Party Like a…Big Robot
Have your birthday at Big Robot! It’s the coolest place in the world to invite your friends! And the best part? WE CLEAN UP! Get your group in here and have a blast on our game machines! You and your party receive UNLIMITED GAMETIME on all of our equipment for the length of the party. You will also have access to a private party room and a Big Robot party coordinator. CLICK HERE to book your next party with us!
Here’s how it works:
1. Figure out the number of party participants (there is no charge for adult chaperones at children’s parties).
2. Multiply by the number of hours you want your party to last.
3. Multiply that by $4 per hour.
That’s the “Party Price”! For example, 5 kids times 2 hours time $4 is just $40 for a 2-hour party for 5!

Don’t forget – we have a Magic Eventide Booster Draft coming up on September 12 from 6 to 9. $15 to enter, first 8 paid players will participate in an unopened booster draft.
