This place was silly, one-of-a-kind fun! Our kids are 13, 11, and 9 and they all had a blast. Our group of 5 was perfect because we could all play together (the games accept up to 6 players). There were 12 games- different spins on carnival/video games. We stayed the full 75 minutes, but took a 10 minute break in the middle to get soda and some popsicles (we went to other world for an hour first, so we were a little tired and overstimulated by then!) They have a little snack bar with popcorn and drinks. (Soda is $3, cocktails are $10-15.) We each had a different favorite game, and had enough time to do most things twice. We didn’t have to wait more than a few minutes for each game. It would have been helpful to know how much time we had left (the clock starts when you fill out your waiver) so just look at the time when you go in so you know when you’ll be done. I liked that there was a mix of competitive and cooperative games, and different styles so everyone could find something they liked and were good at. My son had already gone with some friends for a birthday party (10 year old boys) and they loved it. But it could be a fun date night (my husband and I did play a couple things on our own). I would maybe go back with a different group for a new experience, but once or twice is probably enough. So creative though- the space is over the top with themed touches. So glad we checked it out! And if you’re going to also visit other world while you’re there - you should!!- I would recommend doing that first so you can just take your time exploring that part before doing the timed portion of the games.

Came here for my nephew's birthday party and had an absolute blast. The NFC bracelets allow you to scan into the games, and you can stick with the randomized name you have or you can change it in the profile during setup, it was really fun to call each other by our code names. The games have a variety of different skills to leverage, and are generally fairly physical, but should be manageable for most folks. The drinks are also pretty great, we tried a Ring Toss, and I was pleasantly surprised with the flavor profile. The peach rings inside were a fun touch. They also had popcorn, hot dogs, pretzels, and other goodies. The staff was really friendly and they had jugglers and stilt walkers, also adding to the overall ambiance of the space. I loved it. The set work is incredible, and the ideas for the games were genuinely clever and the a/v aspect was on point. They should be really proud of what they accomplished here.

Gamegrounds was an absolute blast! The atmosphere was immersive, with creative, one of a kind games that felt like a mix of classic arcade fun and a futuristic carnival. Everything was interactive and engaging, making it easy to lose track of time while trying out different challenges. The 75-minute session was the perfect length to explore, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. One of the highlights for me was the Tetris dance pad game, where I managed to get the high score of the day and even won a prize! The competitive element made it even more exciting, and I loved that the games rewarded both skill and creativity. Whether you’re a casual gamer or just looking for something fun and unique to do in Columbus, I’d highly recommend checking it out. I’ll definitely be back!

Super fun time at game grounds, we’ve done otherworld before and it was amazing and this is great as well, got a couple high scores and were given prizes, staff was friendly, good variety of games but we do recommend going with a group of 3 to at most 6 since games do cap at 6 players. We came today so a week since opening so still fairly new and were told they’re working on a different way to do the point system to get more prizes over time and were given a chance to play another time as well for the feedback, great director there and fun themes loved it. Had juices, soda, and alcohol drinks, cotton candy, popcorn, and a few other snacks, strawberry lemonade popsicle was yummy

I went with a group of 4, ranging in age from 9-42, and we all had a blast. I wouldn’t expect any less from the makers of Otherworld; it is a fantastical carnival. There is a colorful ventriloquist game like Simon Says, basketball with 20 light up rims, giant Tetris, light up keepy-uppy, and 5 or 10 more games. Loved it. Will be back. Also, the perfect amount of people were there to not feel crowded. And it’s absolutely beautiful, did I mention that. Probably most suitable for kids above 7 or 8 though.
