Board Game Library

From quick and simple all the way to thought provoking strategy, our game library has something for everyone! Sample a huge variety of board and card games from dozens of different publishers and make some new friends.

The board games are free to rent - we just require a photo ID as collateral while you play. When you’re finished, bring the game back, we’ll trade you your ID, and you’ll be on your merry way! If you have any questions, please don’t be afraid to ask us.

Board Game Demos

We love teaching new games to people! We’ll be running demos of popular games all weekend long and we’re happy to take requests if there is something specific you’d like to learn that isn’t on our schedule.

Check our whiteboard in the gaming section for demo times! Miss out on a demo or don’t see something on the board that interests you? Ask the staff to teach you a different game!

Escape Rooms in a Box

Want to challenge yourself and a group of friends? We have the entire collection of Unlock! games available in our library this year! These escape rooms in a box require a free app that you can download on your phone or tablet to play and are a great way to pass an hour with some family or friends.

Hado - Nebula Amusements

Ever wonder what it would be like to go toe-to-toe in some anime-style dodgeball? Try out Hado! Nebula Amusements brings this revolutionary augmented reality esports attraction to our event this year where you can face off in 3v3 matches by shooting orbs of glowing energy from your hand.

Feel like you’re right in the middle of a dramatic battle in a Dragon Ball Z episode in this Ready Player One style experience that you’ve been waiting for. Curious about the game? Check out Nebula Amusements’ website here to learn more.
