This was a reunion trip for my son who was meeting up with a friend who came down from Texas. Some games & food.
The atmosphere was nice, families all getting together having fun, there are sighs about sanitation but I personally didn’t see anyone cleaning in the 4-5hrs we were there. I had a few drinks from the bar they were spot on, there are cup holders on the side of some machines, I was stuck on Pac-Man for most of my trip and it needs to be replaced the joystick 🕹️ is off 😩. Bathrooms were clean but very small lol I was struggling a bit You can’t make a full turn ez. We had dinner at the restaurant, it’s not like a typical restaurant we can sit wherever we like, take menus off the counter where we see a staff member then when you are ready go up to that same counter and order & pay. The kids ordered wings they do not come with fries, they all complained they were too salty, when my son didn’t finish his I KNEW this was accurate. He can finish wingstop 20piece ez. Our food was good we had chicken sandwiches shared fries with the kids. 5 people about $88.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Oh and we dipped out for a walk and left them there but we searched top @ bottom and couldn’t find them an no one was answering there phones so we asked if they could make an announcement 📣
Come to find out there were in the online gaming section where they use headphones!! Sooooo good to know and we didn’t check bc they don’t play any so we thought 💭!! Hope this was helpful & your family has a great time!!
Our group had a wonderful time at Game works. They have a great variety of games and drinks at the bar.
It’s the best arcade I ever seen in a long while.
Great machines with plenty to choose from. Everyone will have something that they’ll find enjoyable.
Just stay away from the music games unless you are really into far east music :)
Awesome party venue! We hosted our child’s birthday at GameWorks and everything was easy and low stress. We showed up and the staff at GameWorks took care of everything else. The food was excellent and the service exemplary. My son said it was the best party EVER, and all of the guests loved the experience.
Full disclosure, didn't play any games but walked around to check it out. There are a lot of really cool games and lots of different styles of gaming. They have something for everyone. There's a bar and restaurant too. The prizes are pretty nice and tickets don't cost too much. $25 for 140. One of the games we were interested in was 25 tickets so $25 will get you a few games which seems decent.
We live very close but haven't gone there very often... THAT WILL CHANGE!!!! We had so muchfun, and the food was delicious 😋 the gamesare off the chart... IF YOU LIKE IT, THEY HAVE IT!!!!
Glad this place is back open again, lot of history in this place than folks realize, worth looking up Seattle gameworks history.
Love how they kept the old arcade machines and decorations intact. Lot of games to choose from as nay arcade, but the best part is that it's in the middle of Seattle downtown area which is pretty convenient for most people living within proximity of downtown.
Prices are pretty expensive as per any arcade, but you get a lot of fun out of it. Something to do with mates or a date night.
They reopened and the place look very nice! I really like how clean everything looks and all of the great games they have! This is a great place to spend time with family and friends if you are downtown
This is my favorite arcade in the city, I was so sad when it closed but now with the new ownership it’s better than ever!!!! The history behind this establishment is what’s making me come back! It makes me nostalgic for the 90s even though I’ve never experienced them! I love the aesthetic like the Sega Games Mural when you walk in and the Sega race car.
My only thing criticism is that some of the older games are throwing their age (which isn’t the arcades fault) and I’d love to see some Japanese games like the ones at round one, especially Super Dragonball heroes.
I hope this place stays here for a long, long time!
It's the equivalent to Round 1 in California, but the prices and games were good. For 25$ the game credit I got lasted me like an hr or so. I think they need some new games alot of their old ones the controls suck. Food I didn't bother, the beer prices are fair.
Definitely a fun place! We usually come here before or after a movie and we always have a great time. There are plenty of games and activities. Great for date night or a family outing. The only thing to mention is not to expect much from your ticket accumulation. You’ll spend quite a few dollars and your tickets typically won’t by much so set your expectations on what your tickets will buy. Highly recommended!
This was a fun place to spend some time with our kids after walking around Seattle. We opted for 4, $25 cards to play on (these were taxed, which I didn't love) but the cards last a long time. There are drinks and food upstairs and places to rest your feet after a day of walking.
It has a wonderful selection of games available, including a few PC games in the esports area, and even a few vr games. Each game feels like it has enough space for the player to comfortably stand while playing.
However I'm not fond of the credits system they have in place. The complete disconnect between real money and their credits feels like it's intentionally confusing, to avoid letting people know how much they're spending. Would prefer if the credits were equal to like 10x the money spent on them. Like 20=200, or something.
We took our 3 year old son here today. He loves arcades and his excitement radiated throughout the arcade. He is obsessed with Mario and enthusiastically ran through the arcade from game to game when a gentleman came up (who I can only assume to be an owner or manager) saying he wanted to be sure our son had enough tickets to get the toy he wanted. (Which of course was Mario). We anticipated getting a small stuffed toy, but the gentleman ensured we had Mario before leaving! Our son has been gushing ever since! Cannot speak for the food or drinks, but super sweet staff who absolutely made my sons day! Will definitely be back!
Same as it ever was! Good way to kill some time. Modest selection of arcade games, lots of interactive and ticket games. Very good variety. Restaurant and billiards upstairs, bar. I had a smash burger, fries and a beer. The burger was delicious. The fries were decent. The beer was cold. Accommodating and not terribly expensive for Seattle. I like this place. 5 (five) starts I mean stars.
Glad to have gameworks back. Fun to walk around with my younger kids. Only games that catch my attention after PAX anymore is DDR with every one that grew up in the 90s wanting to discover how much they aren't good anymore.
I was sad to hear it shut down, and really happy to hear it reopened! I haven't been here for years, but I had a blast going last weekend. They have a ton of new and old games, nice lounge areas, and friendly staff. Everybody needs to get out and play more games to keep the arcades alive!
