. He knows his craft and ensures you have a successful party. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ????

Roll N Play provided an absolutely unforgettable gaming experience for our twins' 13th birthday party, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From the moment they arrived, their professional and personable service set the tone for an amazing day.

Entertaining a group of teenagers isn't easy, but Roll N Play effortlessly managed to captivate t

We had Roll-n-Play games for my son's 8th birthday party. My son called it "epic" and his friend told his mom "it was the BEST birthday party ever." The kids were entertained as well as a majority of the adults. I am so glad we made the decision to have this for my son's birthday! Mark was super easy to work with, answered all our questions and was reasonably priced. He and his son were so great with the kids. Bonus: I did NOT have to keep the kids entertained! Someone did it for me.

Mark was fantastic! Everyone (children and adults) at my son's party loved it. The truck was clean, comfortable, and had the best selection of things to play. Mark's recommendations were spot on. He went above and beyond to be sure we had a great experience. We would absolutely do this again!!

We just had Mark/Roll-n-Play out for my son?s 9th birthday party and it was perfect!!

We had the perfect birthday experience! Mark and his son are professional and bring the fun to the party!

What an awesome idea! My 7yo had a great birthday thanks to Mark and Roll-N-Play. Mark was a fantistic communicator and fabulous with the kids. The whole family had fun!

Great mobile game theater! Mark arrived on time, was super polite and very customer-oriented. Roll-N-Play tailors the games (and cycles through them on request) to the group. This is a solid local business operated by an owner who was great to work with - from scheduling to planning and execution. Highly recommended!

My son had his 10th birthday party this past weekend. We ran into some problems with another company we had booked with. At the last minute I called Mr Mark and he assured me everything would work out. His customer service was EXCELLENT the kids enjoyed it and him. His personality matches what he does. Book with him, you want me disappointed. Did I mention GREAT PRICING as well.

Great for movie night rentals! We had Mark come out for our "Dive-in" movie party. He is meticulous, friendly, professional, quick to set up and break down. This was one part of the party I didn't have to stress about! Mark surveyed the backyard before the party and gave me so much confidence to trust him to just handle it (I tend to be a little bit if a control person, lol) this freed me up to focus on my guests, the other details and actually enjoy the party. Thank you for making our Dive-in movie a huge

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.”

Are virtual reality games in arcades worth playing?

Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies.
