Customer Reviews

Had a great time taking my daughter here. She had a blast with all of the games. But was a bit disappointed with a few games that ate our funds. When we waited for someone to come fix it and return our credit it took forever. My daughter is coming to visit next week and I'm contemplating taking her back. She might win the vote though and I'll have to hope it's better next time.

Had my son?s second birthday here. We loved it.

In The Game has arcades, a wall climbing section, laser tag, a mini golf, and a soft playhouse for kids ages 12 and under. Reasonably priced, just purchase a card with the amount of credits you want. You simply tap the card on the arcades your children want to play. We went on a Sunday, February 11th, at 11 a.m., and it wasn't crowded. Our kids had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend this place to families.

I was visiting with friends here today and met with Sam Cox. He's super nice and gave me a mean looking burger like it was juicy in the right places! Highly recommend him when it comes to asking for recommendations and this burger is one of the best ones I've had in a while. Will come back again for the food.

Love that my kids can play for hours while we can chat and have a decent dinner along with an adult beverage. My only negative feedback is bring a few hundred dollars because it's expensive and for younger kids there are very limited prizes for tickets.

Kids love it here. Price is a bit steep for the overall attractions. I was bit disappointed in the customer service yesterday. I waited 15 minutes for a manager then the team member that said he called a manager asked what I needed again and I was still waiting on the manager. Another team member came up and gave me 24 tokens. I was like seriously!? I spent 80 dollars on 15 minutes of gameplay to win the ball drop game and I hit bonus ball drop twice in that 15 minutes and never was given the bonus balls. M

In The Game Prescott Valley is an absolute blast for the whole family! With a giant arcade, mini golf, and tons of games, there's something for everyone to enjoy. The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it the perfect spot to burn some energy and have a great time with the kids. Whether you're looking for a fun day out or a place to celebrate, I highly recommend In The Game to anyone seeking a fantastic experience in Prescott Valley!

My goodness. This place is so fun. All the machines work, it's clean, There is good customer service. And my kids actually won stuff out of the claw machines. When does that happen?

We absolutely love this place. We have the family pass , we have 2 since we have a big family) but it is a clean, safe and fun environment. Tons to do for all ages. They even have adult drinks !

I used to go here when it was ?freedom station? with my dad all the time he would take me and growing up the workers now are just rude and think they can kick anyone out and one security guard there I don't know his name but had an encounter with him telling my little cousin to get out and proceeded to kick him out when I was making sure he wasn't doing anything wrong either. They need to have a meeting with all their employees on how they treat a human being just like them spending money on the business.

I love taking my family here! It has quite a bit to do, my daughter and I both love the claw machines.

Two words! Axe Throwing! They said they had beautiful brand new axes! Wow this was so much fun for my wife and I?s date afternoon! The food was way better then expected! Got the chicken quesadilla and breaded boneless chicken strips! I'm hungry just thinking about them. It was pretty crowded on a Saturday and the buzzer for our food didn't reach the axe throwing area but this place was soooo much better then I could have ever imagined it to be. Thanks for the kind smiles and friendly attitudes desp

We had an amazing 12th birthday party on St Patrick?s Day! Thank you so much! <3

A great place for what it is. The new remodel/new ownership has really improved the place. Like the carnival games and the laser tag area a lot. Like the fact there are limited video games, too. A pretty decent value for the money and a lot of fun.

Awesome spot to play mini golf and bowl. Very affordable and great staff.

Great place to take the family to have fun and play video games. They also have lazer tag and Mini golf that was awesome. My son had a blast!

A little over priced and the jungle gym costs extra but it's fun for kids for about 5mins ??

So fun! My 2 year old loves this place, recently went to a friend's birthday party here and it was amazing! They have party rooms and cupcakes and pizza all included! Plus game cards! Wandered outside for a few and they had axe throwing and laser tag?? I had no clue!

My kids love coming here but the young workers need to work on there attitude. Always rude when we come here. I paid for the summer pass and we used the 3d machine as one of our attractions to pick from and didn't get to enjoy it because the glasses were scratched and blurry couldn't even see out of them and I politely let her know and she says " I'll keep that in mind for next time" mixes the glasses together instead of putting the scratched ones aside and storms off with a nasty attitude, she should have

Had my daughters birthday party here today and could not have been happier. The kids all had a blast. Everything was taken care of and I literally had to do nothing. By far the easiest bday I've ever done! Malakai was our host and he was awesome! Dealing with Madison so easy and painless. This whole thing was absolutely stress free!!! Will definitely do more birthdays here!

Super fun place great for kids 12 and under. Arcade games for younger kids. Our 2 year old enjoyed the indoor maze (like a McDonald's play area on steriods) tunnels, slides, stairs, hanging things to run through. They also had a miniaturized bowling alley with small bowling balls. Our 2 year old also really enjoyed the frog hopper. Similar to a miniature amusement park ride the goes up to the second story and drops the kids with smaller bounces like a frog back to the ground. Definetly will visit again. Pla

Went for the 1st time as someone trying to have fun from out of town. The mini golf was poorly taken care of, the XD Theater terrible because the glasses didn't work and was more blurry with them on, and the VR Experience we couldn't enjoy because they didn't have the face protectors. The staff was not communicative not helpful in resolving the issues. I was quite upset coming here and staff just appeared to not have any interest in making the experience any better. Update: Spoke with the general man

We had a glow party today at in the game and it was awesome! Malachi was our party host for my child?s 8th birthday party today and he was wonderful! Very attentive and fun! Madison is a sweetheart and she was very helpful and thorough with helping us plan our party. Definitely give this place a shot for your next party. It was such a fun birthday for my son and his friends.

Had my daughter?s seventh birthday party here and it was awesome. We went to Peter Piper Pizza the next week and it showed me how much better in the game is across the board. The food is way better. The staff is attentive. The games and prizes are 10 times better. As well as having other options like bowling and mini put. Needless to say we will be going to in the game from now on.

They have fun games for kids and adults. It can get really really crowded on the weekends but isn't bad on the weekdays. I feel like it's a bit overpriced but I'm not familiar with arcade pricing. The kids love the indoor maze and the mini-golf is pretty fun. My biggest complaint is that the customer service is not very good and the people who work there don't seem to really care if a game breaks or something

There is a TON of things to do here, including a small mini golf course and ax throwing range. The only problem is that there is only one person working there making it a little inconvenient to buy credits or a game of golf. But I still had a wonderful time

We use to love In The Game, back since its Freedom Station days. Slowly, this place has gotten worse and worse. This doesn't have much to do with staff, they're all so friendly! More about management and the decisions being made by them. They took away the 1/2 price pizza on Wednesdays with 1/2 price games a few years ago. Their first downfall. That was our regular Wednesday weekly tradition. Then all the game credits doubled and you now spend $80 and can hardly play anything, so half price games on Wednes

Went to celebrate my son's 13th birthday along with a few of his. It wasn't busy but there was what looked to me to be group of high school kids hanging out. I was then informed it was there hangout spot. These children started sneaking into the maze or whatever and got kicked out the game area. Well, just so happens these same kids decided to return to the game area and maze and start bullying my kids and using racial slurs towards him. Not appreciated one bit. As this was our first time I can honestly say

It was our first time to in the game. The family had lots of fun. They have daily specials that make the visit worth it. Monday is 6 bucks for burger and frys. The frys were amazing and just look at how large that hamburger patty is. There are arcade games, mini golf, mini bowling, ax throwing, and a kids maze. Our game card had issues and the worker was very helpful and compensated for the issues. We will be back for sure.

I arranged to have an office outing for my staff, and am glad we chose this place! Madison was the event coordinator that I worked with, and she was super kind and efficient. The food was good, the game selection was fun, and we all had a good time. Thank you!!

the food was delicious for a arcade... I was extremely disappointed they took the 1$ golf away on Mondays ... now they have a package for 100$ ? Huh .. just another arcade ..again

Our family really enjoys this place! Get the family pass. Pays for itself very easily. Our children are young, so we mostly do the play maze, mini bowling and get a pizza with our pass. They send out emails occasionally with free tokens. The kids love trying to win the little squishy toys. My wife and I at times will have a mini golf date here as well. A nice family center to have locally. My only complaint is I wish it opened sooner, like at 10am, and though they do a good job keeping the play maze clean,

The mini bowling game was the only thing that I could find entertaining. It's very hard to get tickets after spending $140. My daughters were only able to get cups... There are some games that used to be there before, but now it has only the lottery type stuff to get tickets now... It all felt quite limited. It's not like it used to be, but nothing ever is anymore.

To the young man who was working the back counter tonight, 1/25/24, sincerely, thank you man. I took my 6 year old goddaughter out to the movies and then to this place because I'm moving out of state soon and I wanted to have a memorable night with her before I couldn't see her for a while, and your kindness made her night. To the management, I didn't get his name, but he was scheduled for the close shift on the back counter and he deserves a raise or some PTO or something. Seriously made an otherwise medi

We were iffy about going based on the mixed reviews but my kids (5&10) had a great time and all the games were in working order and the place seemed very clean. We didn't buy any special passes or tried the food, we just came to play some games and the kids had fun picking out prizes afterwards.

Burger was cold and not cooked all the way through on one side. Mini golf course needs some help, parts of it are ripped up and the water doesn't seem safe to touch - which is only worrisome since 2 holes have the chance of your ball touching it, I miss the indoor one Freedom Station had before they constructed the outdoor one.

Honestly, I absolutely WOULDNT recommend this place for ANY parties larger than 4-5 people. My sister had scheduled a larger party over the phone. She had stated she initially had issues. That it was (NOT EASY TO BOOK OVER THE PHONE) she was told she would get a call back to talk about the details. She did not receive a call. She had to call back. She had to do a party a day later than she had wanted. Our party shows up. You have to go upstairs in this TINY room. We could barely walk by each other. You can

The people that work there are wonderful. The food was good. If I would take my Grandson again, I would pay by the hour. It would be less costly.

Jordan was great at the snack bar. My grandsons had a great time. Better than Chuckie Cheese in Phoenix!

Bought a Groupon for my daughters birthday and was unable to use half of the Groupon. All attractions are either closed or gone completely. False advertising. Super disappointed the GM never called me back this week. I will continue to post this is poor managed and false advertising. Groupon needs to stop promoting this. Updated review: GM called me and heard my complaints. Taylor is nice, he sent 3 cards to make up for the visit. We will give In the game another shot. Solely based on management takin

I strummed through my local coupon book and came across an add for a Monday Special, normally $9 burger, for $5 at ?In the game Prescott Valley?. I could tell by the add that they offered video games and miniature golf. But I assumed they may have a restaurant area. I was wrong. But since I was already there. I ordered their $5 Signature Burger. The noise level was a little high because of all the kids. So I sat outside. Once I saw the size of my burger and fries. I was really impressed. I was even more imp

Had to wait a long time to get waited on. Not enough employees.

Took my young son and wife here since the remodel and it is fantastic. It is a little pricey but for what they've done with it it's worth it to support them. My son absolutely loved the slide maze and my wife and I had a great time playing games together. Overall they have done a really great job on the place and it's a lot of fun. We already have good memories here and we can't wait to make more.

Honestly was very impressed of the change in technology with the money cards, that you get to keep and add more to it. Great atmosphere, staff, food, experience over all. Not too busy, but I'm sure it is on a weekend. We went on a Tuesday. Alot of fun games. We took our 4 yr old grandson. Of course he loved it, had a blast and we did too.

Fun for the kids, nice atmosphere, clean bathrooms and spaced tables for distancing. Unfortunately, the price per game is steep. I purchased the $20 refill card with 80 credits thinking that would be at least an hour's worth of fun for my 11 y.o., but the credits were used within 20 minutes... We did not purchase separate armbands for other activities such as soft play, laser tag, etc. so I'm not sure if this would be a better value for my money.

Kids had fun here all week but the tickets my son was winning were not loading properly so all the jackpots and other wins he had during the week did not calculate. What a waste, he came back the final day thinking he had close to 6,000 tickets but only had 600 tickets. Disappointed son to say the least, they only gave him 500 tickets for the jackpot he took a picture of to send me.

Very cool experience here. Lots of fun for everyone in the family, specifically kid friendly. Insane arcade opportunities with mini-golf and bowling. Relatively expensive for more than 2 people, but their packages are worth it for parties and adult events. Happy to have a place like this in the small town!

Good little family fun place. Much bigger inside then it looks. Went in to have some inside fun outa the rain. Their pizza is good, but Very greasy! They are a little pricey, didn't like that all the games were worth different points to play, but most of the arcade games give out a good amount of tickets. $5 extra for the kids to play on the indoor playground. Think they should really offer some kind of package deal to save the parents money. But other then that the whole family had a blast and we will defi

What an awesome place, I can't believe I haven't been here yet. This is the place for kids! Definitely going to look into throwing our daughters next birthday here. They used every inch of this place to the max! The have bowling, laser tag, mini golf, a small carnival ride, a jungle gym maze and tons and tons of games for kids to play! We came for the princess and prince party they threw, well done!

This arcade is great. I took my son here every Wednesday when I lived in Prescott and he had so much fun playing the games. The prizes are awesome and the environment is great. I've since moved but we were in town this week and went to play some games. We let my 9 month old daughter hit the button for one game and she won the 1000 ticket jackpot which made an epic memory. We used the tickets to buy her a pink cat plush that she loves. I definitely recommend coming here and wish we lived closer to come more

Ax throwing, mini golfing and bowling makes this a great place for families, dating couples, and groups. Had a blast with my son! Staff could be more helpful but they probably just needed more training as they were young. They were still very friendly though.

Great fun. Very challenging mini-golf course!

This place is fantastic! I can't wait to play the mini golf when it warms up! We had so much fun on our date night here, even being in our mid thirties. The beer was cold and delicious and the BBQ chicken pizza (with jalapenos added) was amazing and affordable. We will definitely be returning!

We brought our son here for his birthday. We played in the arcade, played miniature golf, and ax throwing. He loved it. The staff are pleasant. The ponds in the golf area are green with a ton of algae...should be cleaned and replaced with clean water. But this is my only negative.

This place gets worse every time we come. Huge rip off. Everything overpriced. 15 open tables to sit at none of them clean. 10 people working in the kitchen can't seem to get a single french fry order out in less than 40 minutes when this place is empty. All while the manager just sits on the computer oblivious to it all. Let's not forget the 3000 tickets that were stolen from my 5 year old daughter by the employees last time

I really wanted to enjoy this place with my children. I took my autistic 7 year old son on Sunday February 26th. When we visited, we played games and spent over $300 dollars on games to win enough tickets to get my son a good selection of prize options, when we went to redeem our tickets, the staff member at the prize counter refused to give us our tickets won. The girl at the front refused to give my son his tickets redemption and when she did give him his tickets she gave him 1/3 of them.we did not give

I've always loved this place and have been coming here for so many years. My son always has a blast and that makes me happy. Good selection of games. The only think that bugs me is that I can't order a spicy chicken salad over the phone to pick up when I'm not in the mood to play games. They make me come in to order and wait 20 minutes. Please change this. I crave these yummy salads all the time. You should work with the customers and allow phone orders. Got rid of my favorite salad altogether. Yay! Not!!!

Our family bought two family season passes so it was for eight kids who get 2 attractions one hour of free video games and unlimited maze and golf. The only attraction available is the bowling and two of the lanes are broken. The one hour of play is not on all games just very few video games, we are extremely disappointed. In the fact that nobody told us they didn't have laser tag or Frogger. We feel we should be compensated for the lack of games and that nobody told us when we purchased them and spent almo

Probably the cleanest and best staff arcade I have ever taken my kids to. My son and daughter really enjoy arcades and our experience at The Freedom Station was awesome. They are so friendly and everything is kept up perfectly. I 100% recommend it and I know for sure we will be back.

Great place. Kiddo loved it.

Wow we had a blast. My daughter just had an end of year softball event here. The staff was great and the management had great customer service. We frequent this location as theres not much else to do around here. Family friendly, good food and good rime I highly recommend them for a stop.

Had a chilly day while in Prescott, so took all the kids to play. We had so much fun. Ages of our crew was 3 to 11 and there was something for everyone. Laser tag wasn't available for our visit but we enjoyed putt-putt and mini bowling. Staff was friendly and food was satisfying. Thank you!

Loss of one star as there were five staff appearing to be standing behind the counter with a delay in acknowledgement. I don't know as Customer whether the kids were off or taking a break but a little customer service can go a long way. Always fun for the kids though.

This used to be a great place to go especially for a kids party. They took the access away for kids to go from the party rooms to the kids maze and raised the age to 4 through 12. I understand seeing an age limit for the older kids but not the younger ones. There isn't much for 2 to 5 year olds to do there and they just took that away unless an adult goes with them. That's a tight area for adults. They moved the prize area to the back taking away several games that maybe the younger kids could enjoy so

Love this place. The assistant manager girl was so helpful even when she was understaffed she was running all over getting everything done. I miss some of the older games and the coin use. They have cards now. I guess that is just the old arcade in me. Plus it was always fun finding coins someone had dropped on the floor. But now I can keep my tickets saved on the card which is a plus. We did miniature golf. And it looks like they are redoing the fake turf which is great. It's sad though. Looks like some ki

This was originally the go to place for fun, but over the years all the attractions began to focus on just kids under 10. I would be great if they had and modern bowling alley like main event, or even indoor later tag. Plus the mini golf hasn't changed at all In the last 8 or so years. I'm one of the people that got to experience castle golf, and that was way better then this. Freedom station has so much potential but reaches so short.

It's was a fun family center. It has bowling ,video games and golf. It was super cool

The prices were definitely different from what was advertised on the website. More then 8 games were not working. Definitely not the worth the price for me, the girls didn't have a very good time as they spent 50 dollars in less then 20 mins and the most tickets won was 105. Would maybe go back to try the Lazer tag and other featers but definitely need to do some improvements

Food is very much overpriced and underwhelming.$8 per kid for tunnels???!! I can see that maybe for kids that contribute to wear and tear, but my kids are at the age that otger places allow them to do stuff for free aka toddlers. That adds insult to injury when dropping about $50 or more a visit. There really isn't peace of mind for kids running around, like you would have at Chuck E. Cheese since they do a bracelet system. There are multiple exits that aren't monitored by staff so if you have your back tur

Spent a few hours here for a small company party, with the kids and grandkids. The staff were all very nice. It looks as if they are still transitioning from Freedom Station. The wings and salad were good, and we loved the Mango Cart beer. They had others, Michelob Ultra and Kiltlifter, I believe. Mini bowling was different and fun. Many people goofy golfed and went to the outdoor, inflatable Laser Tag, but it was pretty hot, so we passed. Other than that, they are off to a decent start!

My family and I have been going to this place for years when it was freedom station. We were looking forward to going to this place since they updated, changed the menu and everything. So I was super disappointed when the food was terrible. We ordered the nachos and I don't even know what I got. It look nothing like the picture. If I ordered $12 nachos I don't expect them to crumble up a hamburger patty on top of it. Gross and super greasy. I also ordered the kids chicken strips and I thought they forgot to

The staff was exceptional. Everyone went out of their way from the time we walked through the door until we left. Our 2 and a half year old loved every minute of it. She made it through about 9 holes of mini golf.

Freedom Station is a lot of fun for the kids and it's great to have a fun place to go to! There really is something to do for all ages. I just wish it was a bit more affordable and the pricing and promotions weren't so difficult to decipher. I feel like we would go more if it was a bit more affordable.

So fun. Although since the "upgrade," you better show up with some big bucks, as there are no cheap games to play...that are any fun anyway. Most arcades give a good break the more you spend...not so much here. I would give them 5 stars if they just simply put a few actual video games to keep us adults occupied while our kids blast thru $20 in 30 minutes and only get 100 tickets...

Staff is extremely rude especially maintenance. Game was taking our credits but not letting the kids play. Asked to have it look at and was rudely told it works fine and called a liar. If it is wasn't in front of my kids I would of handled this in a completely different way.

We had a super fun time and the staff was very nice and attentive to my son. It's one of his favorite places.

The place is good to have fun. But the food TAKES FOREVER TO COME OUT. Seems like the recipes are never the same. Every time I order wings they always come raw, if you are hungry be prepared to wait at least 1 to 2 hours to get your food plus It might not be the same as it shows in their menu. The staff is friendly but again food is ??.

After visiting Peter Piper a week before coming here, I realized how expensive this place is. The games at Peter piper cost between 1-5 credits to play, whereas all the games here cost between 6-12 credits to play. A 20 dollar play card, which gets you 80 or 90 credits, lasted my kid all of 10 minutes. Now when this place was ?Freedom station? it didn't cost money to utilize the play maze, which consists of a staircase and 2 slides. Now it costs 8 dollars or 32 credits to utilize this. I will say there is a

Actually not that bad. Prices we're reasonable. The Manager today was very helpful. Had a slight problem with one of the games and she quickly made everything right. Next time we're in town we will definitely stop by for a game of minigolf

Overpriced for what you get for a birthday party, but a lot of fun in a town with limited indoor play options. Some of the new attractions are underwhelming but the mini bowling and the mini golf is fun.

This is a great place. But people this is not Chuck e cheese there is no security so PLEASE watch your kids. Had a little girl hanging out with me no parents came over to check on her. Thank God I am a good person watch the ID Chanel people!

Nasty, Rude, Drunk, and so overpriced those where just the customers!!!!$ 35.00 for a preformed frozen hamburger and hot dog with fries. Really, family-friendly and far from it!! ! A manager on duty was a teenager. Give me a break he didn't even know how to void the register! Save your money and go to Jens cafe down the street for lunch with the family. Way better food and atmosphere!!

We didnt partake in the arcade but the selection looked fairly nice. Mini golf and mini bowling were really fun. Staff was nice and friendly. Great for the kids!

Just had my sons birthday party there. Employees were very helpful. All the kids had a great time. Lots of fun for all ages. Very pleased with my time there.

A little pricey for the games. Also kind of smelly. You have to purchase a card to use on the arcade games, it will run you about 5 dollars. Certain members of the staff are exceptional and helpful while others are not impressive and are kind of rude. Roll of the dice to see who you get. The food is reasonable and not all together bad given the venue.

So this is a nice arcade. To earn another star, they need to to have everything working. Several machines were out of order, a couple of them were charged our cards and didn't work. Still, there were more than enough games, including a mix of updated classics and new stuff. Skip the food and eat at one of the nearby restaurants.

Six year old loves the giant climbing structure ($4.50 for bracelet) and the new, lower air hockey table. Climbing wall, mini golf, etc are extra $. Lots of games for coins that receive tickets for prizes. Bring ear plugs; even with high ceilings, it's a little loud. Food is OK for what it is. You can walk in and out tho. We prefer going during the week days as it's less crowded.

Mmmph...Kind of a rip off. Brought the kids to play arcade games. They only sell tickets for the games, not unlimited passes. After 20 minutes (and $60) the kids were done. (and of course they wanted more tickets) hmmmmph ??

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?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
