“Perfectly executed garden gaming party for a group of 11 year olds who had a blast. Really easy to deal with online too and quick responses to queries during the whole process.”

“This was an absolutely brilliant organisation to work with. All the kids had so much fun and the person who helped us was so helpful setting the kids up and even playing with them if they were on their own.”

“Amazing! Arrived just as stated, tent was in excellent condition and we had an extended porch on which meant there were 2 gaming areas. Kids loved it, didn't hear a peep out of them for the whole 2 hours. Jordan was brilliant, very friendly, was in the tent with the kids the whole time helping them change games, or to different consoles even having battles with them on some games. Would 100% book again.”

“Had the pop up tent gaming party for my 9yr old and 14 of his friends. The boys had a great time "best party ever" is what I have heard from many of the childrens parents. Communication from company was great and party host James was really good with the children and kept them entertained for the whole time. Would definitely recommend.”

“We booked the girls VR party for 6 players, along with the pop-up tent. The booking process was a pain; I was unable to book what I wanted online and had to phone. During this, and many subsequent calls and emails, I received conflicting information regarding the space needed and number of players I could have. Eventually it was agreed we'd have a 6x3m tent for 6 players yet I had to keep checking this was correct as the info repeatedly emailed through said 4 players plus 2 extra OR a tent. I also ordered 6 party bags, as part of the package, with all 8 items available yet the order was put through as 5 bags with half the content. This was rectified one week before but still, it was added stress. I didn't ever feel complete confidence in what we'd get on the day. When the host arrived, he said he'd been given a 7x3m tent as it had been assumed that their square tent (?!) wouldn't have fitted in our garden?!! None of this was ever discussed with us. Thankfully we we were able to accomodate the 7x3m tent. It was a beautifully sunny day and apparently, had we had the square tent - which we didn't know anything about - the equipment wouldn't have worked in such conditions! The players struggled enough in the tent we did have, with one of my guests getting upset because her VR set wasn't working due to the sun! We were never warned this could be the case. It felt a bit shambolic from booking through to playing, to the point that I asked the host if Pop Up Arcade were a new company. Additionally leading up to the party, we received an email saying "About a week before your party, you'll get a package from us with the... Pick and Mix for the party. Your host will bring the Pick and Mix jars and table with them on the day and will set everything up once they arrive". On the day, we asked our host if he wanted the pick n mix we'd been sent, and were told 'most parents just put them in a bowl and hand them out'. Ok.... Overall, the party was a success and everyone had fun but honestly, this was really just testment to the lovely group of girls we had playing, rather than anything Pop Up Arcade specifically did.”

“The company were really easy to deal with from day one. All the booking was done with minimal fuss . We had a few changes but they were dealt with professionally and efficiently. Kris was our host and he was excellent. Included all the kids and really helped with all the games etc. Very happy customers.”

“Brilliant, fabulous, best and easiest kids party ever. Connor was a fantastic host, my son and his friends had a great 13th birthday party, we could just sit back and relax while they had the most fun ever. Highly recommended, thank you”

“While the setup was fast and the guy in charge was friendly, there were some significant issues that affected the overall experience. When I asked if he could set up Fortnite for the kids, he mentioned having 2 screens and 4 controllers available for that particular game. However, only 1 screen and a single controller ended up working. This was a huge letdown for the kids as they started taking turns to play, one person at a time, while others were playing FIFA and Minecraft. Despite the guy's attempts to fix the problem, it was not resolved. It was mentioned that some updates were needed, which should have been taken care of before the party. Additionally, some controllers for other games also didn't work, adding to the frustration. The Light Up X-Rocker Gaming Seat was not working or set up properly. About 15 minutes before the party was supposed to end, the kids lost interest. The VR experience mentioned on the website was not provided, although we did not inquire about it specifically. On a positive note, the sweets and magazines arrived on time, and the setup was quick. Based on my experience, I would not recommend. However, I can imagine that if the tech side of things was flawless and the guy in charge engaged more with the kids, it could have been a fantastic party. I would suggest ensuring better preparation and customer engagement for future events to enhance the overall experience.”

Hello, I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. We do extensive maintenance on our kits each week, and our hosts each take personal responsibility for their equipment. We are very careful about who we hire and provide extensive training to all our hosts. Sadly, your host on the day wasn't up to the standards we require of our people and left the company. We ask parents to trust us to help them create wonderful memories for their children. This isn't something we take lightly, and I'm deeply sorry we let you down. We'll reach out to you directly to see what we can do to make this right for you and your son.

“The Gaming event at our LGBTQ+ youth club was absolutely fantastic - our members had a brilliant time! We’ve never seen our members so engaged (and eerily quiet!!) The not-for-profit initiative that Pop Up Arcade provide is truly wonderful, we would not have been able to afford the event without this support. THANK YOU!”

“James was fantastic. Turned up in plenty of time to set up. We booked the tent which was perfect for the garden. He kept the children entertained for the whole 2 hours. He was very knowledgeable of all the games and helped the boys learn new skills. Perfect for a 10th birthday party. The boys absolutely loved it. Thank you.”

“Great party with Pop Up Arcade. Mike was amazing, extremely friendly and so great with the children. We were so lucky to have him host the party. He made the atmosphere so relaxed and welcoming, yet commanded the room very well. Generous amount of candy and Video Game Magazines provided for the party and communication was smooth throughout the process via email and text. Highly recommend Pop Up Arcade!”

“We had a great party with Jordan. It was incredible. There was one 5 year old and 15 13/14 year olds. They all had a blast. The party was a huge success. Jordan was incredible. He helped before and after with setting up and clearing up and also did his own set up etc really quickly so no one was left waiting around. Highly recommend.”
