ZTAG for Active Play
Wristband trackers, puzzles, and active challenges — delivered to your event. No screens. All action.
The Active Party Game You Can't Find Anywhere Else.
ZTAG is GameTruck's high-tech, screen-free party experience that gets every player off the sidelines and into the action. Each player wears a wristband tracker with its own screen, speaker, vibration motor, infrared emitter, and motion sensor. A central command center syncs every device and runs the games — while your certified GameCoach keeps the energy electric.
ZTAG combines physical activity, teamwork, and problem-solving into fast-paced game rounds that keep every guest engaged. Players race, match patterns, dodge zombies, and compete in challenges that feel more like living inside a video game than playing one. It's competitive, it's active, and it works for every age and fitness level.
“Like a real-life video game. Every kid was running, laughing, and didn't want it to end.”
GameTruck — ZTAG Party Experts
What Happens at a GameTruck ZTAG Party?
Your certified GameCoach arrives early with the full ZTAG command center and a set of wristband trackers for every player. They gear everyone up, explain the rules, and launch into the first game mode. Rounds are fast — typically a few minutes each — and the GameCoach rotates through different challenges so nobody gets bored and the experience stays fresh the entire party.
When it's over, the GameCoach packs up every piece of equipment and leaves. No gear to return, no mess, no venue to vacate. It's the stress-free ZTAG birthday party parents have been looking for — the one where you get to actually enjoy the party too.
Who Is a ZTAG Party For?
ZTAG is perfect for kids, teens, and adults of any fitness level. The games are designed so everyone can participate — no athletic ability required. It's a hit at birthday parties, school events, summer camps, team-building events, and any group that wants to get moving. The GameCoach adapts the intensity and game modes to match your group, so whether it's a party for six-year-olds or a corporate team outing, ZTAG delivers.

Game Modes
Multiple Ways to Play
Fast rounds. Constant movement. Everyone stays engaged.
Red Light, Green Light
All players start green — but freeze when you see red! The last player still moving wins. Simple rules, intense competition.
Pattern Match
Find the player whose wristband matches yours. Match the most shapes before time runs out. Speed, observation, and teamwork win the round.
Zombie Survival
Survivors vs. zombies vs. doctors. Doctors heal infected players while zombies try to tag everyone. Survive — or spread the infection.
Game modes may vary by location. Your GameCoach selects the best mix for your group.
Happy ZTAG Party Parents.

“Game truck was everything described in the details. I planned this party for my son's 8th birthday. He and his guests had the time of their life. The parents where also excited and wanted to do something like this for their children. The host was absolutely awesome, very professional, worked really well with the kids. 10/10 service. I would definitely recommend and I will be renting again soon. Thank you guys for hosting my son's party. A memory thats going to last a life time.”

“The game truck was hands-down the highlight of the party—but what truly made the experience exceptional was Jacob. He gave me a courtesy call before arriving to walk through all the key details, then showed up early to ensure everything was set up and ready to roll right on time. Jacob was not only professional but also incredibly friendly and great with both the kids and adults. The trailer itself was spotless, well-maintained, and even climate-controlled—huge bonus! Several parents grabbed a business card for their own future events, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this experience to anyone. Highly recommend!”

Common ZTAG Party Questions.
What exactly is ZTAG?
ZTAG is a technology-powered active game experience exclusive to GameTruck. Every player wears a wristband tracker with a built-in screen, speaker, vibration motor, infrared emitter, and motion sensor. A central command center syncs all devices and runs the games. Think of it as a real-life video game — players run, dodge, match, and compete in fast-paced rounds without ever looking at a phone or tablet.
Is ZTAG safe? Do kids need to be athletic?
ZTAG is completely safe and designed for all fitness levels. There are no projectiles, no physical contact required. The wristband trackers use infrared — like a TV remote. The GameCoach adjusts game intensity to match the group, so whether your guests are six-year-olds or teenagers, everyone can participate and have a blast.
Where can I hold a ZTAG party?
Any open outdoor space works great — backyards, parks, school fields, or community spaces. ZTAG can also work in large indoor spaces like gymnasiums or recreation centers. The GameCoach adapts the games to your specific space and group size.
How many kids can play at once?
Multiple players compete simultaneously in every round. The command center and wristband trackers scale to your group size. Between rounds, the GameCoach switches game modes to keep things fresh and ensure nobody is waiting on the sidelines.
How long does a ZTAG party last?
Most parties run 2 to 3 hours. Our booking center gives you exact package options when you book. The GameCoach structures the time across multiple game types — Red Light Green Light, Pattern Match, Zombie Survival, and more — so the energy and excitement never drops.
Do you set everything up and take it all down?
Absolutely. Your GameCoach arrives before guests, sets up the entire command center and wristband trackers, runs every round, and packs it all up when the party is over. You don't lift a finger. The only thing left behind is a lot of happy, tired kids.
