Minecraft Party

Make your party memorable with Minecraft. During the party, participants will get to explore an exciting carnival within the Minecraft world! Staff will assist the group and take a special keepsake photo in front of a green screen that transports them into the Minecraft world. We recommend adding a friendly suggestion to your invitations reminding guests to avoid wearing green so their bodies don’t disappear in the picture!

Learn how to build and program your very own Sumo LEGO robot and battle your friends! Kids will work in small groups to build a robot base and use creative thinking to add accessories and characteristics that matter – friction, sturdiness, weight, and more! After designing their custom creations, kids begin to code and problem solve how their robot will win in a friendly, competitive atmosphere. Staff will assist the group and take a special keepsake photo in front of a green screen. We recommend adding a friendly suggestion to your invitations reminding guests to avoid wearing green so their bodies don’t disappear in the picture!

Additional details

Birthday party attendees are recommended to have experience with using a computer (not a tablet or other mobile device). Parties work best when attendees have experience with a mouse and typing on a keyboard. For party attendees that have no experience with a computer, a parent/guardian must help them throughout the duration of the party.

Children who are 1st grade and under may require parental supervision during the birthday party to help them along with the tech projects, but understand they may not have the chance to completely finish their individual projects due to the time frame. They are also welcome to play with board games we have in our Studios.

Parties can be scheduled for two hours. Some additional charges may apply for parties that exceed 2 hours. Tips to the birthday party team for an event that was well done are greatly appreciated. See our Policies page for more details.

“Whoever thought a virtual birthday party could be so much fun? Eir guided our son and the other kids through a collaborative project consisting of building a cake together in a cool carnival Minecraft world. They had some time to engage in free play together. The party was ‘a blast’ that ended with ‘a big bang’ (literally!) when the kids had the chance to blow up the cake together with TNT and exploding fireworks. Our son said it was one of the best birthday parties he has ever had. This party closely simulated the experience of a regular in studio party while all participants were able to join in from the comfort of their own homes. We are so grateful to Eir and Empow for providing such an awesome virtual experience for our son! Three cheers for Empow!!!” – Rachel M
