I have not actually hosted a party. But I did however have 2 friends how did and they were so impressed! He comes to the house with the obsticals and explains several different games. The boys LOVED it. I was there for the end when the parents got to play against the kids. We had a blast. The best priced, and best memory of a birthday party that my friends kids will always remember. And at the end of the day the kids are pooped from all the fun they had. =)
