Our games
We have a vast selection of games available for our guests!!!
Some original, but the most of them custom made with our own little twist to make it interesting.

 

Below is a few of them with some instructions on how to play them:

3D Chess / Checkers

Challenge yourself to a fun 3D chess game to find out who the true Chess Master is.  The 3D board adds to the challenge and may get a player to catch his opponent off-guard and go in for the win.

 

A tip to add variety:  The 4 quarters of the board can rotate, so you can change the landscape of the board to add to the challenge.

A pool table is a battleground where geometry, strategy, and a touch of swagger collide. Picture yourself as a cue-wielding mastermind, sending colorful spheres on a journey of collisions, spins, and dramatic pocket landings.

 

How to play:

  • Rack the balls in a neat triangle.
  • Smash them apart with the cue ball (called the break).
  • Take turns aiming and striking—solid or striped balls must go into pockets.
  • Avoid sinking the cue ball (total embarrassment).
  • Pocket the black 8-ball last to claim sweet, sweet victory!
  • Grab a cue, and let the battle begin! 

 

 

 

Fooseball Table

Foosball is a high-speed battle where tiny plastic athletes depend entirely on your wrist finesse. Think of it as soccer, but with zero running—just furious spinning and dramatic goal celebrations.

How to play:

  • Take turns placing a block on the hanging disk.
  • Be precise—uneven weight will make it wobble dangerously.

  • Last person to place a block successfully without toppling wins!
  • Test your finesse, defy physics, and embrace the chaos!

 

 

Marble Solitaire

  • Can you outwit the board and achieve marble solitaire glory?

 

 

 

Shootout

How to play:

  • Place pucks evenly on your side of the board.

Giant Domino's

How to play:

  • Two players would start with 7 dominoes, three players with 5 tiles, four players with 4 tiles and five players with 3 tiles
  • The rest is placed upside down for the draw pile.
  • Take turns matching tiles to the open ends of the chain.
  • If you can’t play, draw until you find a match!
  • First to play all their tiles or have the fewest left when blocked wins.
  • Prepare for high-stakes tile-dropping and maybe an accidental human-sized domino fall!
