    Very fun place, lots of friendly people and staff. Started out Airsoft and I already feel great and welcomed here. Fun people and staff always willing to help new players. Got bruised badly during my first game but still had fun!

    Squad ready for battle!!!

    Thanks Playland for accepting our large group and staying open later for us to go a couple more rounds. Your staff was incredible, especially the older guy I forgot his name. The field was so much fun I thought I was in actual battle lol. We experienced a horrible time at Midway Paintball facility in Vacaville (which you guys had no idea about).. With much anxiety we pulled up to your facility & to our relief had a totally different experience. We were treated fairly and customer service was great. Your facility reminded us that one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch. We will surely be back again!!! Thank you.

    The entrance to glory!!

    Tyler and Ty were so great! We had a birthday party here and Tyler took great care of us made the day perfect! Will definitely come back many many times!!!

I wasn't able to get my score card in round one because I didn't know how it worked. You are assigned a number and you are supposed to pick the correct vest with your game name on it. Many moons ago I did laser tag in SF and I think it was called Qzar and I remember when I got shot at, the orange vest would vibrate and it was like being electrocuted. As you can tell I wasn't very good, but I had fun back then. Thank goodness this place didn't electrocute me. Ha! Ha! It was fun. Good stress relief and great way to spend a birthday celebration where everyone had fun, learn something new and we all wrote a lovely birthday card question prompt to the birthday girl and she appreciated it. Finally I got my score card I was pretty proud of my score. I didn't score last and was happy. Time to celebrate with a trip to In n Out burger ! Oh yeah! From their website to learn more about laser tag if you never don't before: LaserMaxx San Carlos features state-of-the-art equipment and the ultimate laser tag experience, played in a big multi-level, fog-filled maze. Fun for ages 5 to 85! Laser Tag birthday parties are a blast! LaserMaxx is fun for families, corporate events, office parties, team building, sports teams, youth groups or a fun night out. Looking for fun activities in the Bay area? Look no further!

Met a sweet teenager boy who while we waited for an air hockey table to get free (the one we swiped our card on got charged but did not throw up the disc), without us even realising charged his table for us and presented us with a disc. Enjoyed playing the game and many more. ** Some of the machines in the arcade are not working properly, they charge the card but show an error post that. That leads to wasting of credit on the card. Happened thrice with us on that same day. There is a nice and well stocked prize vault that provides kids' toys, souvenirs in exchange for tickets (electronic now) earned, that also is a nice and seamless experience. The bowling experience was great as always though running very busy, it being a Sunday evening. The Epicentre game on arcade is a nice place to be at for some fun, excitement, adrenaline rush, beer, pizza, snacks. Recommended :)

Each person took 10-15 min to exchange their cards and coins to points. It's literally the dumbest machine ever invented. I do not recommend the arcade. Brad B if this is true, then train your staff better because we asked twice if there was a faster way. Why give out tokens? Just put everything on a card and then just swipe it!!! We had to watch the machine count backwards from 7000, 3000 and 2000 AFTER all the cards and tokens were put in (it took a while). Such a crapy system, yes you had 4 employees standing around doing nothing. The machine jammed 2 times in one use also and we saw it jam two other times.

Hosts were super friendly, just like the last time, so no complaints there at all. Overall, this escape room was much, much better than the Charlie's Candy Shop escape room. It felt much more intuitive, and the clues were written clearly, which made the experience more enjoyable. The only issue we experienced was in the second room, during the part where you use the dowsing rods to find the letters on the wall which are needed to open the safe. We weren't able to get any readings from the dowsing rods, we weren't sure if the magnets were not strong enough or if something else was affecting it. We ended up calling the host for help, and she was very nice and helpful. She gave us a hint about using a specific word on the metal board, and we immediately understood which five-letter word she meant. That hint worked perfectly for us. Other than that one part, we had a great experience and enjoyed the escape room!

We enjoy bowling during football games so we can watch and bowl and get boneless wings from victory house (and sometimes Bloody Marys). I've also come to watch friends play soccer at their different indoor courts. Only downside - it feels a bit like a germ fest. Lots of hand sanitizer and now I feel like I need to take some elderberry.

He also knew all the parks in our area and was able to answer questions that I likely would have had to ask the city.

The guys running the party were professional, and FUN, and they ran orchestrated games throughout the event. There were plenty of nerf guns to choose from and every single kid had a BLAST! Best money spent. Greg made this party happen for us, and I couldn't compliment him and his company more. If you want a fun and exciting party for your child, use PlanetXone!!!

Hayward is an underdog city - and this is such a unique space. If I was the mayor of Hayward I would shine a light on this place as I think its an important piece of the city. I live just 2 blocks away and have never gotten any note on my front door or advertisement or coupon. I think that is a shame. If I was head of marketing for this business I would place a flyer under every door mat in a 5 or 10 block radius. This is a missed opportunity for core customers. There are new high rise buildings also popping up - a huge senior building - why not a special flyer offering seniors discounts if they show up for an early bird dinner? Often times you can also tell if kids live in any given home in the neighborhood. There are kiddie pools, tiny shoes left out front, bikes thrown around in the front yard - these homes should be targeted even more aggressively with fliers and some sort of incentive to come in. Another huge problem with this place is the lack of emphasis on ease of 'searchability' of the place. I had lived so close since 2016 and had not known about the place until maybe 2020 during the pandemic. How is that possible? It's all about not knowing this is an arcade. Sector 19 doesn't mean anything to me. It should be called 'Sector 19 Arcade' so that people can find it with a Google or Waze search. The arcade is clean and bright and fun for little kids. Its a safe place too - where parents can hang outside more in the restaurant part and not worry they wandered off - there is only one way out. The arcade needs to be front and center - this is why people come. Pizza House or Susie Qs have no competition in this arena.... so lean in on this. I will say that a Susie Qs has an edge with food quality - so again, more reason to make the family friendly atmosphere the center of attention.

I did the flyer ride. It is about a seven or eight minute ride, It was a lot of fun. It's one of those where you sit in the seats, and then the floor drops out from under you, and it is like you are flying over the city. The wind blows in your face, and when you were going over the water, you feel just a little bit of a spray. I don't want to give anything away, but it does take you all over the city. It was really a lot of fun. The only reason I'm taking off a star, is because the flyer ride is a bit expensive. It's $14 per person, adult or child. That wasn't too bad for myself, but if you are more than two or three people, it can add up. Regardless, it was well worth the money for myself to do. I wouldn't come back to see the same movie, but if they changed it, I would ride it again.. This ride is also part of the "San Francisco city pass. I had fun.. Thanks!
