Franchise Information
“Owning a franchise should be all fun and games.”
Imagine being the life of the party as you cruise from place to place in amazing custom designed vehicles, featuring 4-D movie theaters, video game theaters, outdoor laser tag, giant human hamster balls, 7-foot-tall robots, foam machines, and much more! You’ll be providing the most unique mobile entertainment on the planet and you’ll be greeted with smiles wherever you go.
Sounds better than being stuck in an office all day.
The Games2U franchise is designed with quality of life in mind. Owner-operated or with multi-unit operations, there are minimal employees and proven systems that allow you to focus on growing your business and maximizing revenue opportunities. A Games2U franchise requires very little start-up capital, can be launched in less than 90 days, and is the ideal business for fun-loving entrepreneurs. We supply you with a comprehensive operation including amazing branded custom designed vehicles, theaters, and tons of other games and equipment. In fact, every franchise is equipped to run multiple events simultaneously, even in the same time slots. We provide state-of-the-art training at our headquarters, marketing and technical support, and a robust web site featuring our proprietary G2UWare™ operating system. G2UWare™ is simple to operate, but delivers sophisticated results for scheduling, reports, credit card management, database, surveys, e-vites, training tutorials, and so much more.
Games2U stands alone in the incredibly lucrative mobile entertainment segment. We capitalize on the massive $21 Billion a year video game industry, maximize the kids party industry, thrill the corporate and business partners, align perfectly with schools and fundraisers, add excitement to camps and youth group activities, and speak to a majority of the population with patent-pending products like mobile 4-D movie theaters and 7 foot tall human-operated robots known as U:bots!

Prepare to give your customers the ride of their lives with the Games2U 4D Theater!
Video Game Theater
Our state of the art game theaters feature laser lights and fog machines, flat screen TV’s, surround sound, Xbox, Wii, and PS3, and offer an exciting place for gamers to play all the hottest games like Guitar Hero, Madden Football, Halo, Call of Duty, Wii Sports, and more. As many as 16 players can play inside our climate-controlled game theaters and, weather permitting, 8 can play on the outdoor screens.
Outdoor Laser Tag Equipment
One of the coolest events anywhere; it takes only minutes to set up the outdoor laser tag field with our logoed bunkers and natural obstacles. Kids and adults of all ages divide into teams and battle for supremacy in the outdoor laser tag field in a variety of controlled games like capture the flag and base defender. The 21 guns offer simple operation with high tech sounds, lights and multiple game options using a one touch game controller complete with charging boxes.
Giant Hamster Balls
Kids and adults climb inside these giant inflatable balls and have an absolute blast as they roll around or run "like hamsters." With two Giant Hamster Balls, kids can have races around obstacle courses. Our Giant Hamster Balls are popular as drop-off rentals and terrific revenue generators as well.
U:bot - Where U Become the Robot
Jaws drop and eyes go wide whenever the U:bot (patent pending) invades a Games2U party. But the only screaming you’ll hear is from laughter and delight as kids control this giant, fully mobile robot from the inside! Kids (and small adults) climb inside this fully mobile 7-foot-tall machine and control its every action. Complete with blinking lights, fog machine, laser gun sounds, color monitor, and voice synthesizer, the U:bot will amaze, astound, and blow away everyone at your Games2U party!
Booger Wars
Let’s face facts: kids love things with a high “yuck” factor. Knowing this, the inventors at Games2U have dreamed up an incredibly fun game designed especially for them: Booger Wars (patent pending)! Booger Wars is played like dodge ball with one giant nose on each side of the field. Wearing velcro vests and protective eyewear, kids throw bean bag "boogers" at each other. If a booger sticks to you, you’re out. Last kid standing wins! It’s just silly fun.
Toss & Fly
Toss-N-Fly (patent pending) is a game of timing, teamwork, and accuracy, with a “hit-the-target” concept of a dunking booth, yet dry, requiring teamwork, and super fun! Toss-N-Fly is uniquely engineered and built into the side of our custom trailers. Typically played as a four player game divided into teams of two (“pitchers” and “flyers”), the game is a race to the top. Once one team’s sled has made it to the top, a siren will sound and a beacon light for that team will illuminate! The looser is automatically lowered, while the winner remains high in the air, celebrating victory. This is truly fantastic fun for kids and adults, and a great spectator sport as well.
Foam Machine
Games2U brings you unique, outdoor, fantastic fun with the completely mobile Foam Machine. The machine is plugged in, the foam pit is aired up, and the foam begins to grow to enormous size. Fun for all ages, the foam machine produces hypoallergenic and biodegradable bubbles that leave you dry, non-sticky, and full of memories. Perfect for large groups, schools, camps and church events. This is another fantastic drop-off rental and revenue generator. Even works for indoor events!
Party Add-On Equipment
Games2U AV Cart
Our compact all-in-one Projection Cart (patent pending) is one of the coolest new products to roll out of the Games2U Fun Factory this year! Our unique design allows you to project any video game or movie, indoors or outdoors, larger than life. Play Guitar Hero on the equivalent of a 25 foot screen, or show an outdoor movie poolside. This simple to operate machine comes loaded with cool features like sound-activated LED lights, monster speakers and amplifier, easy-roll handle, wheel brake, and complete with Wii and Xbox 360. (Also plays DVDs). Another great product for corporate team building, graduation parties, and drop-off rentals, for maximizing revenues.
Gyroscope
Around, around, and upside down you will go, in our Games2U Gyroscope. This is the type of machine used as a trainer for military pilots and astronauts. The Gyroscope has easy operations and provides a unique ride experience for one or two at a time, and makes a great add-on to any Games2U event.
Satellite TV
Add Satellite TV to you next event for the party of a lifetime! Whether for tailgating events, sports games, or added entertainment for the parents, Satellite TV is great for all ages and may be used in conjunction with the any one of our mobile theaters.
Candy Cannon
