The Game On Experience
Game On is a unique, fun, live action adventure to play with friends, family, and coworkers. The experience centers around a number of custom-built games, and tickets include two hours of unlimited game play. We are excited to introduce our first five game rooms with more coming in the next few months, along with special challenges outside the rooms. And there's beer!
Players form teams of 2-4 people. Games are designed to be played multiple times and it will take a few tries to get the hang of a particular game. If a game isn't for you, just try a different one!
Once you get your Game On, you'll want to return again and again, either to share your favorite challenge with a new teammate, attempt a higher difficulty level or try to reach a new stage. You can also enjoy delicious craft beer in our Lounge areas as you share stories of your amazing accomplishments. Open a door - adventure awaits!
