Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some common questions that we get asked about our arcade rentals and services

We offer a one-stop-shop type service when it comes to arcade and party rental. That means that when you rent from us, we take care of delivery, set up, supervision, and cleanup for the whole duration of the rental. We find this is ideal because it lets our customers spend the event having fun and attending to their guests instead of worrying and dealing with our equipment and rentals. Here are some commonly asked questions about our service:

Can we cancel if it looks like it is going to rain the day of our event?

If there is a 50% or greater chance for rain and you decide to cancel, you will get a full refund. Be careful to read the entire forecast. Most radio personal do not say what time of day the rain will come or for how long. Most of the time it will not rain during the hours of your party. Call the day before and let us know that you are considering canceling your rental. If the forecast is for scattered showers, we recommend you still take the moon bounce and let the party go on. If the forecast is for rain all day, we will encourage you to cancel your rental.

What are the power requirements for your arcades?

For most of our arcade machines, we require (1) 20 amp outlet within 5 feet of the machine, but the power requirements do sometimes vary.

Do you deliver the rental, or do I have to pick it up?

We offer both options! With smaller rental orders, we ask that you come to our warehouse in Carol Stream to pick it the rental up yourself.

Do any of your arcade rentals have age restrictions?

Some games are more appropriate for various ages than others. For example, small children might find it difficult to play some of our racing games because they have to be tall enough to maneuver the wheel and the pedals. Most of our rentals are completely playable for anyone age 6 and older.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Cash, Check by Phone, Money Orders, and Cashier Checks at the time of delivery or Credit Card prior to delivery.

Do you offer any discounts?

We offer discounts through our party packages. Check our our rentals Arcade Packages pages to see our offers!

Is it alright to tip the delivery person?

Absolutely! These guys work hard spending their weekends setting up and taking down the equipment. If the delivery person does a good job, let him know. Tips range from $10-$50 depending on equipment and difficulty of setup.

Can anyone run the food machines?

The operator must be at least 18 years old. Some elements of the food machines (such as the cotton candy floss head or the popcorn kettle) get extremely hot and people can burn themselves if they’re not careful.
