What is LAN? How does it work?
LAN is a Local Area Network. THE-GAME-BOX has a private network that connects all the gaming stations together allowing all of the Xbox 360’s to communicate with each other. This allows all the gamers to play in the same game together without having to share a TV. or Xbox. It’s also referred to as system link in some instances.
How many people can LAN in THE-GAME-BOX?
THE-GAME-BOX will accommodate up to 16 players, 12 players will play on single player stations and 4 players on (2) double stations. The amount of players per game depends on the game title but most games will allow 16 players at a time.
Does everyone have to play the same game?
No, we can mix and match so that everyone gets to play his or her favorite game.
If I book a party what do I get?
It's simple. Book a party and we bring the party to your location. THE-GAME-BOX is self-contained, it’s powered by an on board generator and is temperature controlled. All you need to provide is a place for us to park. A gaming attendant will set up the games of choice, your party will play for the amount of time you booked and when we’re done we leave.
What age’s do you recommend?
Ages 10 to adult. Most children under 10 have difficulty navigating through the games making it a frustrating experience for them. We want everyone to have a good time and we realize there are exceptions, we will provide parties for younger age groups but a parent must be present at all times.

What are game ratings? What is the E.S.R.B.?
Game ratings are exactly that, rating a game for the appropriate age group. The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) decides which age groups are appropriate for each game. At THE-GAME-BOX we believe it’s a parental decision as to which games your children play. We do however want to provide you with the necessary information to make an informed decision, if you have any questions about the ESRB please visit their website http://www.esrb.org. If you have any questions about any particular games please click the links to the game in question or give us a call and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Parental consent forms?
Parental consent forms are forms we provide that must be filled out if children wish to play a game that’s rated above their age. We offer a wide variety of games for all ages but some of our games are rated Mature (17 and older). These forms can be downloaded from our website for your convenience Here.
Why do you have two double stations/2-seater stations ?
THE-GAME-BOX offers “double” or “2-seater” stations for the sake of game variety. Many popular games require two players to play on the same screen such as Madden, FIFA, Tekken, etc.. These stations will still allow you to play other games via split screen or can be used as a single station with a much larger screen (32”).
What are headsets and what are they for?
THE-GAME-BOX provides all of our gamer stations with headsets, we use Turtle Beach X11’s. These headsets provide the audio for all of the games for a much richer sound and they provide a microphone that can be used in many games for communication. Headsets also prevent the gamers from hearing audio from other game stations which can be confusing and annoying. For the ultimate gaming experience headsets are the only way to go.
