E.E.J.L. WORLD L.L.C.

The only store in the area that ACTUALLY sells everything at MSRP! Great tournament space and it's CLEAN and air conditioned for the summer. Excited to try one of their tuffing classes. Two sets of parking in front in the lot and behind the building. Tournament play gives you access to their video game space to play any games they have. Will do custom orders for MTG product with notice before release dates for regulars. $50/month gets you 5% off products and video game play!

OMG!!! the cutest shop EVER!! Staff was so kind and took the time to walk me through the store and their services. What other shop offers all day play for a really good price and tufting classes!?!? If you have spare time for sure come check it out and see the magic for yourself! ??

My boyfriend got me the rug tufting class as a valentines gift and we had so much fun! We actually stayed for several hours beyond the scheduled class time due to our more complex design choices (for no extra cost!) Everything was wonderful. Vanessa was incredibly knowledgeable and so helpful! She really made our experience unforgettable. We're already talking about plans for our next project and can't wait to go back!

Came here for a Friday night magic new player event. Some really nice players taught me commander and I had a great time. The shop has multiple TCGs including magic and Pok?mon and hosts many events. It's worth checking out!

This place is phenomenal. The owner and her family were very nice and genuine people. And talking to them you can tell they care of taking care of the people. Wide selection from video games, cards, and clothing. But what really makes this place different is the services you can do a rug tufting class which would be a perfect date night, as well as paint nights and $10 all day pass to use their different video games and systems. Really great establishment and definitely a great place to check out.

Came for the tufting class, stayed for the vibes. Vanessa was our instructor and is the owner of the shop. She is friendly, patient and knowledgable. We had somewhat intricate designs and stayed until about 7pm (started at 10am). Not only was this not an extra charge but was encouraged (we weren't rushed) and was told we could even finish another day. The tufting process is challenging, fun, a little frustrating (can always take breaks on the arcade games) but very rewarding. This would be a great gift to t

What a gem of a shop! From the moment my family and I walked in, we were warmly greeted and immediately felt at home. The staff took the time to chat with us about their monthly events, and we were so excited that we signed up for two on the spot! Their kindness and enthusiasm made the experience even more special. The selection is fantastic, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it clear that this is more than just a store it's a community. Without a doubt, this is going to be our new go-to spot for all thing

This is a great gem of a local game+craft store that we've discovered not too long ago. Vanessa and Eli do a fantastic job making sure everyone leaves EEJL happy and fulfilled. Pokemon tournaments, Pokemon+Magic card exchanges, arcade games, tufting, personalized tshirt printing and design? Highly recommend

Very retro homey feeling family owned shop! Owners are super friendly and more than happy to chat with you, and the inside is very cool. Prices can't be beat! This is a shop that definitely cares about their customers, offering classes on rug making, sewing, and painting as well as hosting TCG play nights. They have a dozen arcade and gaming kiosks for a $10 all-day play offering more games than you'll find elsewhere for $10! I definitely recommend this shop to anyone just passing through or stopping in for

This is a one of a kind store that you won't find anywhere else in the state. Retro Arcade games you haven't seen since the 90s, the entire store looks like it came out of time capsule. Kids and adults can have fun here, granting a day filled with family bonding!!!! The owners are phenomenal people who also have their kids run and operate!!! 6/5 would recommend to anyone!!!

Stumbled across this place searching cards shops on Google. I was surprised because it is so local to me. The place is awesome offering Retro Games, Collectibles, an Arcade, an popular trading cards for purchase such as Magic and Pokemon. The best part though is the kind family running the shop and the enjoyable atmosphere. Me, my wife and son had a great time playing games in the arcade section and will be visiting regularly for the forseeable future.

Came here for my best friends boys birthday party. Such a great place for the kids. They had a blast playing games. Bring your own food, drinks, cake and there's a nice size back room to sit down and eat and celebrate. Everyone is so pleasant here. Will definitely recommend this place to others.

This family owned business is well maintained, clean, assuring, comfortable and enjoyable experience for all visitors. This place has a lively and energetic atmosphere perfect for bringing people together for a fun filled afternoon or evening. The arcade area is a great place for families to enjoy a day out, offering a fun and engaging experience for people of all ages. Just ask my five-year-old who did not want to leave! We will most definitely be returning very soon.

Very kind people and kid friendly, extremely nice and a great place to hangout. So many cool rugs and you can even take a class to learn. All kinds of old and new cool games, all kinds of card games and family run. Love this place and would recommend to all age groups.

This is a great shop. I was greeted warmly right away and shown the layout... there's a ton of games to spend an afternoon playing. Owners are super friendly and there's a great energy in the air from people having fun.

very cool place. super welcoming environment, super friendly staff, and it doesnt get more local than this. really great prices for games, really great prices to play their arcade, and they have really cool classes for how to create your own rugs and clothes!

Absolutely love this hobby and game store EEJL. Vanessa and Eli are incredibly friendly, and it's clear they genuinely prioritize creating a fun, welcoming space for everyone. The shop has such a unique charm?it's not just a spot for video game and trading card tournaments and casual play, but also a hub for creativity with DIY crafting tools and lessons for tufting and sewing. The homemade artwork/crafts featuring customers' favorite characters or elements from video games and anime colorfully adorn the sp

This is a cute, homey little store, they have consoles and games that you can rent and they hold tournaments for multiple games. They also have quite a few arcade machines and merchandise. The staff is lovely and very friendly. The store owner's kids are so silly. I really love their kitten Oreo, he's unbearably cute. Pay them a visit! <3 Oreo loves company (and sleeping!)

This store is made for gamers! The arcade games will take you back, the Magic and Pok?mon cards will make you smile! Clean, spacious, well lit. But the best part, the sheer kindness and knowledge of the staff, who are just phenomenal! We WILL be coming back. Come on gamers of Middletown, give this place a shot! A++

I had surprised my girlfriend here on her birthday to learn how to make her own rug & they did a fantastic job teaching her how to make one. I would highly recommend to everyone to come here and to check them out & they also do tournaments & etc! I also like the vintage look inside their business! A1!

Eli and Vanessa are knowledgeable, kind and care about the community of gamers of all ages. They offer tournaments, prizes, memberships and day passes to come and play games, old school consoles, games, crafting classes and more! Best variety I've seen in a game store. Also a comfortable environment and I'm excited to come back to play some games with my friends. I bought a game boy color, and they let me play the game before I bought it. The art and gaming vibe is awesome. Thank you so much!

Such an amazing little family run store!! Both events i went to were filled with such kind & friendly people. The Owners genuinely care about the hobbies and the customers who walk through their doors. There's a strong sense of community & comradeship here that it makes you want to stay. Come buy,sell,trade cards here & come play some old & new video games. Literally fun for the whole family; There's truly something for everyone here. I could keep going on and on about this place but I won't. See for yourse

Love love loved this place. filled with so much love, support and fun. the owners are super sweet, genuine, family people. definitely a place to go to to not only shop - but meet some pretty cool people !

Absolutely wonderful spot filled with great in shape retro games and arcade. Eli and the rest of the staff are a pleasure and will help with anything you need. One of the best Local Game Stores I have stepped foot in.

What a great place for all ages. Vanessa is so kind, fun, patient, and a great teacher! If you've thought of trying tufting or sewing, this is a great place to start with hands on instruction. Pro tip: bring some water and snacks because you're gonna wanna stay all day.

The owners are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. If you want a place for your kids to come and play some retro games COME HERE. This place is amazing. Will 100% be back

Very pleasant and inviting , staff very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of their items . Felt like I was taking a trip back in time to the arcade era , plenty of games and variety of consoles. Felt welcome my daughter loved the place keeps asking to go back ..

In September I had put out feelers for a local business that could help me with creating a memory bear to commemorate my grandfather, who passed away last Christmas. I ended up going to EEJL WORLD LLC after a few folks on our town Facebook forum has recommended them, and had the most fantastic experience. I had brought in a few shirts just a week or so before Christmas and was ready to have hopes dashed that it would never be ready for the holiday. Other businesses I contacted had stop orders back in Septem

Super cool place. Very nostalgic and filled with tons of cool 90s games and toys! Built with love and ran by an amazing family with alot of craft skills. Cant wait to go back!

first time visiting I felt very welcome. Eli & Eli are both very friendly & willing to answer any questions you may have. I recommend EEJL world for anyone into gaming. Anywhere from retro, card, to newer games. You name it. They have it.

I absolutely fell in love with EEJL World, the nostalgia!! The endless amount of games gaming platforms and collectibles will have you entertained for quite some time. It's a family owned and operated business, it is a very clean and friendly establishment I felt as if I was right at home as soon as I walked in. Will DEFINITELY be back

We visited this awesome family run Arcade/hobby shop. Very friendly, inviting environment with amazing custom decor and very relaxed vibe. The cost was beyond reasonable and we will definitely be returning. Lots of choices for games and consoles to play on. And if you ever need someone to play with there's always someone available to enjoy gaming with you. Definitely support this small local business.

As a tournament goer, this was easily one of the most friendly experiences I've ever had. If there is anyone who misses an arcade experience or just want to have some fun local multiplayer with friends this is definitely the place to go. Check out their tournaments too!

Whether you're into video, retro, arcade or card gaming, toys, comics, collectibles and memorabilia, or your bringing life to your own fun designs including hobby crafting classes for tufting, sewing, embroidery and beyond, this magical place is a one stop shop and a definite must visit place for Connecticut, New England and beyond. Their prices are great and likely better than anywhere you'll find for hundreds of miles around. It's entirely family owned, and you'll regularly find all 4 of the kids (whose i

This place is a hidden gem! They've got some amazing video games and consoles. Prices are very reasonable as well. I bought a PlayStation 1 that's in perfect condition and they made sure to test everything. The owners were super friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely be back.

I visit CT once a year to visit friends and family and a friend took me to this shop. Great atmosphere, family run and inviting for potential shoppers and tournament participants. The next time I come to CT I will stop by this shop again!

I recently visited EEJL World and was absolutely delighted with my experience! As a family-owned establishment, the warmth and passion they put into their service truly shine through. The owners and staff are exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help us. My boyfriend and I even made our own custom rugs.

What an amazing shop. Owners were personable and welcoming. Great atmosphere and an even amazing layout. From trading card games to retro arcade machines, there is nothing quite like this shop in CT. They even allowed my puppy in the shop as they are a pet friendly store. Will 100% come back and refer others to this gem!!

I had a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend. Can't wait to come back and finish my rug

Really cool place with a variety of games and activities. Events/tournaments are excellent and owners are really engaged, can tell there is a lot of passion put into it and appreciation and respect for their customers.

A very well maintained and friendly place for anyone that comes, the owners are the nicest, down to earth people ever, i can easily recommend this place for either retro games, arcades, rug making classes, or just hang out, love the atmosphere in here.

Had the pleasure of playing in a tournament here and can't wait to come back! Great friendly atmosphere, plenty of space to play all around, and a wide variety of games for everyone.

I stumbled upon this establishment online while looking for tufting classes, it was closer to me and so worth the experience!! The staff was very knowledgeable and made me feel like a pro, considering it was my first time. From the displays on the wall, to the retro games in the lobby the nostalgia was incredible. I relieved my inner child and will definitely be scheduling again in the near future.

Super nice owners with an actual passion for the gaming products they carry. Great storefront with awesome decorations that any gamer would want to check out.

When I first stepped into this store, I expected a small, simple shop, but what I discovered completely exceeded my expectations. It's a blend of nostalgia, community, and creativity. From the moment we entered, the mother welcomed my friends and me with warmth and enthusiasm. She took the time to show us around, explaining everything they offered and sharing their exciting future plans. It was heartwarming to see a family working together, having fun, and truly caring about their customers. The store is a

Super awesome store really friendly and family run! Great arcade games to play, parts/games to buy and a great spot to play cards as well

Great store! They have a variety of arcade games and video games to play, with also Pokemon tournaments and the owners a great to chat with! I enjoy going every time ??

Step into E E J L World and you'll instantly feel at home. Everyone here is super friendly and helpful, and there's always something new to discover. From the latest gaming systems to vintage toys and colorful rugs you can even make yourself, there's something for everyone.

Absolutely loved every second in this store. They have something for everyone. I got to revisit my childhood on the ps2, my girlfriend snuggled with their cat. We'll be coming back here often

I order customed made Christmas shirt for the holidays. I was late in ordering and was amazed that they were able to complete my order on time. I have ordered multiple times and the quality and service are top notched. Eli and Vanessa provide amazing customer service and keep you informed on your order. They explain everything in details (product, price, delivery). I previously order shirts for a job event and an embroided sweater.

A very nice small store in a convenient location. Vanessa is super nice and helpful and they try to run as many tournaments as they can every week for any game people will show up to play. They also have a pass which gives you access to a full day of a ton of games on a ton of new and old consoles. They just added a lot more space which makes it an even better place to hang out or to participate in tournaments!

Played a TCG league cup here and had lots of fun! The family are really kind people and their shop was super homey - arcade games, rug making and really fun prizing. Will be coming back again!

Friendly, inviting, amazing selection of games and toys spreading the spectrum. Welcoming family runs the place with a myriad of activities. From chasing old memories via a slate grey Nintendo light gun, board games in the back, or any other system you can think of. You can't help but smile as you walk in the door.

Came to check out pokemon cards but left with a happy inner child. Very nostalgic and they had a range of video games for you to play. I love the vibes both Eli and Vanessa bring and everyone there is super friendly. I would definitely recommend you to visit and check them out!

Great store. Family owned and they make you feel like family. Great place to get in your game fix and learn a cool craft.

I came here for a pokemon tcg league cup and I was truly amazed and blown away what I walked into. Lots of arcade and gaming consoles available to play for kids and adults. The owners and owner's children were very polite and helpful throughout the time I was there. Highly recommend checking out this store.

I have to highlight this up and coming place. They are the type of people in the tabletop gaming and card game community that you like to see! The family is a great group of people. Pokemon TCG tournaments, Smash Brothers Ultimate Tournaments and ridiculously good prices. Check them out!

I brought my Nintendo Switch Lite in to have the defective USB port replaced. The owner was clear that repairs are done by her 16 year old son and that he is unlicensed and still learning. It took some time to fix as he had to acquire new repair equipment and bring in an expert to teach him some things but it was fixed well in the end. He communicated well and knew his limits. I consider this a win-win: The price was very good and he got to build his experience and skill set. Very nice family business. Go

Awesome place! Great experience! Awesome family owned vibe with tons to do in store! A definite check it out spot!

Best small business in town, they have tournaments for card games, rug classes, and actually .. all kinds of classes. They are amazing and a one stop shop. I'd recommend to anyone. The owners and family are amazing!!!

Great experience here! Staff is very welcoming and helpful. Came for TCG and the event ran smoothly. Pricing on entry/items was great. Prizing was one of the better of local card shops.

Absolutely amazing environment. Every person you talk to is very welcoming. The owners are more than hospitable, prize support for Tcg was great! Being able to play arcade games before and after Tcg is very refreshing from other stores! Went with my two buddies and it was a near perfect day being there!

very nice place! a friend told me to check them out and i?m very glad i did. spent a few hours here and really enjoyed my time playing a few rounds of the pokemon tcg and chatting with the family. all very nice people, and a really cool store front. definitely a shop to check out ??

This place is so wonderful. It is a fun family environment. They are so lovely and so helpful. We did a tufting class and it was amazing.This was the only place I found in CT that teaches tufting. It was so informative. We can't wait to finish our rugs. Pictures are coming soon

Rug tufting was a 10/10 unique experience! The owner was so so helpful and walked us through every step of the process. She was very patient. Will definitely return to make another rug.

This place is great, a small family store who really cares about their customers. They have some hidden retro game gems. I have been hunting for an orange GameCube controller for months, they had one in stock i purchased immediately but it had some sticky buttons and they gave a deep clean to the controller for free. Even if you don't stop in to buy anything it's a fun atmosphere just to play some classic games. Be careful if you choose to play the younger kids however their age will deceive you and they wi

Amazing instructions, and tons of fun. Vanessa is a great instructor! Highly recommend!

A great family owned business that caters to a unique gaming experience. Eli and Vanessa and the family go out of their way to make you feel like part of the family. We stopped in after a Fun In trip and were pleasantly surprised to find this gem. We found a Nintendo switch game we were looking for and some Pokemon cards and accessories that my son was super excited about. This is a great place to bring your kids, so many awesome gaming experiences and great people to play with. We are thinking of adding on

This place has the best family owners, and they have a great variety of games. You could play all day in there!

Very friendly and inviting place, family run, authentic, fair, etc. Lots of cool retro hobbyist stuff to check out. There's not much like it around.

Good place for kids and adults To play game arcade and consoles they do tournaments and make rugs and shirts Pok?mon ,Mario and they do classes please come through and support my friend and that will be appreciated. Thank you everyone

The owners were quite lovely and super helpful. The games were fun to play and the community they've created is kind and fun to play with

i brought my niece here for a rug tufting class and all i can say is we had a blast!!! vanessa was very sweet, helped us so much and was so patient! i would definitely recommend taking this class. it was so fun! my niece wouldn't stop talking about it all day lol

One of the best hobby stores in CT. A really amazing, friendly and enthusiastic family runs the business and they have a ton of really amazing items from cards to figurines to videogames. They host a bunch of awesome events including Pok?mon and Smash tourneys, and will likely be running MTG events in the near future with a desire to get into dungeons and dragons as well. Truly worth the visit and honestly worth the drive if you're into anything videogame, cardgame or comic book related. 100/10.

Great chill place to play magic lots of other games definitely the new magic spot to chill great family that runs the place lots of fun

Great new spot with an awesome atmosphere. They extended the store and play area recently. We had a great potluck and tournament.

I've been going here with my friends for the past few months for their Smash Bros tournaments, and it's been an amazing experience each time. The shop is family owned, and they're extremely kind and welcoming. Outside of the great tournaments they run, they also have pretty much everything a gamer or collector would love. They have many retro arcade machines, games and collectibles from all eras, and even offer handmade tufted rugs that are based on pop culture and gaming. If you don't find one you enjoy, y

Great selection, friendly staff, and awesome deals ? the perfect game shop for every gamer!

Recently purchased a bunch of hats with the company logo. They came out perfect. Couldn't be more happy with the quality of the embroidery. Thank you for the quick turn around!

What an awesome place! Owner and her son are so friendly and knowledgeable. Good selection of vintage and current gen consoles and games. The tufting rugs are beautiful. Vintage t-shirts. Will definitely be back to buy some games and older consoles. You can try out games before you buy. Super chill atmosphere, a hidden gem of a place. So happy I found this unique store! Support small businesses and try this place before you run to gamestop.

Had such a great experience here for a tournament. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and even for a first timer, there was a very comfortable sense of community. Family friendly and, full of a collection of every gaming generation, check it out!

This place is AWESOME! It's a gamer?s dream come true! I took my son and a few of his friends to celebrate his birthday. He said it was the best birthday party he ever had! The owner is friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back very soon.

super cool place! caters to a bunch of different interests. staff are welcoming, friendly, and helpful! will be back~

Brought my kids to their first video game tournament today and will definitely definitely be coming back. owners and their children made my kids feel at home and like they have been friends for years. They also have other activities. We definitely will be trying out.

Amazing shop, great people, awesome deals. I went in to get a new battery installed for my gameboy game. Super fast, and they work on old games and systems. The evens they host are great.

This place is great! I was able to gift my kids some switch games I was looking for. They were able to make my step daughter a very nice Minnie Mouse rug and shirt. It was perfect down to the detail. I recommend anyone with kids who are into this videos games and express their art to check this place out. They are very welcoming and the tournament they host are great for kids to meet their age range.

It's an incredible place to be at! The local tournaments are always fun to be a part of and having the the top 3 winners pick the design for shirts is awesome. Having all the classic arcade machines can definitely bring back some good memories. The owners are just lovely to be with and very receptive to the customers and the players that show up. Seeing the tufting work they have always amazes me!

Extremely welcoming environment for those who nerd out over all types of games. I'm glad I found out about this place.
