Customer Reviews

First time visiting and took my two boys. They had a blast and can't wait to go back. Both employees working Saturday were nice and helpful. The racing simulator was super cool and they have station you can play thousands of old school arcade games on. We will definitely be back.

We really appreciate Play HQ for fitting us in last minute for a birthday party. They have been so kind and accommodating. I strong suggest coming and checking it out. Staff was absolutely wonderful. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for us

It has been a wonderful place,and offers many things to do there. The prices are very reasonable for what your able to do in there. One of of the best things is that the staff is really kind and will always assist you if your having problems on any of the consoles there. They even have snacks and drinks you can buy while you're there. If I could put more stars i definitely would. 100/100

We had an amazing time! Everyone was super helpful and it was a blast! Highly recommend!!!

Best place to have a party for gamers. The staff were extremely helpful and nice. We will definitely be back! So glad to have something like this in our small town! Adults even played ?? give them a try, you WONT be disappointed!

Fantastic experience! There is truly something for everyone - even non-gamer moms can take a break in a massage chair while one kid shoots zombies and another perfects their Beat Saber skills. Staff was more than willing to help anytime it was needed?even if it was just gaming tips.

Had my son's birthday party here, they really had a good time. He said he'd like to go back on day soon.

Excellent staff and Help. Two young gentlemen got my three kiddos set up and rocking on the VR almost immediately with no wait time. All three kids had a great experience and I enjoyed watching them up on the monitor. 10 of 10

My son had a great time here during a birthday party. Staff was very friendly and helpful with getting us set up with VR. Lots of other games here too.

Fantastic new facility in Senatobia & there really is something for EVERYONE! They offer different types of ?passes? and a ton of different games, simulators and even lounge experiences. My personal favorites are the massage chairs in the cloud room, and the ?living? rooms. The owners, Cody and Yi, are very personable and really do make you feel right at home! They offer quite a variety of snacks and drinks too, and I've been told that there will be adult beverages coming soon! If you haven't stopped by yet

Play HQ is a really great spot for all ages and a great atmosphere. We have been twice this year and both times have been a great experience. Definitely a must try out spot.

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.”
