    Round1 arcade has to be one of the best arcades around here, although arcades are expensive these days to play in this place you can win some good prizes and come out of this place happy. With other arcades in the area with the money, you spend on games trying to win prizes you'll end up coming out with just a small bag of candy and maybe a small plushy but not worth it for the amount of money your spending at these other arcades in the area. this place round1 you'll come out with plushy's candy or whatever it is you're guarantee winners. A little these are video games claw machine's and yes you will lose, but you're guaranteed to win some good prizes. They have tons of claw machines with teddy bears plushy's figurines. Did you have some arcade games basketball games, bowling dancing machines they have it all. They have food and drinks they have one dollar ice cream cone or a cup and the brand is bluebell. It's just pretty cool. You can't get a dollar ice cream nowhere, you can just walk in to get ice cream and sit down if you like and not play no games. and they do have specials on their game cards go to customer service usually I get the $55 which gives you 300 credit and you get a free plastic cup souvenir. Usually when I spend 55 i end up coming out with 6 to 7 small & big prizes. This is the only round one around Houston. I've been to this arcade before, but in Dallas, so it's good to see them popping up in the area of Houston. You'll leave happy I do and my kids do.

    Summary: I believe Round 1 just opened about a week ago. This is the first location in Houston--well, technically very north Houston, in Humble. It may look small from the outside, but it's surprisingly spacious inside Deerbrook Mall. Navigation might be a bit off, so just a heads-up. We drove nearly an hour from South Houston to check it out. Note this location is arcade-only, meaning no bowling, pool, or other activities--just games. We mainly came for the claw machines, which use a card system instead of coins, so you just swipe to play. Membership & Pricing: There is a $2 activation fee for a new card, along with an optional $5 annual membership fee, which provides more bonus points for gameplay. Since this place is on the expensive side, with games averaging around $3 per play, we chose the highest package for the best value. The pricing is $1 = 4 credits, and most claw machines cost about 12 credits per play. With so many different types of claw machines, we had a great time trying them all. In total, we spent about 2 hours and $300 for the 4 of us. Prize Quality The plushies here are top-notch quality--super soft and fluffy. If you manage to win one, the value is easily $20+, making it well worth it for plushie lovers, collectors, or anyone who enjoys the thrill of claw machines and the excitement of winning. I'd love to see a location closer to South Houston! I heard they might be opening another one near Willowbrook Mall. TL;DR: If it weren't for the pricing, this would be a 5/5 experience. You'll need to spend A LOT of money, but it's definitely fun, especially with friends or a significant other. We came mainly for the claw machines, but there are plenty of arcade games, including lots of DDR machines.

    Lots of plushies

    Well, returned yesterday and was playing when the machine malfunctioned and needed to be reset. The employee was great. The manager was a jerk and scammed me of my winnings. Will not be returning to this location.

    Ice cream scoops 1.00 They have several flavors to choose from and even a ramen bar. Great place for family to just relax while in the mall shopping. They are open until 2am daily. Staff was friendly and the seating area is clean as well.

    There's a new kid in town and he'd like for you to bring your game on. Bring your friends, bring…read more your geek date or just bring your pinball/video arcade craving self, there is something for everybody here. If you are familiar with the name, then yes, this is a test pilot of things to come for future models like this and counterpart to the one located in the Cypress area. Syd told me that this is just a testing mule to see if this concept works for future Sword and Superheroes locations. To put into perspective to where this is, reset your odometer and give it 5 miles from Deerbrook Mall, 10 miles from Beltway 8/ 59 North and a million miles from a care in the world once you've immersed yourself in here. Once you land on North Park Drive you should drive down about two miles heading East until you see a Napa Auto Parts, it's directly across the street from that. Parking is tiny, there are about 6 spaces in the front, but additional spaces on the left side. Once inside you will probably run into Syd who is running the business and will go great measures to make sure you are accommodated and your questions answered. Do you like Pinball? There are three machines right in the lobby as you enter and one video pinball with 150 games programmed into it, to the left there you will see about 8 cabinets of multi arcade games which should satisfy all of your childhood memories and keep you busy while not worrying about any quarters to lose. What is the price you ask? As of today the price is $4 per half an hour of all you can plan (Arcade and Pinball), $6 per hour and the best value if you plan to stay awhile $15 from open to cerrado. As you walk to the back of the business to the left you'll see a room full of cards, game figurines and such aka hobby games. To the right is a kitchen looking area with lots of board games, tables to eat on, a freezer with Ice Cream sundries and other snacks. A little door on the right is the mini restroom. Back out into the hallway and continue towards the back and further to the left is the LAN area, do you even LAN Bro? It's obvious what it is when you pass and see about 10 monitors with miles of wires connecting each other. Back on out of there and open the last door to the back and you've entered the Laser Tag arena with four tables to the sides for tabletop RPG games. This is where the fun begins if you have two or more people with you, yes I said two minimum, not four like other places. If you are on a date you can test his/her physical abilities a little with a little friendly game of duck and shoot. Have fun kids, this is for you! Prices advertised are.... ============== $8 for 1 game (approx 5 to 10 minutes) $15 for 3 games (approx 30 minutes) $20 for 6 games (approx 60 minutes) Per person. Basic rules: 1) No running (unless being chased by a naked dude that has had his share of bath salts 2) Both hands on gun (No running around pistol style while scratching your sweaty buttocks) 3) Do not touch the barricades (And do not touch yourself) 4) Keep a 3' distance from other players (No kissing) 5) No flatuating (odors linger, it's very dangerous for the person behind you and you would not want other people to know how disgusting you are) One more area I almost missed is upstairs. You can't miss that and that is where there are more of those table top figurine gaming areas (RPG). I've never played those before but if you look at some of the pictures I posted you can pretty much tell what it is. Having a birthday party for your kids? They have a package that includes 10 people for $250, give them a call for reservations and details. There specials all week long are on Tuesdays the games are $5, Wednesdays are Ladies night, they play free with a partner they bring in (Syd, that's sexist and not fair!) Xfinity customers! yea you, if you have an account then the wifi here is very strong. Me likey! Any questions? You may reach them at 936 650 7900 (What kind of number is THAT?) You're not going to find everything in the game/fun world here, but I can guarantee you that if you are any kind of "gamer" then there should at least be one thing here that can touch your inner childhood sitting there with your friends on weekends wasting time like you had no care in the world. At 9 or 10 pm at weeknights it's time to go back to reality as the place closes, Friday and Saturdays will yield you more time of around 1:00 a.m.

    Very cozy. The owner Syd and employees are very welcoming and willing to take time to sit and do…read moredemo games. Great place to go if you want to try games. They have thousands of games lining the walls and are willing to open to demo if there's multiple copies. There are tables for all the standard wargames, 40k, warmachine, xwing, etc. The selection of reaper miniatures is one of the largest I've seen, so great if you just want to pick up something to paint. There's a small computer gaming room, but I don't think it's used much. Best of all, there's a used minis bin, which is great if you just love painting minis like me, or just want to find some cheap buyins. (There are some complete armies for sale.) Only cons are it's cluttery if that bothers you, due to the walls being lined with board games, and the fact it opens at 4 on weekdays. I understand that there's much less business, but sometimes I want to pop in a little earlier. Minor inconvenience is all.

    Off on a day in Uber while I was online and I was bored, I was just around near the area to get…read moresomething to do, and this place was recommended to me via Yelp considering what my interests are. Hey, not bad for a 10 series card graphics computer set. Though would be nice as well and I wish, if you have the space and area to dedicate to have some people bring their own setups and stuff. ::Pros:: + Nice, cozy gaming environment + Computers are solid, and the fact that you have old-school arcade stuff is a bonus + Rates are comfy with bonus times on 7 dollars on an hour charge, and the further you seem to get to it, the more discounted it gets. ::Cons:: - Nothing much really, but just watch out and inform the guy in front if your computer crashes (it's a ggleap thing). He'll happily help you oit.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own. I decided to switch to Among Us about half way in and the chat was LOUD. I used the sound key on the keyboard but it barely changed a thing, there was no volume control on the headset so I took it off. After 2.5 rounds my time was up so I just waited for my child to finish. As we were leaving a noticed the once 25% full place was about at 75% so it can fill up quickly and we went on a Sunday afternoon. Would I go back, maybe but bring a jacket, it was freezing.
