    Arcade area
    Kayla P.

    Had so much fun here! We had a family skip day and went here one night. The kids had so much fun. We played an assortment of arcade games. There are some that you can play together as well. They have options for bowling and a food as well. The staff was helpful when we had questions. The music was playing and definitely filled the space. I would recommend for parties or group outings.

    Overpriced, underwhelming ice cream might be the only negative takeaway. They had a slew of crane machines, some with prizes CLEARLY too heavy for the crane to lift, but otherwise bet fun. Reaching games, shooting games, co-op and competitive. Located in the grapevine mills mall, complete with a full bowling alley, this makes for a fun event day.

    This place is amazing! It is the arcade of arcades, with lights flashing and bells ringing, as well as all the machines making their noises. Though it is many things in addition to an arcade, the ambiance is straight arcade! You can bowl here, play pool, play ping pong, sing karaoke, bowl, and of course eat too! The service was great. I had problem with a couple machines and there was always somebody right there to help. In fact, each section had at least 1 to 2 employees there. If you enjoy arcades I recommend you check this place out!

    What a fun arcade! This place has tons of arcade games as well as an extensive crane game section, bowling, and karaoke. There is fun for everyone! I thought the prizes would be overall terrible but I actually was impressed with the quality of prizes here. Round 1 is from Japan and many of the prizes seemed to be very similar / same to the offerings in Japan. I was pleased to see a lot of Rilakkuma and even some Nenderoids in the ticket prize section. I didn't get a chance to play any of the games but if I lived in the area I would come back and try my hand.

    This is my family's go-to for bowling. Always a great experience. This past Saturday, we brought out a group of 14 couples from our church. Happened to be the one Saturday it has rained in the past 2 months, so the place was packed . The manager Justin was a great help in getting our large group on 5 lines for bowling and out the door in time for our next activity. Highly recommend!

    I love this place for their arcade section alone. The range of games and activities offered has something for literally anybody and everybody. They have anything from vintage arcade systems, modern racing games, interactive 2-player games, Japanese photo booths you can share with a group of friends, crane games with cute and rare prizes, and more. I have yet to try other sections such as the karaoke rooms or bowling alleys, but it's nice having all of those options available in one place.

    I've been wanting to come here to play claw machines forever and finally got to come!! It was definitely an experience! There were ROWS and rows of large claw machines with various plushies from sanrio, rilakkuma, other cute animal plushies, squishmallow, and anime figures. There were also the small claw machines to get little keychains. First of all, I think the small claw machines are less possible to win than the normal claw machines...We tried multiple times but each time the claw grabbed onto one, it would open up and drop it before it got to the drop box....I never saw anyone win anything from those but maybe we were just unlucky...Also, the credits for the small machines was 9 while it wad 13 credits for a large plush, so the large ones were more worth our time and money. On the large machines, it is definitely possible to win!! From playing a few different machines, it seems like each plushie has a weak spot that if the claw is able to grab that area, it will stay in the claw to the drop box. We played for a while and were able to win 3 big plushies, which we were very excited about! The workers were also very nice about resetting the plushies and wanted to see us win haha For the rest of the arcade, they also had taiko no tatsujin, which is like a japanese drumming game, DDR, and more unique japanese games! We really enjoyed this section of the arcade! All in all, I'd be prepared to spend a decent amount of money depending on how many plushies you want to win and how many games you want to play! I think we probably spent around $80-90 shared between 3 people, which isn't too bad and had a lot of fun!! 10/10 would recommend!

    This place is very addicting and so much fun! My friends took me to this location for my first Round1 visit back in 2021 and I've been a huge fan. My goal is to get good with crane games before I visit Japan. They have arcade games, DDR, crane games, bowling, karaoke, pool and so much more. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends on the weekends or late at night since they open until 2 AM every day! You buy the game card at the registers, and reload it when you're low. The best price to package is $100 for 800 credits, plus an extra $5 annual renewal fee. The credits are good if you play rhythm games or other arcade games that you won't be addicted to, but I only go for their crane games. Rhythm games are like 8 credits for 3 songs, so you definitely get your money's worth. I think my boyfriend only reloaded his card twice meanwhile I reloaded 5 times since Nov 2022. It's very dangerous for my wallet. I used to think the crane games are scams, but after spending hundreds of hours watching YouTube videos and playing, I would say that it's winnable with practice. I'm nowhere to the pro level, but I do win a couple of plushies every time I visit. Of course, I have to limit myself to how many tries I should do per machine before moving on. It cost 13 credits per play, so around $1.67 per game if you purchase the 800 credits pack. What I love about this location is the service. There are plenty of workers and they're all friendly. If you want to reset a plushie before playing, they'll do it because they want you to win as well. I like going after 10 PM because there are no screaming kids around, and I can just focus on my crane games. It seriously takes too much mental thinking for me, and it can get distracting when there are 5+ people just staring at you. Overall, it's definitely a fun spot to drop by with family and friends. I think they offer an unlimited play pass for $8 if you just want to play simple games (green swipe, NO RAINBOW). Don't come here if you can't control yourself!!

    Although this is a really cool place to go, it's a a black hole in your wallet. The crane machines are rigged so you can't win unless you play 10+ times. Breakdown of prices. If you spend $22, that's about 5.2 credits per dollar. Most of the arcade games start off at 6 credits so you're paying over $1 per game. The classic air hockey game is 12 credits so you're paying $2+ for a short game. The crane machines cost 13 credits so that's almost $3 per game. On top of that, the crane machine claws are so weak so even if you're a pro at the games, you'll spend $30 to get a prize. I loathe this place because it's heartbreaking to see parents & kids get stressed out on how expensive/rigged everything. AND the prizes given are mediocre.

    We had heard a lot about this place, so we decided to take my 12-year-old son here for his birthday…read morewith three of his friends and it was a huge hit. This is the perfect spot for kids (and honestly adults too) to burn off energy. It's a mix of human interactive video-style games and physical activity like throwing balls, jumping, running...spread across different rooms with all kinds of challenges. You definitely can't come here low-energy because you'll be moving the entire time. I booked online and chose the 90-minute option, which was $39 per person. It might seem a little pricey at first, but it actually works out well because of how the timing is structured. You rotate through rooms and sometimes wait briefly for a game to finish, so everything feels organized and not chaotic. The setup is very efficient. You get a wristband that you scan to enter games, track your points, and even create a username. There's a leaderboard screen, which the kids loved, and you can earn points toward small prizes. The whole place felt clean, well-run, and supervised without being overbearing. The floors are cushioned, which helps since you're constantly moving, and it does get a little warm just because you're so active. From what I could tell, the party setup is more of a do-it-yourself style where you have a room for a set time rather than a fully hosted experience. Also, it seems per the website you would have like food delivered. There didn't appear to be a place where you could buy water. However, we did see water fountains near the restrooms. One thing I liked is that your time is based on active gameplay, not just the clock. So while we booked 90 minutes, we were actually there closer to two hours with the flow of the games. Overall, it was a really fun and unique experience, something different from the typical party spots. The kids had an amazing time, and we would definitely come back.

And I am so happy about that!! Now I need to beat Bop! The games here are so fun and very challenging. And a really good workout depending on what you play. I seriously recommend this place to everyone. I bring friends here all the time and they always end up loving it here too.

    Such a fun place to take your family or friends. We headed to Main Event for my daughter's 15th…read morebirthday as a place for her to hang out with her friends. They were mostly interested in the arcade as well as eating some pizza in the pizza cafe. At Main Event they offer bowling, arcade, billiards, laser tag and VR. They have party rooms as well as two restaurants and bar. I did notice some specials that would be good to share. On Tuesdays they offer kids 12 and under eat free with a menu items of 11.99 or more. Happy hour is offered Monday-Friday 3:00pm -6:00 pm. On Sunday-Thursday they also offer Happy hour 9:00 pm-11:00 pm. On Monday nights they offer all you can play games after 4:00 p.m. for 12.99. Also everyday except Saturday you can play activities for 19.99 plus a 10.00 fun card. The staff was very friendly. My daughter's friend lost her phone and one of the staff was able to find that it was left in the bar. We were very grateful that he took the time to help us check. Such wonderful service and manners. We will be back if we are in the area.

    They must have a lot of new staff because it didn't seem like anybody had a clue what was going on…read more Not much acknowledgement at front desk, understand being busy, but it's easy to look up at someone standing right in front of you and say "hey I'll be with you in one moment" but that didn't happen. Bartender seemed lost. Our server who did good once he arrived, but it was 50 minutes into our 1.5 hour time, after waiting an hour for a lane. Manager also didn't acknowledge us when standing at the shoe area waiting. Asked a staff member if there was a water fountain, said no and walked away, didn't connect us with a server or say "sorry about that, you'll have to go to the bar." Just crickets. Will be going to Lewisville location instead.
