HyperSpace Starcade is your local family-owned game truck and mobile entertainment business. 

As parents, we know how difficult it is to come up with an exciting birthday party idea that’s age-appropriate, affordable, and most importantly…FUN! 

Game Truck Video Game Parties  

Let us bring our high-tech mobile game truck right to your curb or driveway!  You get peace and quiet in your home with no clean-up stress and still throw the best party of the year!

Most fun centers are difficult for mom and dad to endure as the food, drinks and seating aren’t very satisfactory so why not have the game truck in the parking lot of your favorite restaurant or sports bar & grill?  Have our game truck at your favorite park or playground!  If you are visiting the Mayo Clinic and are held up in a lifeless hotel we can come to the rescue and park the game truck on site!  Our game truck is truly an arcade on wheels. Our game truck has the latest and greatest video games, virtual reality gaming, TWO Virtual Reality Racing Stations, online gaming (to play games like Fortnite, ROBLOX), and stadium-style seating.  Up to 34 guests can play at once at our ten gaming stations inside and outside the game truck!  Our mobile game truck is newer, bigger and better than any you’ve ever seen!

Tactical Laser Tag Events

HyperSpace Starcade uses high-tech, commercial grade laser tag equipment.  Our incredible system provides realistic sound effects, incredible accuracy day and night, yet is easy for players of all ages.  We set up the laser tag playing field right in your yard, parking lot, or any outdoor area….we can even set up indoors!  Many restaurants and hotels have meeting and party rooms that work great for laser tag!  We can easily set up laser tag events in a gymnasium or office building!  HyperSpace Starcade’s laser tag pop-up “bunkers” and re-spawn stations get players back in the game, your guests will enjoy fast-paced “combat” action!

Virtual Reality Gaming Party Experience

Why not have an awesome and unique new virtual reality experience that will blow you away!  When you book a virtual reality party with us you are investing in a fun and positive experience that will create lasting memories!  Our Game Coaches will bring all the VR equipment to you at the confirmed location.  We can set up your virtual reality gaming experience indoors or outdoors and it requires a minimal amount of floor space.  We have virtual reality video games that anyone can enjoy and our Game Coaches are very experienced in easing newbies into VR.  This is not just for kid parties but for adults as well!  A HyperSpace Starcade VR Party is the perfect option for employee engagements, conference kick off and wrap ups, happy hour, pot lucks, customer appreciation events, and more!

Based right here in Rochester, MN

We are independently owned and not a franchise, so we can offer the affordable pricing and individualized service that you want from a party entertainment service.  Let us show you the one-on-one attention you deserve.  We serve the greater Rochester area and look forward to bringing you Minnesota’s best birthday party and event planning entertainment.

Sincerely,

The HyperSpace Starcade Team
