Method and Device for Entertaining Using a Mobile Entertainment Environment

Abstract

A method and device for entertaining event attendees involves transporting a mobile electronic environment to an event location and providing event attendees temporary authorization to access to the mobile entertainment environment. At the conclusion of the entertainment, temporary authorization and access is revoked. For storage, electronic equipment can be removed from the entertainment environment and placed in a secure location. At each entertainment station attendees can play games using one of several gaming systems and their corresponding peripherals. Large video displays and audio equipment enhance the experience at each entertainment station. Interactive gaming can be experienced among multiple players at a single station, among players at different stations, or by connected to the internet for interactive play with remote players. Additional features include exterior video displays, stabilizers to minimize motion sickness within the trailer, and a video controller for providing master control of all of the video displays.
