Activate Games — Local services in Austin

This was, without exaggeration, one of the most disgraceful experiences I’ve ever had at an arcade, and it completely tarnished what should have been a fun celebration for my friend’s birthday. While we patiently waited in line for a game, we observed a group of kids monopolizing the machine, repeatedly cycling through turns without allowing others a chance to play. Rather than addressing this blatant lack of fairness, an employee shockingly chose to berate and threaten us with removal simply for waiting our turn. The treatment was not only unwarranted but also deeply humiliating, leaving us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. Arcades are supposed to foster enjoyment and inclusivity, but this establishment clearly prioritizes neither.

We may have played some games for a mere 30 seconds before getting kicked out of the room to retrieve our time remaining to see that 3-5 minutes were deducted at a time. To make matters worse, on our last game, an employee rudely walked in with another guest looking for something during our last few seconds of play. It killed our time with no apologies from the staff for completely disrupting our last opportunity to play. Way too expensive for what you get as more time is lost in the hallway than playing. Your money will be better spent at a VR spot or an...
