    Entrance with lockers to store your things!
    Tee S.

    This was our first time at the new Woodlands location and we were excited to check this place out. Need less to say, you must try this once in your life! Come dressed comfy with closed toe shoes and your game face on!! From walking in and being greeted by awesome people, this location felt like such an upgrade from their very first Katy location. We walked in and got checked in, received our wristbands for the games and locker, stored our belongings, and then were guided inside. The entire experience from walking in to walking out was incredible. Super clean, very open facility, on top of the lockers to store things they also have a hang out room for anyone not playing but they have a screen with all the action so that is pretty funny! Okay let's get to the games - they have SO MANY GAMES and options to pick from, we literally went in every single room probably multiple times and played multiple games and rematches. Hoops and Hiding was so much fun and we equally loved and are obsessed with the grids. This location has a mega grid and mega laser which is also a newer upgrade! Hands down, 10/10 experience. Check out any location closest to you but we really enjoyed the woodlands location!

    Haven't been to Main Event in years, but I recently came and found that the place needs a lot of…read morework. First of all, the costumer service was alright, the pricing for the arcades are decent, and they do a good job explaining how everything works. What I found was that a lot of the areas that require an attendant there are just empty? For example, the restaurant area had a line but it seemed to be completely abandoned on a weekday afternoon. Me and my friend wanted to purchase some drinks or snacks but were unable to as nobody was there at the front working, and the kitchen seemed lonely with a pizza just sitting there for who knows how long. It was a good thing we didn't purchase a food package as we wouldn't have been able to use it anyways. Then, after playing the games we decided to spend our points and found the prizes to be outdated, bland, and super expensive! I've been to plenty other places that had way lower pricing with better prize choices. We also waited almost 20 minutes to even get attended as there was nobody working that area either. No surprise. We had to go find somebody to help us. The place is nice to have some fun but there are many other places that are more fun for the same price. I think they need to hire more employees, and really make the place feel like an experience. The music is quiet, everything was just under stimulating and boring. I remember 10 years ago this place looked a lot better.

    Love the options of entertainment here and food options have gotten a lot better over the years but…read morethe level of customer service has dwindled so much. I understand that they hire a lot of younger kids and maybe they just haven't been trained correctly but seriously, do better. Management needs to do better at training and emphasizing that customer service is what keeps businesses running. Bowling prices are a little outrageous sometimes but everything else is pretty reasonable. They need to continuously clean the arcade area and the make the dining area bigger or more comfortable for patrons who just want to eat and relax and watch their kids from the side. The comfortable are is mostly all reserved for birthdays so you can't even sit there. Food is typical but the pizza and wings have gotten fresher and better. Used to take forever too to get your order.

    Mind-Blowing VR Experience at Zero Latency Houston in The Woodlands!…read more I celebrated my birthday at Zero Latency in The Woodlands, and it was hands-down the perfect choice! This was my second time here, and somehow, it was even better than the first! I went with my best friends, and from the moment we walked in, we were treated to amazing customer service--the team here really goes above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. The game selection is fantastic! This time, I chose Space Wars over the Zombie Outbreak game, and WOW--it truly felt like stepping into another universe. The graphics are insane! The level of detail and immersion make it feel like you've actually crossed into a new dimension. I couldn't believe how real everything looked and felt, especially when you're dodging, shooting, and exploring the different environments. With pricing starting at $50 for a 30-minute session, it may seem a bit steep, but trust me--it's worth every penny! The time flies by because it's so engaging. If you're looking for a place to have a unique, adrenaline-pumping experience, Zero Latency is it. Whether you're here with family, a big group of friends, or even just as adults looking for something new and exciting, this place has something for everyone. If you're near The Woodlands Mall, do yourself a favor and check out Zero Latency Houston. I can't recommend it enough--my friends and I already can't wait to come back for round three!

I appreciate the disclaimer the man gave in front that there may be cuss words in the pirates game. The game was a lot of fun. It's crazy how VR can really trick you to think that something is real. I was really tip toeing over bridges like I was trying not to fall lol. And don't try to use the ledge to get up from the floor, it's not there lmao. The staff must have a great time cracking up watching people. My only complaint is that the picture quality in the pirate game wasn't that clear. I tried the adjustment in the headset and it didn't help. I want to come back and try the zombie game.

    Good option for bowling in the Woodlands…read more The facility is clean, modern with plenty of bowling lanes and an arcade. There are deals for all day bowling or arcade for cheap on particular days. The workers were nice and checked on us regularly ensuring we got our food, water and drinks taken care of. We ordered a huge fishbowl for our drink and heads up: it's not strong at all, so we also ordered extra shots on the side to add. Keep in mind that the fish bowl is fairly large - there were 5 of us working on it and it lasted. Food is also availble: your typical wings, fries, nachos, burgers, pizza, etc. The Sampler was good for out party to snack on as we bowled. It came with wings, tenders, soft pretzels, fries, and mozerella sticks. I enjoyed the platter except for the fact that I dipped a huge piece of pretzel into what I thought was cheese sauce, only for it to be honey mustard. I guffawed incredulously as this took me by surpise. This was 100% user errror; just thought it was funny and that it'd be good to share for educational purposes. (Don't be like me lol.) We had no issues with the bowling lane. Every lane already came stocked with a variety of bowling balls of different sizes and weights. The system worked seamlessly. No glitches, it worked relatively fast, none of our balls got stuck, etc. One thing to note is that the bowling balls seem well-used. Many of them are chipped and have a slightly greasy feel, but I mean at the end of the day, they still get the job done.

    Nice staff, clean location, $12 for French fries…read more Has a nice variety of arcade games.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own. I decided to switch to Among Us about half way in and the chat was LOUD. I used the sound key on the keyboard but it barely changed a thing, there was no volume control on the headset so I took it off. After 2.5 rounds my time was up so I just waited for my child to finish. As we were leaving a noticed the once 25% full place was about at 75% so it can fill up quickly and we went on a Sunday afternoon. Would I go back, maybe but bring a jacket, it was freezing.

Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set. Though would be nice as well and I wish, if you have the space and area to dedicate to have some people bring their own setups and stuff. ::Pros:: + Nice, cozy gaming environment + Computers are solid, and the fact that you have old-school arcade stuff is a bonus + Rates are comfy with bonus times on 7 dollars on an hour charge, and the further you seem to get to it, the more discounted it gets. ::Cons:: - Nothing much really, but just watch out and inform the guy in front if your computer crashes (it's a ggleap thing). He'll happily help you oit.
