Went with my little guy on New Years day, after a good breakfast and it was a ton of fun! I would say it was the perfect work out and super fun! I wish the games were explained inside the room a little better as we were somewhat confused at times. But overall a great experience.
I brought my teenage nephew and we had a blast. Ended up being more fun than I thought it would be. We had just enough time to do all the rooms we wanted to. Staff was friendly and it was easy to navigate once you figured it out.
This was such an interesting arcade experience that was extremely fun! We went on a slow night so there was no reservation required and we were able to walk right in and get playing. The employees explain the gist of the various game rooms to us and we were off. Some of the games were straightforward while others required us to play it and lose a couple of lives to get the gist. Many of them are physical, which will also mean that you will get hot while playing!!!!! But paired with water and a few 5ish minute breaks the temperature seemed to regulate. All of the rooms seemed fairly clean and well kept in my opinion. As stated previously, it was super slow so there wasn’t much of a wait for game rooms nor was there any BO lingering. I would recommend visiting on a slower evening. Overall it was a really fun experience.
This experience was so fun! Went with a small group of friends and played a variety of games. No game lasts longer than 2 minutes, so the "wait times" were short. Each room has about 4-8 games to play, some more active than others. Would recommended good shoes and to wear something you can easily move/run in. The facility was clean and the staff was very helpful, informative, and accommodating! Will definitely be coming back!
Absolutely loved this place! My husband and I went back in mid-March on a date away from the kids and I honestly can't remember the last time I had that much fun! There are lots of different types of competition games, some are more physical, some more strategy, some require coordination or aim, some quick thinking... Regardless there are lots of different games to choose from in the 1 hour you're given. Your scores are kept track of and you can go against the people with you or be on a team with them. You can keep playing a game until someone else is waiting outside the door (then it kicks you out when you're done) or keep playing and go up levels for that game. There is also a little photo booth you the can take pictures at, which we did at the end, after our time was up. I highly recommend this place with friends or as a date for something fun and unique!
