Pacific East Mall in Richmond has a family-owned new-ish Claw Crushers spot inside and it was…read morehonestly so much fun. We came to the mall for dim sum on a Sunday and after adding our name to the waitlist, we walked around the mall to checkout some of the newer establishments. We knew Claw Crushers was coming in, but this is the first visit where they were open! You can determine how many coins/tokens you would like to purchase to play at the front desk. Because we were taking off for a meal, we decided to start with $5 aka 5 tokens. Well of course, that turned into $15 real quick :) There's enough claw machines to play from with a group, and our family giggled trying to win a prize for our kiddo. My mom and husband ended up both winning, and while we were there, it seemed like most guests were taking something home which was nice to see! These winning stuffies are now apart of our regular rotation, and we will definitely be back next time we're at the mall. Our kiddo may even be a little bit taller to reach the controller next time! A fun addition to Pacific East Mall, no doubt.

Have held meetings in the space and will be holding a workshop in the very near future.read more

To these woman keep doing what your doing! Thank you & happy holidays.

So fun and unique. Came here with someone I was meeting for the first time and we had a blast…read more Games were a good mix of mental and physical. Lots of figuring things out and collaborating. We sucked but took it in stride and still had a really good. Currently there are 6 gaming rooms, though more rooms are in the works. The games offered in each room change depending on how many people are in your group. And there are different levels, so once you beat the game, you can return to the same room to advance to the next level. If you fail, you leave the room for it to reset and then can return to try again as many times as you want. I'd never done escape rooms or anything like this, and was really impressed at the sophistication and technology. You get 1 hour and 45 minutes to play, and time flies fast. Came on a Friday night at 8pm and there were only about 2 other groups. Free parking in lot. The man showing us around (Tim?) was really nice. Overall a great experience to try. I'll be back with other friends for sure.

Unfortunately but I guess fortunately there is always work being done in and/or around our streets, and last month I had to frequent somewhere outside of the home work office to go Monday-Friday for consistent internet service. Located across from 711 and next to Jenny K (the cutest local gift shop) and Well Grounded (our local coffee and bagel spot), Juku feels like a comforting sanctuary and home away from home to get work done. If you're looking to have a private conversation or work meeting, they have two private rooms but also comfy digs for open coworking/solo working. What I love most is the feeling upon entering. They offer coffee, sparkling water, packaged snacks, and just overall great community love. It feels like you're going into the office with water cooler talk without going into an office. I noticed a few regulars bringing their meals from home to microwave around lunch time. Most recently I was presenting on a work call and they ensured I had everything needed for me to be successful (and with solid internet!) Check out their website for events like game nights at their beautiful space, and if you're ever in a pinch, (for a fee), they have ya covered!

I checked it out recently for a pop-event I'm planning and found it clean, bright and spacious. It is a nice spot for co-working and they also have a few private rooms that can be used for meetings. Extra points for their complimentary snack bar with refreshments and light nibbles for customers.

I have only been to the outside free park for this business. I do not know much about the inside…read moreprogram or what renting entails. The outside park was lots of fun for my kids. There were many different options for play. There were several different types of swings including a ball based "zip line". There was a piano, tricycles, bikes, balance bikes and other leg push rolling type of toys. There are plastic play houses to climb and play on as well. The only problem for me was the bathroom. The bathrooms were not opened when I went and I do not know when the bathrooms do open. I also wonder if they have drop in classes - the website isn't very clear on how the indoor facility is used. I would pay for drop in art classes or similar things if I knew about them.

The storyline was really consistent and the puzzles were fun but not too out-there. The props and puzzles were super high fidelity and custom made. The room design is really solid for a larger group - there are usually always multiple puzzles going on at once, so everyone can participate in something and nobody is totally left out. We didn't end up using any hints, but our host, Paul, was super friendly and took a bunch of time to explain how the room was designed, the inspirations for a bunch of the puzzles, and a lot of the mechanics afterwards. It's pricey, but I highly recommend! They have another room in the works, supposedly coming out later this year, and we will definitely be back.

Unfortunately, our experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. We were the first customers to arrive when they opened, yet there was no one at the front desk. We stood there waiting until an employee finally came out. He had us sign a waiver even though we had already completed it online. The first thing we noticed was how dirty the place was. There were used Band-Aids and blood-stained alcohol wipes scattered across the check-in counter. It immediately gave us concerns about the cleanliness of the facility. When it was time for axe throwing, the employee asked if we'd done it before. We told him we hadn't, and he replied that he didn't really know how to do it either. The only instruction he gave was that he thought we should hold the axe at the base and throw it. There was no demonstration, no safety briefing, and no guidance. The axes and throwing knives were extremely dull and rarely stuck in the target. At one point, half of the wooden target wall split in two and fell to the floor, exposing the wall behind it. Despite this obvious safety issue, the employee was nowhere to be found. He disappeared into the back office and never checked on us. About halfway through our session, another group of customers arrived and waited nearly 20 minutes before he finally came out. He simply told them to wait while he prepared their rage room. After we finished axe throwing, we had to go find him so we could start the rage room. He told us to give him a minute to set it up but offered no instructions about what we should do in the meantime. We ended up reading the posted signs ourselves because no one explained the process. The rage room itself was very small and contained only a few bottles, two tires, a printer, and a speaker. Our package was advertised as lasting nearly an hour, but we were completely finished in about 25 minutes because there simply wasn't enough to break. Before leaving, we asked to use the restroom. It was just as dirty as the rest of the facility, with used paper towels all over the floor and more discarded bandages. It was obvious the place hadn't been properly cleaned before opening, or possibly for quite some time. Overall, this was one of the worst entertainment experiences we've ever had. Between the lack of cleanliness, poor customer service, minimal instruction, safety concerns, and the disappointing value for the price, we cannot recommend this place. If I could give it a -10, I would. Save your time and your money and go somewhere else.
