FAQ

Do you post a price list?

No—pricing varies by date, distance, staffing, and run time. Tell us your headcount and site; we’ll send an exact quote with A/B weather options.

Can you provide tents, tables & chairs?

Yes. We right‑size shade and seating for your site and headcount, then integrate power, A/V, and games into one plan.

Can volunteers run the games?

For safety and flow, we’re fully staffed by default. Your team can focus on welcomes, awards, and hospitality.

Philadelphia permits & insurance?

We’ll issue a COI to your venue or property manager and follow local safety thresholds. Ask us about power and layout for specific sites.
