How Many People Can I Invite?

Our game room has 10 discrete stations for a maximum of 10 simultaneous players. We’ve found that most parties average 6-8 players plus parents and friends. Our facility can comfortably accommodate 20 people.

What About Food and Drinks?

You are more than welcome to bring your own food or have it delivered. We prefer drinks to be purchased from our concessions area (we stock large 20oz bottles and the most popular products for gamers). Parents can let each guest pick a drink from the fridge – there’s a wide variety to choose from and we’ve installed beverage holders next to each gaming station.

If you bring food, be advised that we do not have refrigeration available. While we prefer food to be eaten in the reception room, your guests are are welcome to simultaneously eat and play in the game room if they wish.

Can I Bring Decorations?

Yes. Please allow time before the event to decorate the space (15 minutes are included free with your reservation). We have scissors, scotch tape and other supplies available if needed and can help you decorate the space.  We also carry balloons and other decorations at an additional cost – please let us know when making your reservation.

How does Minecraft work? Can my child play his Minecraft World with his friends?

A Minecraft party is our most popular event – it makes for an exciting group session. Each player MUST have a paid Minecraft account: please ensure you mention this to all party invitees.  Without an account, they will be unable to play the game.  Register here.

If you have a customized world stored on your computer, you can access it during the party. Please copy the files to a USB memory stick and bring it so we can install it (the process only takes about a minute). If you don’t know where the files are stored or how to copy them to a USB flash drive, please contact us and we’ll be glad to help you. We also have a local Minecraft server for your event.  For more details on Minecraft parties, please talk to your event coordinator during the initial booking phase.

What can parents do during the event?

Parents have a unique opportunity to connect with their kids and watch or play along in the game room. Parents can also use our WiFi free of charge or play classic consoles with games from the 80′s and 90′s. Additionally, we have:

• Large format LCD TV in the game room to display the action from one station
• The video feed is mirrored on an LCD TV in the reception room for parents and guests to watch

What do I have to do to make it happen?

Managing a group of kids can be challenging enough.  If the idea of running a birthday party has you overwhelmed, don’t sweat it – we’ve got you covered. Call 858-777-1997 or email us to start your booking. We’ll need:
