Common questions

Action games cover a wide range here, from foam darts for eight-year-olds to airsoft scenarios that run for hours. The tabs above split the catalog by game; if you have not picked one yet, start from the ages in your group — that narrows the field faster than anything else.

Which place is right for us?

3 venues in total. If the group has not settled on a game yet, start with ages — that narrows it faster than anything else, because a seven-year-old and a bachelor party belong in different places. Then price, then the icons. More opens the full listing.

How much does it cost?

The lowest entry price here is $17 per person, at Main Event Waco. Every card shows a starting price the same way, and starting is the operative word: it covers the simplest package, usually one game and basic rental. The final number depends on group size, how many rounds you play, and the day of the week — weekdays are cheaper almost everywhere, and groups of ten or more usually get a better rate per head.

What happens if it rains?

Both: 2 venues are indoors and 1 outdoors . Indoor arenas run the same way in February and July, which is the whole argument for them, and they suit younger kids and tighter schedules. Outdoor fields give you room, terrain and longer games — the trade is that a forecast can move your plans. If the date is fixed and the party is small, indoors is the safer booking.

Is this good for a kids birthday?

Most places here are set up for it — 3 venues have at least one of the party pieces: Party Room — 2 venues, Arcade — 2, Birthday Packages — 1. The thing to confirm is the room, not the game: a venue with a dedicated party room runs birthdays on a schedule, with a slot for cake and presents, while one without it means eating in the lobby. Ask about the minimum number of kids and whether you can bring your own food.

Can we get food and drinks there?

3 of the venues here have food or a place to sit: Lounge Area — 3 venues, Soft Drinks — 1. For a party that matters as much as the game — the game takes an hour, the rest of the afternoon happens around a table.

What else is on site?

2 of these venues have other attractions on site: Bowling — 2 venues, Arcade — 2, Go-Karts — 1. Useful when the group is mixed — not everyone wants to play the full session, and a place with somewhere else to be handles that better.

What is actually on site?

3 venues here have the basics covered: On-Site Referees — 3 venues, Gear Rental — 2, Changing Rooms — 1. These are the details nobody thinks about until they are missing — a place to change out of the gear, somewhere to keep bags, a room that is a reasonable temperature in August. The icons on each card show what that venue has, and More opens the full list.
