Oops, can't believe I haven't written a review! I've been here when it first opened back in 2022…read moreand a few times since then. I love the location. It's easy to get to and appreciate that parking is simple via the attached garage (albeit the garage is interesting and could be the scene of a horror film). There are ample food options as well since this place is nestled in Ballston with the outdoor area on Wilson crawling with restaurants. If you need something quick, fast casual spots and fast food in general are offered in the food court inside of the mall. Now for the actual game review. It's best to book in advance online. Things are super easy and much faster; you also do not have to pick a game right away. So far I've played the Floor is Lava, a more family oriented one with my nephew, and most recently Squid Games with my nieces. Note that the latter is better suited for older kids. My youngest niece who is 5 had a couple of issues maneuvering her avatar during Squid Games. Of the three I played, Squid Games has been my favorite, naturally. Youngest niece kept dying every time she stepped foot. I was telling her to go left go left and she screamed back at me that she hadn't learned left or right yet, then proceeded to get picked off. Game aside, please note you are welcome to purchase drinks from the room. If you are playing a game that's more than 30 mins, note you will need water. There is a lot of moving around. Also note, sadly the water is Dasani so prepare to have your tastebuds assaulted.

I wasn't familiar with Immersive Gamebox before our visit. I've heard of similar interactive gaming…read moresetups, but I didn't know IGB had a location in Arlington--or what to expect from the experience. I went with my niece and was genuinely surprised by how much fun we had! The games were interactive, challenging, and a total blast. We laughed a lot, got competitive, and I'm pretty sure people in the other rooms (or "boxes") could hear us having a great time. I'm really glad we gave it a try, and I'd definitely go back. If you have kids or are looking for a unique family outing, I'd say the passes are well worth it. One quick tip: Know exactly where you're going before you arrive. I didn't realize the location is on the outside of the mall, which wasn't a big issue for me, but it could be frustrating if you're tight on time. The confirmation emails do a solid job providing directions--if you're driving and parking. But if you're getting dropped off (like I was via Uber), the signage and location can be a little tricky to spot. A minor hiccup, but something to be aware of.

I have been going here off and on since it opened. I love the concept of it having games and things…read moreto do on several floors. The food is very good, and the menu has enough variety to keep me coming back. I love that they offer tasty mocktails. There is free karaoke at the ground floor bar every Friday from 9pm -12am. The groups that come through can be pretty interesting. You can belt out some songs while enjoying some good food and drinks. I wish they had more high top tables on the ground floor and less of a nightclub lounge look so that you can have a better view of the singers. You can play giant Jenga, foosball, ping pong, do bowling, do private room karaoke, play arcade games, and other games on any level. The bartenders are pretty good on the lower level but the upstairs third floor has cycled through some weird bartenders who didn't know how to make some common drinks. They seem to be better now. The security guards are on point and keep everyone safe. The super buff guy is actually really nice and was helpful when a friend lost her purse once. The bathrooms are usually clean. There is an elevator on the ground floor if you need it. There is a second elevator connected to the entire building at the entrance near the Ted's Bulletin inside which will take you to the third floor entrance main bar and bowling lanes area. Must show ID and be age 21+ to enter.

The bartender killed my vibe unfortunately. I asked for a glass of wine and he served my drink in a…read moreround martini glass. It was Saturday night and very busy so I didn't want to carry around something I could easily spill. So I kindly asked for a wine glass and he definitely didn't like my request so he dumped the wine from the martini glass into a wine glass spilling half of it over his hand onto the floor. I understand PBS is not a wine bar but his response was really disappointing and awkward, I paid for the 4oz pour to keep the peace. I used to work in the service industry so I left it alone, but I probably won't be back to PBS for a while. I really enjoyed the silent disco! Super fun and different. The person managing the headsets didn't tell me when it ended.. so the folks who also didn't know ended up paying $10 for 30min....

You are then take to a room to put on the vest-laser gun combination. A few minutes later, the game begins! If you ask them to show you where the bases are, they will show you and you could hit those bases for more points. You cannot tag another teammate, and when you tagged, there's a few second delay before you are back into play. The age range was from elementary school children to working professionals. It was a fun experience trying to strategize how to get the most number of points! Some folks decided to stay high up and shoot downwards. Others sought to aim for the bases since they have quite a bit of points. Another team defended their base. I would definitely come again!

It's nice and fun, but the food is pretty overpriced and there's nothing really special. I stopped by with friends on a Thursday night. You seat yourself, and most of the tables are long communal tables. The decor isn't too exciting although they do have a nice long bar in the front with a great view. The staff were friendly but definitely running around to all the tables. The hot dog was $12 with chips, and it was an average hot dog. I got the Cubano sandwich which was good but not great and was $18. Again, the food was fine but not worth the money. There are a few arcade games, including some pinball machines and crane games. Upstairs they have a basketball game and skeeball. There are no tickets so I would think it would be a nice date night activity. I would guess kids would want tickets or prizes. Boardwalk does an average job with a few different things. I would go instead to a nice restaurant or bar or a great arcade.

Tickets were 22 dollars and it covers a drink so it's not that bad. Thankfully they do allow a 15 min grace period from your time slot, unfortunately the service was just not that good. The host was not that friendly and the bartenders didn't come off friendly either. There was holiday decorations which was cute but honestly the drinks were pretty expensive from like 19-23 dollars and the portions were not consistent, I saw that they gave two marshmallows to one customer but four to another. It might be better if you come to play put put but even when we got our fries we got no napkins or utensils without asking which I felt was not great.

It feels like a friend's rich parent's fancy basement where you would get super wasted and play games with friends. Definitely come on a chill weeknight when it's quiet to avoid the chaos. The machines are pricier than other barcades, so we played more board games than pinball. It's more of a place to have a drink than to game for me. The bartender seemed unhappy when we walked in, and our group of 4 were the only customers so that was a bit awkward. The door guy was awesome though. We'd absolutely come back when in DC.

It's almost impossible to get a table, unless you can beat the finance bros. Still super fun!
