Dave and Busters

Our junior league co-hosted a soft-opening of Dave and Buster's in our town. Dave and Buster's (as my good friend Laura describes it as) is an adult Chuck E. Cheese. No kidding! They have come out with some really cool interactive games! Some you put a helmet on, some you are dancing on and so much more than I ever had as a kid! With our $25 admission, we were given a $20 playing card. They are pretty tricky about how they make you pay for games. You start out with 100 points. Games can range in price from 6.2 points/game to 25.6 points/game. Really? Do you really need to have tenths of a point? I think that is a rip-off and scam to get you to either buy more points OR not get to use all of your points. Whatever.

Mary, Jamie and I found the game that would yield the highest number of coupons/point played. It was basically a spin game and you hit the button to get it to stop on 20/40/60/80 or 500 tickets. This was the only game we played. We pretty much monopolized the game for 30 minutes while we yelled, screamed and cheered each other on. We each broke the game once and almost depleted the machine's supply of tickets. I think collectively we banked over 2500 tickets. Pretty impressive for first-timers!
