Mobile gaming franchise, Games2U, is looking to expand its network with a team of enthusiastic franchisees who are good communicators and happy to work weekends.

WHAT IS GAMES2U ALL ABOUT?

Our mobile game theatre, laser tag, human hamster balls and T-shirt cannon provide entertainment for birthdays, church groups, fundraisers, corporate events and more. All the customer has to do is sit back, relax, and let us entertain the guests. Games2u is perfect for birthday parties for children of all ages, corporate events, presentation days, school activities and any party requiring entertainment.

WHEN WAS IT ESTABLISHED?

Games2u was established March 2011.

HOW MANY FRANCHISES DO YOU HAVE?

Games2u is still in its infancy. We launched our franchise model earlier this year, and while we only have the one franchisee, we are in negotiations with several people.

HOW MANY FRANCHISEES WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE IN 12 MONTHS’ TIME?

I would like to have a foundation of three franchises in a few states in the next 12 months. 

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR IN NEW FRANCHISEES? WHAT SKILLS DO THEY NEED?

We are looking for people who like to have fun when they go to work. That is the most important ingredient. Skills are not that important. Franchisees need to be able to communicate with everyone, from small children to grandparents.

WHAT TRAINING OR ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED BY THE FRANCHISOR?

Games2u offers four full days of action packed party training. The new franchisees are trained in everything from playing Call of Duty, to using the latest MYOB accounting system. They get tossed in the hamster ball, play laser tag and shoot the T-shirt cannon while learning our simple but fun business systems. 

Games2u takes the new franchisees on events prior to handing over their vehicle and games, and we spend the first weekend with them.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BE A GAMES2U FRANCHISEE? 

Games2u has two models available: the Game Theatre Model which is a 6.5 metre fully-enclosed mobile theatre and the Street Party Model which is a long wheel base Mercedes sprinter.

A franchise costs between $100,000 and $150,000 depending on the model, with a seven percent royalty.

WHAT WILL A TYPICAL DAY INVOLVE FOR A GAMES2U FRANCHISEE? IS IT A FULL TIME JOB?

Yes we believe there is enough for full time work, although Games2u is predominantly weekend work, with corporate events through the week for schools and banks etc.
