First time going to a Round 1 and man, was it a lot of fun. They had so, so many options for games so there's definitely something for everyone. Claw machines, classic light gun games, racing games, rhythm games from Japan, and so much more. It's easy to spend a chunk of change here though, so make sure you're ready to drop an easy $100 or so if you're with more than one person.
Loved it here! Came here here New Years Day to pass the time. My daughters and I had a blast! They had a ton of arcade games, old and new and imports form Japan. They have 4 bowling lanes and billards too. It's a place to hang out and have fun. The bar has plenty drinks. We played arcade games for 2 or 3 hours for about $100 total. They loved the VR King Kong game which had them wear goggles and fight off different creatures with King Kong. It was very funny seeing them wave randomly and scream. Some games gave our digital tickets. We were able to acrue 1600 tickets for the prize store and got some candy and miscellaneous accessories. I highly recommend this place for a fun family outing or a nice date.
We visited this place one evening when it was relatively slow. The service was excellent. The guy behind the counter was so great and very informative. We enjoyed it so much, that we just made a special trip from home 5 hour drive to bring our kids! So… we get here and walked up to the same counter. I got halfway through my sentence saying I’d like their most expensive ticket/card package and the girl grabbed a sign and dropped it in front of me. It said to use the kiosk for tickets. The last time we were there, we got a couple “free play” bonus cards and keychain by not using the kiosk. A little put off… we went to the kiosk. We started bringing the kids around and found multiple times that we slid our card and lost our credits only for the game to display some time of error. There is one game that shoots water guns, but the entire time no water came out and we had to pretend. Big red letters across the screen saying “water level low”. One of the biggest attractions, the VR game, had errors flashing all over it and couldn’t be played. We went to the food area and they had the menu screens for the food turned off and clearly weren’t interested in doing much serving. What an awful experience the second time around. Very unfortunate after driving 5 hours one way just to bring the kids here.
The bowling is great no complaints there. I got a game card because the arcade was huge lots of games. Spend $44 on a card and ended up walking around just trying to find a decent game to play. Had a hard time spending it all. It was very clean and the staff did a good job at most things. The food/drink section was extremely slow but overall I would go back for blowing or take little kids to the arcade.
Since they closed the Round 1 in Massachusetts this is the closest one to Boston. The place is well maintained and has some awesome arcade machines including a brand new DDR machine.
So overall interactions with employees have been nice there are some games I can't play due to being in a wheelchair. It's a very loud area the accessible washroom was accessible. Although you must ask by the front desk to get it open, but I understand why you must ask. Know I didn't go bowling or check the food so I don't even know of I could have even bowled because it might have been up stairs but im not sure. Overall good
Bowling here was pretty good. The prices are a little high, especially with the lack of employees there. When we needed help it took a little while to get someone. Along with that they don’t deliver good anymore because they have no one working. Otherwise a fun time. It is very loud though with the arcade!
It's so crowded with games, and way too many things going on at once. It uses a card system to play games. I found it really hard to know what you have on your card. With token, you see what you have . You don't get tickets, you'll accumulate them on your card. I still don't know how to find out what's on it. My granddaughter is 10 and was just overwhelmed by all the choices. She has Autism like many children. They love to play, too, but there is no real area for kids that may need a little less adult games and more that's geared towards less complicated games. Things that allow them to have some control. The one game they had was hitting the animals on the head. It was full of lights and enabled her to have some control and true understanding of what she needed to do. They need games for kids 3-10 so they can enjoy themselves, shooting water games. Slower dance light games. Easy-to-use bowling type games that don't require lots of strength to play. I think it's an ok place, but It is definitely geared toward teens and adults! There is lots of space, use some for younger kids to have fun too!!
This is an extremely fun place to go. They have bowling, pool tables, two karaoke rooms, arcade games, tables to sit at with TV's to watch sports, a little bar area to sit at as well, and a food area with limited items card no cash or at least that's how it was when I was there, they had a scoop of ice cream which is excellent for 99 cents. There's a separate entrance from outside the mall by the food court and one at the mall inside as well. An extremely fun place to bring your kiddos. The wait can be a bit long sometimes due to staffing shortages as there are everywhere. Bathroom and water fountain available as well. You purchase a card and put money on it to play arcade games. For food items I had to pay by card but for at front desk for all other activities I could pay cash. Highly recommend this place. Prices are higher after 4 for certain things, Stays open late.
For maine this round 1 is an awesome addition to the state and a great place to kill some time! Have a few beers or some wine a bit to eat more of a food court style thing and not a real restaurant that being said if you've ever been to any other round 1 you might be disappointed this location has a few pool tables some lanes for bowling and a medium size arcade floor so if you are going here just don't have your hopes up that they have everyone on the sign out front for activities a bit of a false advertising situation.... but seriously all activities aside this is a great spot to grab a beer and some pizza in between running a few errands at the mall
