GameWorks Seattle

Very, very cool place and a great last minute find at the end of my vacation. It is a bit pricey though, per game, and for a super busy Saturday evening they had only two people working the bar so it was about a 20 minute wait to get a drink, which seems a bit ridiculous. With those prices they can definitely afford some more staff. Still, we had a phenomenal time there and would definitely go back.

GameWorks in Seattle is an awesome spot for gamers of all ages, and if you’re in town on a Thursday, you need to take advantage of their all-day play deal: just $25 plus tax (under $30 total) for unlimited gaming. While this deal doesn’t apply to ticket or prize-based games, here’s the trick—some of the machines that normally give out tickets still let you play, they just don’t dispense the tickets. Considering those types of games usually cost 3 to 15 credits per play, this turns into an incredible bargain. What makes it so great is the freedom it gives you. Once you’ve paid, you don’t have to stress about how many credits you’re burning through or whether a game is “worth it”—you just play, explore, and enjoy. Whether you’re into classic arcade fighters, racing games, or rhythm-based titles, this deal is a no-brainer for a full day of fun. Highly recommended.

Love that this place is not crowded on a Sunday! And they have my absolute favorite game ever- Taiko no Tasujin. And so many rhythm games! DDR X, DDR X2, DDR Supernova 2, Dance Maniax. They also had my other favorites- House of the Dead 2, 3, and 4 (although none of them the super cool ones you can sit inside but still amazing to have them all in one place) They also have some other newer games and VR releases such as Beat Saber. Prices on par with other chain arcades in the country. I want to go back on a Thursday for their All Day Gameplay for $25 deal! Removed one star because it's a pain to go ask for a restroom code and it was still kinda gross.
