Reviews Summary

Dave & Buster's receives mixed reviews, with many praising excellent service, fun atmosphere, and good food, especially for group events. However, complaints highlight inconsistent service, rude staff, overpriced games, and poor food quality. Accessibility issues and malfunctioning arcade games are recurring problems. While some guests had outstanding experiences with attentive servers, others faced long waits, incorrect orders, or dismissive management. The venue excels in hosting large parties but struggles with consistency in both dining and gaming experiences.

Customer Reviews

Didn't eat here. Came to play. It was super fun. Lots of games!! The ticket stand does need different toys but all in all was a great experience! Will definitely be back!!

1st time in. We sat at the bar. Plenty of TVs to watch basketball. Ariyana was our bartender and her service was spot on, best service we've had in years. She really made the experience worthwhile. Drinks were never empty. Food came out with perfect timing. The Brussels were delicious as was the 5 cheese flatbread. My husband had wings and the Barbocoa fries. Said both were great. Topped off with the strawberry cake for dessert. Definitely recommend.

Had a blast yesterday night! The arcade was lots of fun and the food was delicious! I got the spicy crispy chicken strips, and the mango honey mustard sauce was amazing. We also had the s?mores cheesecake. It was decadent and I really enjoyed the toasted marshmallow on top. One negative thing I would say is the arcade music was really loud! It was a little overwhelming for me and my nephew is autistic, so he was covering his ears quite a bit. Also, am I crazy or was there no skee ball? I've never seen an a

Red velvet shake was a whole ass MOUTHGASM. Lord help me. The fish and chips was different from what I'm usually used to. I usually like a fair amount of batter on mine as well as a decent crispy texture. This fish and chips was lightly battered, but the fish was juicy and moist. The seasoning also was splendid. I was surprised by this one, but surely enjoyed it. The garlic parmesan fries were executed PERFECTLY. The brussel sprout could have been a little more crispy, but still tasted good. The bacon c

Funnel fries and pasta were good. Jay was nice and had good sociable skills. I came with my girl and we had a good time! Will be coming back.

Jayden gave Great Service. We sat at the bar and service was amazing, we didn't have anything to worry about. The bartenders worked great together and made sure that they were very attentive. My only criticism is the amount of Chocolate used on the Big Daddy Chocolate Cake. Use less chocolate.

On the expensive side, kids were not happy with the choices in the prizes. Food is decent. I didn't like that they charge extra for a side of ranch or want to charge 3.99 for an extra blue raspberry lemonade for my kids, if I pay the upcharge for the first one it should be free refills. We got about 30min of play for $35.

Very fun, but be careful they will pressure you without being clear how many unlimited cards they are charging for! Food decent but it's super loud directly connected to the game area . Some VR games and other games were broken

It's so awesome having a D&B in town now! The new location has a great atmosphere and is well designed. We had 4 people in our party and everyone, even the picky eaters, loved their meal. The server, Cassandra, was attentive and kind. The food came out fresh and fast. The drinks were amazing! I had the Monkey Shoulder Punch. YUM!! Not too sweet and just the right amount of punch ??. I regret not trying the desserts, but the meal portions were so large that we couldn't finish our plates. The Buffalo wings ar

Had a wonderful mother/ daughter day. Had so much fun playing all sorts of games! My daughter was a little sad towards the end whe. We realized we enjoyed playing games that didn't issue tickets and didn't collect enough tickets to really purchase anything in the store! Lesson learned play less car racing video games and more ticket collecting games If you want to visit the item shop ???? we will definitely be back and next time for food! I recommend making a reservation. We came for lunch and didn't think

Pretty fun place to spend some time with friends! The drinks during the happy hour are pretty affordable. My husband got all you can eat wings for 24$, and they also give you 10$ to play. The wings were pretty small, but the breading was nice and crispy and the sauces were delicious. Our waitress was amazing, I can't remember her name but she has red hair and she was one of the best waitresses I've ever met since being in the U.S. Can't wait to come back!

First off I love Dave and busters just not this one?we seated ourselves at the restaurant because there was no hostess with sat the for about 20 minutes then had to let them know we were even there we ordered appetizers and drinks which took 30 minutes to even get our drinks which was horrible and we had to send our drinks back?so after we ate the subpar food we went to the bar thinking it would be faster service. Wrong!! Took equal amount of time the bartender tried to explain to us we were standing at the

The manager, on Sunday evenings, was very disrespectful, acted very inappropriately, didn't check IDs for drinks and demands we leave our seats because not enough people were in our booth at ?peak hours?? but nowhere was that expressed! Photos of peak hours of football Sunday afternoon/evening,.. went out of his way to ruin time for the kids.

We had a fundraising "Spirit Night" here. We had a man in a wheelchair and several people who are not able to sit at high-top tables. Nader and his staff quickly switched out a couple of tables to accommodate these people in our group. We had a group of 42 attendees. Nader, the waitress, and the rest of the staff were on top of everything. There was no waiting for service or for food. The food was not only delicious; it came to the table and was hot. The waitress staid on top of drink refills and nobo

Service was really good. Food was ok. Like all D&B's, they use a really scummy pricing method to obfuscate the ridiculous price of the games.Game selection at this particular one wasn't great, almost entirely ticket games that you can play at the Manitou Penny Arcade 10% of the price. Prizes were also pretty mid. My kids went through their $50 game cards in about 30 minutes. There's more entertaining ways to throw that much money away.

On Sunday, 27 April 2025, the Pikes Peak Marine Corps League hosted our family night fundraiser event at the Colorado Springs Dave and Buster's. Everything was outstanding! The entire leadership team, evening chefs, hostess team and servers were so helpful, it made our entire evening so much fun. From the moment we arrived the entire D&B team made us feel like we were part of a family. They helped us setup our tables, welcome our guests and made our event a highlight of the evening. Everyone was thrill

It was fun but they need to fix their games!! I spent around $75 for tokens and some games, I would swipe my card and the game wouldn't start! And it wont say anything and I would try to swipe again and it kept taking off tokens and I didn't even notice because I thought I wasn't swiping my card right because the game wouldn't start! I got tokens taken away for games not working and not functioning properly. They was many games that were not functioning or broken

We had a Marine Corps League family night event at Dave and Busters and was treated to fantastic service, great food and a fun had by all. We didn't have to ask for or even wait for refills. can't wait for the next event!! Thanks All!!

The food has been fabulous everytime I have visited. The service on the other hand is over worked and under staffed. It takes way to long to be acknowledged and served. Pro tip Make sure the waiter leaves the payment processor at the table so you can properly evaluate bill and tip.

Had a pretty big group 10-15 people that they weren't ready for, had a few orders missed but understandable, and they were eventually fixed. Food was actually pretty good! Games are pretty expensive, so be prepared if you plan to play for a while

Welcome to Briargate! Great addition to the area. I have visited Dave and Buster?s around the US and I don't remember the food being this good. Both meals were top notch and the service was very attentive.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Dave & Buster?s, thanks to our amazing server, Tai! From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure our entire group?kids and adults alike?had a blast. She went out of her way to engage with our kids, making them laugh and keeping them entertained, while also making sure the adults were well taken care of. Our drinks were always full, our food came out quickly, and her positive energy made the whole experience even more fun. If

If you want hands down phenomenal service Fay is the way to go! We love Dave and Busters however this time was extremely exceptional. Fay kept our drinks full and recommended all her favorite things to us and not one of them was disappointing! Not to mention she was very friendly to our kiddos & made sure their experience was just as wonderful. If I could give 100 stars for her service I would. I'll be back, but specifically because we won't get service like Fays anywhere else! ??

We had Jay for the night and though it was a busy start, he made sure we were taken care of by another waiter initially and continued to check in with us. He brought us our drinks and passed on his appreciation for our patience. Great service!!

Pros: Quite a few games for everyone to enjoy. The burger and ribs were good. Cons: So loud!!! It is extremely expensive for what you get. The food and games are both pricy. Food can be quite greasy.

Our first time here at the Dave and Busters in the Springs. Srna was our waitress and took great care of us. She helped us pick the best option for food and games. This location is very clean too. We will definitely be back.

The Food was good I had the chicken Alfredo the chicken was delicious but the pasta was lacking flavor. The waitress was amazing always making sure we were taken care off super nice and friendly loved the service. It was super fun they really cool games, definitely will be coming back.

I asked to be seated when there was absolutely no one waiting. I was told I could sit c anywhere so I sat at a booth. The waiter who came to help me was extremely rude even after I explained that I was told I could sit anywhere. He tried to seat me at a bar height table when I am mobility challenged. I will never spend another dime at this arcade.

If you want to be treated horrible and unvalued come and ask for Aaron (eagles fan) to be your server. His service was horrible and he had bad comments. My drink was slammed on my table, wings were raw and he took them before i was able to show a manager. He confirmed my dessert order 2 times brought the wrong dessert out and got very mad when i told him it was the wrong one. One of my buddies did not feel his service was great and in his ticket he did not tip and aaron made the table aware his ticket had n

I was very disappointed with my experience here today. My group went for our friend?s birthday, and the arcade was fine, but when we went to the restaurant area to get food it honestly ruined the experience. To start, the tv?s volumes were so loud that it was nauseating and my group had to shout just to speak back and forth and we still couldn't hear each other. I ordered one chicken strip meal and we got a bowl of the bottomless fries as well. The waiter was nice and gave us refills on our fries when we ra

Today we decided to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were immediately greeted upon entry by the host, Rodney, who seated us promptly. Our server, Melanie, was exceptional, consistently displaying a warm smile while delivering our food in a timely manner. We extend our gratitude to Melanie for taking the time to ensure our comfort and provide an exceptional experience, particularly considering we had our one-year-old child with us, who can be quite challenging.

Love the games, but tried to sit down to get some drinks and food?the host was less than thrilled to work that day. He had a hard time telling me when I could be sat, didn't put my name down, there was a big thing of over flowing trash at the front door. Didn't smile, said less than 5 words. He just seemed like he came to work wanting to do the bare minimum. Spent over $100 on game cards, would have spent more on food and drinks but couldn't even get served. Don't get it.

We didn't eat anything - just played games. Also, we got there when it opened. It took 20 minutes for 3 different people to help me charge/ put funds on my card to play games. The machines didn't work, there is no front counter at this location (manager called it a micro location), and the person who is at the redemption desk wasn't there. The manager (Nader) seemed frustrated with us that we wanted to charge our cards and play. The most helpful person was definitely Cassie, and least helpful was the manag

This place would earn it's 2 extra stars if the service was a bit faster and was worth the wait. My family of 4 was waiting for a server who was trying to get a tip from a table of 10, while neglecting our table. Maybe we weren't deemed the higher tipper. Favoritism based on more tips is just as bad as me spending 50 dollars on two appetizers and 1 meal.

Games were fun and most of them worked Edited to respond: when we walked in I told the host I'd like to dine and play. He pointed to my right. Took us a few minutes to find where to purchase cards. Didn't give us the option to dine and play. I would've stayed there longer but with 4 hungry teenagers we left after the $20 card and went and ate somewhere else. The original plan had been to stay several hours. But decided after not being given the option to eat it was better to go eat elsewhere and find someth

Jay killed it tonight, my man had them whip that food up efficiently with loads of flavors. The drinks kept coming as well! Shoutout to my man Jay and the whole D&B facility! I would highly recommend you check out this place, it just might be the best D&B I've ever been to!

Ok, so they are WAAAAAAY over priced, and then they play even more Jewish head games with you (they have a full rack on the menu for $27, and $19 for a half rack,) how you going to tell me that you're out of full racks at $27, but are more than willing to let me order two half racks @ 19 a piece. Won't be back. Ever. I don't care if I'm starving to death in the parking lot, I'll take my chances ordering a pizza rather than eat here again

The pizza they serve at the birthday party was a step down from Domino's lot of adults, play, and kids if you gonna have a party or something. That'd be a good place to do it, but it's not cheap.

App doesn't work to make a reservation, so you call and get a call center with someone who doesn't speak English, they say to go the website to do that. The bartender couldn't figure out how to use my coupon and asked for it 5 times and the manager 3 times and then refused to split the check with my buddy. From the time we sat down until we got our checks it was over 2 hours but the last 30 minutes was trying to track down our waitress to close out. She could hear us when ordering because her overweight c

The music was so loud it was distorted, and when they made announcements about what turned out to be karaoke, the sound was so distorted that I couldn't make out anything that was being said. Our waitress completely ignored us until long after we'd finished eating, never even asked if we wanted refills or anything, just delivered our food and disappeared for half an hour. The peach tea was really good, I would have liked a second glass, though. Even if we'd wanted dessert, by the time she finally came back

John Rainbows provide excellent service, as well as a fun and engaging personality. Our kids loved him, and they said he was ?the best server ever?. Also a Bluey fan, which is a green flag. Dave and Busters was a hit for our family of 4 tonight!

I have never experienced such a rude aggressive manager in my life. One of my children's meal was brought out wrong item. No big deal, it happens. Let the person who brought the food out know and they said we could keep the wrong item and they would have a rush put on the correct item. Everyone else at the table had time to eat and finish and still no new kids meal brought out. We waited 30+ minutes for a kids pizza to be brought out. By that time he didn't even want it because the rest of the table had sh

Came here on a Saturday around 4pm. There was absolutely no help/service. Do we eat then play? Do we find our own table? There was no type of guidance. My mom ended up ordering a drink ??that she did not realize was 30.99. Thankfully she was able to get it discounted however she was basically deceived. Im pretty sure no would knowingly order a drink for that price not from there at least. That drink better be super special ??The whole vibe and set up was not welcoming we could not wait to leave. My daughter

Jay our server was great. Very attentive, got what we needed when we asked. Food was fast, hot and delicious. I enjoy coming here and so do my kids! We'll be back

The food is good but if you are not here for the arcade as well I would go elsewhere. It is very noisy here even in the dining area. The food is good though and if u want to play games I recommend the dine and play combo.

I had eight people in my party and it looked very busy but the two hostess Zakary (I think that's how you spell it) and Rodney was very fast to find us a table. The service was great I believe our waitress was Melanie she was amazing I would love to come back!

The host was awful. He had his back turned to us and propped up on the host stand. He never greeted us and we had to ask for seats. I even walked in telling myself ?welcome to Dave and Busters?. He tossed our menus down and walked away. Then we seen him do the same to an older couple with children except he didn't seat them and they seated themselves. They had to stop a waitress and she said ?well the host has to seat you?. To top it off, the host seated a grout a dirty table and took the menus and scraped

Went to D&B for the first time last night and I was disappointed. My kids and I went to eat dinner and play some games. We got there about 7p and decided to order some drinks. My kids were of course asked for their ID. The server stated she would have to show the IDs to her manager because they were out of state. Several minutes later the "manager" came over to our table and stated that he could accept the IDs because they were not real IDs. I could not believe what he was saying. I asked what he mea

Yo, so I just hit up Dave & Buster?s the other day, and man?what a gnarly experience! I wasn't really sure what to expect when I cruised in, but this place straight-up blew my mind, like catching the perfect wave outta nowhere. The vibe was totally chill, the kind of place where you just wanna kick back, grab a bite, and have a killer time. First off, the food? Legit, dude. Way better than I expected. I grabbed some wings and a burger, and both were totally fire. Not your usual sketchy arcade grub?this stu

All the video games here are great, seemingly fairly clean and all in working order. But, all of the food was nasty! All of the fried foods tasted like they were cooked in 10 year old oil. Ordered bottomless fries and they came out mushy, not crisp or hot. Took forever for any food or drink to get to the table. Horrible

Cassie, was amazing at taking care of of our family. She was friendly and quick when it came to service. We were able to get our drinks and food and get back to gaming. Would I highly recommend coming out for a fun date night or family night!

Came on a Wednesday night like i always do but decided to sit down tonight and get food . BIG mistake . The service here is absolutely horrible: we started off with drinks ( dr.pepper & teas ( they don't do free refills on teas so I ordered 2 ) . Ordered nachos and our server told us they were unable to make it with chicken because ?they're out of chicken? and suggested they could make it with steak , we agreed . We decided to stand up and play a few games nearby our table ( not allowed at this location ) ,

This place is right behind my apartment and within walking distance. There's not as many games as the one in Denver and it's super loud in here. I was louder here than a lot of arcades I've been in. If you have anxiety or PTSD - it can be triggering with all the sounds and lights. This being said, it's probably not a good place to sit and talk to friends - I couldn't hear my friends in the restaurant area. Games are somewhat expensive as sometimes it takes EIGHT credits for ONE game of ski ball unless you

Manager on Friday sucks. Server + staff however was great. We went in and had an awesome time. We had gift cards to use and the manager said he couldn't honor them when they didn't scan properly. He didn't understand how they worked, and left it up to us to figure it out. Staff helped us figure it out - he was no help at all.

Great friendly staff but very disappointing food !! I spent $115 on food & it was not worth it at all. I ordered lemon pepper wings but I might as well have ordered chicken nuggets. The fries were also very disappointing, they were cold & the fried pickles were wayyyy too salty. The VR games weren't working either but the staff was very nice so I guess that was the best part.

May 31, 2025, was my son and I first time visiting Dave and Busters. My grandbaby visited D and Bs with aunt earlier this year, and he loves it. We all went to D and Bs, and we had a wonderful time. We will be going back to D and Bs very soon. Thank you.

I was trying to play the games. But it's a pain in the butt to get drinks when you ask a waitress to do it. Took her 25 minutes to bring a drink. It is what it is.

We went today with the kids. I thought it would be better then the other Dave's and Busters we been too since it was new but it wasn't. Half the games weren't working and games were expensive. Looks big on the outside but smaller on the inside. We spent $90 bucks in 40min with 3 kids. It gets pricey real fast. Then after playing a few games each kid it was over like that. Then on to the winner circle where you get the toys in exchange for tickets. A small 4 inch plush toy was over 1000 to 2000 tickets. Each

Jay helped us out! He had such amazing customer service and I work in customer service all day! He made me feel welcome especially for it being my first time in! I was super happy with the service Jay provided! Definitely will be coming back!

Didn't have a chance to try the food, but it's a pretty fun place. It seems to give you better deals and more play time than other spots like main event. I'll be back to try some food and drinks for sure.

It's a bit smaller than the one I'm used to in Denver but it's a great atmosphere and has really great games! It's very clean and friendly so I highly recommend coming here for a good time!

Miserable. Do not go here. You have been warned! I had a 20 top celebrating three birthdays together. Double vodka shown in the picture with sharpie. 12$ for a double of well vodka???!!! Worst service of my entire life. Never again!

Lots of tvs food is typical bar food. Great service, just opened so they are trying to figure it out. Crazy how man games were not working. The competition up the street has this one in the bag. It's going to be interesting to see how long it last.

Visited on 3/4. Place was not busy but could not get waited on after being sat for twenty minutes, not even a menu. Manager was too busy flirting with the wait staff and bartender to make sure workers were doing their jobs. Bartender could not serve me since my id was out of state even though I'm over 30. I'm not sure if their manager on Tuesday was just lazy or did not like Hispanic people.

The staff and service were spectacular! Springs needed a D&B, I could never find the time to get to denver to hit up one! A couple broken games we came across after just being open for a couple weeks but luckily there was still plenty of other games to play. The drinks were great, along with the food!

Excellent food and atmosphere, lots of fun. Our waitress was Srna and she was so attentive. If I owned a restaurant, I would hope to have her work for me, such energy!

My company held its Holiday Party there. Feedback from employees were extremely positive. Service was exceptional, food was delicious and the games were very fun. The event couldn't have been any better than it was. We will be back!

Great to have a Dave and Busters down here in CS finally! Relatively empty, arcade floor isn't too packed with people. With that said, the acoustics in the building is just...non existent. Constant blur of noises everywhere. Can't hear someone less than a foot away, nor can you understand the music, or game dialogue. Not as many games as the one in Denver, yet way more crammed together.

Excellent service from Jay, as always! Our food was superb and even though it was late, Jay kept us updated every step of the way! Thank you for a great time!

Had a great time at Dave & Buster's. Our bartender Jayden was awesome. Fast and friendly service with good food. Had fun playing games with my boyfriend.

What a fun time. My daughter and I had a blast. Great servers. Food was yummy and the games were awesome. Definitely coming back!

Came to celebrate good friends coming together. Discovered that ordering top shelf tequila (1942) is mandated by corporate to be iced and watered down. Won't be coming back to celebrate here. Who waters down fine tequila?!?! (A: Dave and Busters)

Nice clean place, prices are what they are but lots of fun for the family. Food was good, service was better, definitely worth picking up the summer pass

Took over 20 minutes for anyone to notice that there were three parties waiting to be seated. Waiter took another 20 minutes to even come up to us. Food was expensive and just okay?

Just had our Home Depot store holiday party at Dave and Buster's in Colorado Springs last night... and, oh, what a night! They accommodated just over 100 of us with a beautifully decorated party section, Christmas music, a delicious buffet, a personable service staff, and a professional, cheerful point of contact before and during the event! This is our second year holding our event with Dave and Buster's and there WILL be a third... and a fourth... and a fifth... I HIGHLY recommend D&B's for group celebr

We planned on celebrating my son's birthday at this location and showed up with 12 people for dinner and games. I checked the website prior to deciding to attend and called to see if I could make a reservation. Was told that they don't take reservations and we would be seated on a first come first serve basis. I cashed out credit card points for gift cards (that I am now stuck with) to make the event more affordable. Once we arrived we were told it was closed for a private event. The manager was very rude,

The service is terrible. Everyone here was so rude and acted as if my friends and I were burdens to be there on a Friday night. This is a place for entertainment and if you can't have a friendly personality, you shouldn't work here. We were not greeted, not even given a smile when ordering, wasn't given menus til asked, nasty stares from waitresses/bartenders and annoyed tones in voice. As a new establishment in Colorado Springs you'd think they would try to set a good impression yet they seem to be struggl

We did our team bonding today and it was SO MUCH FUN! Food was great and the team building experience was a blast! Our server Lo was tentative and engaging! Will return!

I haven't been to an arcade in a very long time, and I am bummed they didn't have even just one skee-ball game and one pinball game. This is NOT a sensory-friendly place, especially auditory. The overhead music was way too loud to hear each other and causes auditory chaos by clashing with the sounds from the TVs at the bar and the arcade games. Food was average. Our server was very sweet and I appreciated her attitude working on a holiday, but the adult entrees took forever to make/serve. The kids were se

We had Friends that were thrown out after a server cleared away a half full Red Bull of one of our party members. Several of us saw it happen and said friend then confronted the server about them taking a half full Red Bull. The Server rather than try to replace it or deescalate the situation get defensive says party member who asked why they took their drink cursed and now has to leave. After witnessing the entire interaction the mother of our friend goes over and tries to deescalate the situation only to

We've really enjoyed this location since it opened, they run some really great deals and specials so you can really make your money go far. The food and service has always been great and consistent, Jay took great care of us tonight!

Good time with the family, not overly crowded.. overall, it was a great experience!

Collin is the best game attendant! any time we're here he's always attentive to game needs. he's also friendly and patient with the kids. we love coming in when Collin is here!!!

This event occurred on December 30, 2024. Me and my family had been there playing games all since 4pm. When we wanted to get food we asked for a booth around 730-745pm. We were told they were for larger parties. I had a party of four. They told us where the tables were and when we looked at them I told the host and hostess that my wife could not sit at them because they were too high the host said ?Really? in an incredulous tone and the hostess rolled her eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?
