In The Game Reno

Where the Fun Lives in South Reno

In The Game Reno sits inside the South 40 entertainment complex in the southern part of Reno, Nevada. It’s a family entertainment center that pairs a sprawling arcade with premium attractions, all under one roof. The venue is a natural stop for families, groups of friends, and anyone looking for a lively indoor activity in the area. The space is built around the idea of “hot games and fun food,” with a restaurant and dining options woven into the experience. Because it’s part of the larger South 40 complex, visitors can easily combine gaming with dining and other entertainment in a single outing.

Step Inside the Free-Roaming VR Arena

The centerpiece of In The Game Reno is its massive free-roaming EXTREME Virtual Reality arena, powered by Zero Latency VR. Unlike seated VR experiences, this arena lets players move freely in a space roughly the size of a tennis court, with no cables or wires tethering them down. Up to eight friends can play together in the same virtual world. The game library is varied and immersive, including titles like Undead Arena, Sol Raiders, Zombie Outbreak, Singularity, Far Cry VR, and Engineerium. Sessions run either 15 or 30 minutes, and there’s a buyout option for groups that want the arena to themselves. It’s a genuinely different kind of gaming that appeals to both first-timers and seasoned players.

Laser Tag and Arcade Action

Beyond VR, the club offers a multi-level laser tag arena equipped with state-of-the-art interactive laser guns and targets. The arena features a ramp leading to a large second level with passageways, corridors, and plenty of spots to sneak up on opponents. Players need to be at least 48 inches tall to join, and a game costs 48 Play Credits per player. The arcade itself is packed with a wide selection of games, from the newest state-of-the-art titles to timeless classics. There are crane games stuffed with prizes, giant rolls of prize tickets, and motion simulators for extra thrills. On Double Play Days (Tuesday through Thursday), all arcade games run at half price, making it a budget-friendly option for regular visits.

Parties, Groups, and Celebrations

In The Game Reno is a popular spot for birthdays, with three party packages (MVP, Ultimate, and Epic) that include Play Credits, premium arcade plays, video play time, mini-bowling or ride-on pals, and a dedicated Party Captain who handles setup, food service, and cleanup. Two party rooms can host up to 40 people, and the venue also welcomes youth groups, adult groups, and corporate events. The venue is well suited to birthday parties, family outings, and group celebrations. For those planning a gathering, there are build-your-own package options and add-ons like mini-bowling lane rentals, attraction bundles, and souvenir backpacks. The staff, including party captains and arcade managers, are frequently praised in reviews for being engaging, helpful, and attentive.

Food, Rest, and the Little Extras

Because the club is inside South 40, dining is easy to arrange, and party packages include pizza with the option to order from the full South 40 menu. There are reserved event spaces where guests can relax between activities, and the venue offers mini-bowling lanes and ride-on pals for younger children, making it a well-rounded destination for mixed-age groups. The venue also sells Play Cards that load up with credits for arcade games and attractions, with larger bundles offering bonus credits. Video play passes let guests enjoy timed free play on video games. With its combination of VR, laser tag, arcade, bowling, and dining, In The Game Reno works well for birthdays, corporate team-building, school groups, and casual nights out.
