    Fun for all ages! Be prepared to have some fun, to run, to jump, and to even roll on the floor. I did not know what I was going to when I went, when I think game room, i really don't think getting active. But this was an interactive game room. It was like a real life video game. I loved it. I recommend you wear workout/comfortable clothes that you can move in. And if you're older like me... Stretch before you go lol

    I took my two kids and two of their friends here to go play for an hour. I'm not gonna lie it looked like so much fun and I really did want to jump in. They have about a dozen room set up, and each room has multiple game options to play inside of it. Each player scans their wristband before they enter and the wristband tracks their movement throughout the room. Each game lasts approximately two minutes each. They can play as many games as they want for an hour. It honestly looked like a pretty good workout too. The assistant manager helped us check in, and I actually called an advance.Because I had a gift card to use and it wouldn't let me use multiple and when transaction. She was super nice over the phone and was the same one that checked us in whenever we got there. My only feedback that I have is that whenever it is time to leave, It would be really nice if there was an easier way to just scan your wristband back in and then leave as opposed to waiting in the same line that people are checking into.

    Take as many team/individuals as you like.

    This is the place you were looking for when you pondered, what the F am I going to organize during our offsite for fun. Went to Activate Games for a work event and came out sweaty, laughing, slightly competitive, and oddly closer to my coworkers than HR probably intended. There are so many games--and they hit every personality type. Some feel like a high-energy carnival where chaos reigns and instincts take over, while others are full-on tech mode: lights flashing, lasers firing, brains overheating. You can work together like a well-oiled machine... or absolutely blast your mate when the moment feels right. Both are acceptable. Encouraged, even. The best part? It's actually fun. Not forced-fun. Not "team-building icebreaker" fun. Real fun. The kind where a room full of Type-A personalities forgets titles, deadlines, and egos and just goes all-in--sometimes as teammates, sometimes as rivals, always laughing. Mildly competitive? Sure. Or go top-rope, no-mercy mode and chase the leaderboard like your pride depends on it. Bonus points: * Surprisingly great workout * Not expensive for what you get * Perfect for work outings, families, or friend groups * Builds team spirit, camaraderie, and maybe a little friendly trash talk Bottom line: Activate Games turns coworkers into teammates, teammates into competitors, and everyone into kids again--for at least an hour. We had a blast, and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

    I didn't know what to expect until I was already inside. You get these wristbands and scan them outside of each room. There are multiple games to choose from involving dodging, jumping, and throwing. Each game is about 1-3 minutes. Once you finish the game, you exit the room to allow others to play. Progress is saved so if you go back, you can continue progressing as each game has multiple levels. At the end of our 1 hour slot, I was sweating so much. I don't usually exercise so this was a great way to get me moving! It was a lot of fun!

    We had an absolute blast at Activate Games-what a treat! Check in process was really easy. They give you a wristband to keep track of your points for the games, and also a wristband to store personal belongings in a locker. Everyone we interacted with was super helpful and walked us through everything. They even gave us some recommendations for games to play. There are SO many different games to play for all skill levels and ages. You will definitely get a workout in playing some of these games so wear comfortable clothes and shoes! There is a giant parking garage located right next door so parking was not an issue, even at 5 pm in the domain. They also have a couple of party rooms for birthday parties or team events. We will absolutely be back!

Even more brilliant is making all the arcade machines free play, so when you pay the $12.99 to get in, you have the opportunity to play any game your heart desires. I drank two beers while at Cidercade, their Texas Blonde and their Pistolas Mexican Lager. Both were good and easy to drink. All the arcade games have nearby areas to place your drinks so you can lock in on the games as needed. The collection of games is great and varied, from pinball machines and Japanese rhythm games to classic arcade games like Q*bert, Donkey Kong, Tetris, and more. There are racing games, Guitar Hero Arcade, rail shooters, Pop-A-Shot, skee ball, and plenty of other options. I enjoy that most of the people moving around Cidercade feel pretty sophisticated and do not get too rowdy like at other bars. Everyone is there to have a good time and chill. All the games are clean, which is crazy knowing how much beer and how many drinks are being consumed around them. A little booze in your system and playing pinball is an amazing experience, and I cannot wait to go back. RIYL: The Y2K center but you were alive in the 2000s.

During this visit to Pinstack we got food, played games and did some bowling. The bowling was fun but it's bowling so you should know what to expect. The food was half and half. The Mac and Cheese balls were super super good and my wife and I gobbled those up quick. The fries however, not that great. It's supposed to be "cheese fries" but in actuality it was just a bunch of fries with a small amount of shredded cheese and some sour cream on top. The games were fun but it does cost a lot of points per game to do anything. If you're gonna get a small amount of game credits on your play card, like 20 for example, you'll run out of points quick. I would like to come back again for bowling but I won't rush out the door to come back. I'd say if you're coming here for the first time, get a good amount of credits on your game card or just do bowling. Food is up to you since we only tried 2 appetizers I can't comment too much on it.

When we walked up to the doors they were locked even though the sign says they open at 2pm , it was 2:30pm. A woman walked up & unlocked the doors for us, I just thought maybe it was for safety since it is located in a busy area. But no one was inside just her no other workers or people, it didn't smell like food or popcorn. Even though there was a machine.Very odd so not sure if they sell food or not. Good thing we had eaten before we went! So we pay for the baby to play in the jungle gym which was a very reasonable $5 maybe & $3 for mom to go in with him, she sold us a pair of socks for the baby $3, not bad at all. Even though he only went in once it's very dark and not too appealing. To play the arcade games you put $ on a reloadable card. The games go by points so each point is a quarter. There was plenty of seating area plenty of chairs & tables but just no people! :( I was kind of surprised for it being a Friday afternoon & summer time, no school for the kids. My grand baby immediately runs to the arcade games and they had lot's of toddler friendly rides for him which were all around 3 to 4 points. As we explored the other games I noticed a few broken ones, then as I really took a good look more & more were broken or missing parts. Even the air hockey was broken. I understand a few here & there but no it was a lot, I'm glad I didn't have my teenagers because they didn't have many options for that age group. The neighborhood it's located in is pretty rough so maybe parents just let their kids tear up the place over the years:( Not too sure but I really feel bad for this company. My toddler grandson enjoyed himself, it was pretty reasonable priceI would definitely take him back to play games if it stays in business.

    Very nice place to spend a few hours with the kids…read more We took our 3 grandkids here recently to spend a few hours away from TV and electronics. It's a fairly reasonable place to go on hot summer afternoon. The kids spent an hour running around a large playscape. It always makes me pleased to see them come back to the table nice and sweaty for a drink. We got a pizza which wasn't too bad and a hot dog which he ate all of, so it must have been pretty good too. Then they got to play games and win coupons for "prizes". They each went through a $10 "game card" pretty quickly, but got to pick things they wanted. Although this place isn't squeaky clean, the staff were exceptionally nice. It wasn't terribly packed either, which is great for places like this. During the last 45 minutes unfortunately there was one little girl who was able to scream so loud (and frequently) that I jumped almost every time she let out one of her frequent squeals of joy. Can't blame that on anyone but the parents though and it's rare they'd do anything about it at a place like this.
