    Came for the Hololive Collab, The Drinks were great. All of the Slop ticket redemption games are upfront, But all the rythem/Import games are in the back left, Awesome selection of UFO Catchers and other skill based claw games that arnt rigged, Was able to win several prizes first try. Area is quiet enough to be able to fully focus on any Rythem game played, People and employees are great and I will 100% be coming back! My one Peeve is that StepManiax Needs its panels cleaned, Horrobly uncalibrated makes it unplayable. but outside of that all the other games worked wonderfully, And they had a selection of rare rythem games! Super Suggesred for any Rythem gamers!

    My son brought us out here for a family outing. It reminds me of a scaled down, reasonably priced Dave & Busters. Food and drinks were pretty good. Plenty of games for everyone. My wife even found some games she enjoyed and that is no easy task! Service at the bar was good and they had a nice selection of adult beverages.

    I am visiting my hometown for the holidays and noticed Round1 at the mall. I guess it is new, but I have not been to Great Lakes Mall for over a year now! I am a sucker for a barcade and Round1 is very similar to a Dave and Buster's vibe. It is also a bowling place so this place is huge! We came here to celebrate a cousin's birthday since it is a family friendly place. When you walk in, you are instantly mesmerized by the colors of the different games and the noises. Unless you already have one of their game cards to add in credits, you have to purchase one or I think it takes off 8 credits. I honestly cannot remember. With drinks, food, and purchasing credits, which I believe it was $20 for 90 credits, we spent probably almost $100, but we were there for about 2 hours for 3 people plus spending money on others so honestly it was not a bad deal for a fun night. You can get bud light for $3.99 for a pint or $5.99 for a schooner. You can get most glasses of wine for $1.99, but we got moscato for $3.99. Is it the best wine or beer? No, but it's cheap so I cannot complain. The food prices are not too terrible either, but do not expect high quality food if you are coming here. They have SO many game choices for people of all ages. They have skee ball, to race car driving, to Mario, to Dance Dance revolution, to Halo. You think of it, the game is probably there. The prizes offered are actually decent. They have a lot of Japanese items, such as Rilakkuma, which is an expensive stuffed animal brand to buy in the first place. It takes a decent amount of games to get higher end prizes, but play your cards right and you will end up with something decent! I would most definitely come back. Of course I do not want to pay outrageous prices, but I did not spending a little money to have fun and spend time with friends and family.

    Fun until the general manager decided to blatantly rip us off. I took my 12 year old son to Round1 in Mentor, OH on 10/8/2022. One of the last games he played was Skee Ball. He scored 46,000 points after getting his last 3 balls in one of the 10,000 point holes. When we went to redeem the tickets for prizes, we were told there were only 895 tickets on his card. When I questioned this, I was told that the Skee Ball machine actually says "1,000 points", which is converted into fewer tickets. This sounded fishy, because we had spent $33 on various games and I was sure that we won at least 800 tickets just on the other games. But I let this go until my son reminded me of the video on my phone that I took of him "winning" his last Skee Ball game. I looked at the video, and sure enough it clearly shows everything, including my son rolling the last ball into the 10,000 point hole and the machine showing "1,000 tickets" and 46,000 points and as he's jumping up and down in excitement. I tried to explain this to the young man working the prize counter, but he wouldn't give in. Then I tried explaining it to a young woman who he brought over to look at the gameplay on the computer behind the prize desk. She also wouldn't budge. Finally, the general manager came by. He watched the video on my phone. He asked when this happened and I told him it was about 10 or 15 minutes prior. He asked for proof with a timestamp on the video, which I showed him. Even after all of this, he still refused to give my kid the 1,000 tickets that was rightfully won. I told the GM that this is a matter of principle - we have proof that my son won 1,000 tickets or that his business has false advertising, the tickets would cost Round1 maybe a couple dollars worth of prizes, and he should do the right thing. He still refused, and when I said that I would file a complaint with the BBB he said to go ahead. Unbelievable! Please find another arcade to spend your money at... one where the employees and (especially) top management have integrity.

    Claw Machine Win

    My boyfriend surprised me with a date night here on a Saturday shortly before 8pm. Crowd wise, it was a little more packed than what we've been used to with Covid precautions the past year, but it is pretty easy to maintain social distancing. I'd say about 25% of the games were out of order, but there are still plenty of games to play. We played games including skee ball, air hockey, a shooter game, fruit ninja, deal or no deal, basketball, whack a clown, and flappy bird! There were also tons of claw machines, with little and big prizes. I managed to surprise Andrew with a mini Koopa Troopa!! We didn't get to bowling or pool, but I wouldn't mind coming back with some friends for that. Overall, he spent $100 total for 2 cards with 260 credits each, but it also costs $1 for a card. We stayed for about 2 hours without much wait for most games!

    I've been to Round 1 a few times. I wanted to get the full scope prior to reviewing. It is a nice entertainment place that is bigger inside than one would assume. Unless you are invested in spending the day here it can take a few visits to get the full experience just because of the variety of things to do. The staff is friendly enough, but they don't necessarily go out of their way for anything. The video game area has many options to choose from. I found good choices for all ages. The card system for purchase to play the games is a little more intense than other like places, but still worth trying out. The billiards area is very nice. They managed to fit a decent amount of tables in an area without making it feel cramped or impeding play. The games are also reasonably priced. I would love to comment on their bowling area, but I have always encountered a 2 hour wait time for a lane. Needless to say, I have not bowled here. They also have a karaoke room with a private setup. I have not managed to convince any groups I've gone with to try this out yet, but I'm hopeful one day we will. One area for improvement is the drinks. I cannot make sense of the pricing. How my husband's draft was almost double the price of my cocktail is beyond me. Thankfully there is a price list posted on a card by the bar register in case you don't want to go in blind. The food however, needs no improvement. Everything has always been fresh and surprisingly delicious. I say surprisingly because it surpasses the taste and quality you'd expect from bar food or a gaming spot. There is also a great value here. I definitely say check this place out at least once.

    The machines here are well maintained, and I've had a blast playing some rhythm games here as well as bowling for a full game when I was casually visiting Mentor! Would recommend!

    UFO Catcher Double Pronged Claw
    Ronald S.

    I don't know why this place only has 3 stars. If you like claw machines this is the place to go. They have like 50 all different styles and types. The claws are UFO catchers with a nod to Asian culture. They have SO many games! Mario Cart, Tomb Raider, Halo, Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, and many more. It can be chaotic at times, but I personally haven't had a problem. They have security and I've been there late night at 2am and there are still a bunch of people. Round1 is modeled on the Tokyo Arcade, which makes it very different from most arcades I've been to. Edit: I didn't even mention the prizes! The prize area has anime figures, game consoles, rare board games, drones, shirts, and much more that you can acquire with tokens. The prizes are what you would find in a Mystery Box from Comic-Con.

    I've been here only a couple times. I came for a kids party and it seemed all right. Then I came back on Labor Day. I called ahead and the associate on the phone said they were open. When I arrived with my kids the place was a mess. My kids still had fun playing, but there was trash everywhere and the kitchen wasn't open. If you plan on coming here to eat or drink call ahead to check if they are fully staffed.

    As a semi-retired DJ myself with over 45 years experience spinning in clubs and doing private gigs…read morelike weddings, reunions, corporate affairs, etc...I think I know a good professional DJ from an amateur. Brandon Stray is among the top tier in northeast Ohio and beyond! What makes him and his company stand out is their ability to custom tailor the entertainment package to YOU, just as the company name implies. The staff includes DJs who each have their own niche and will be matched to the style of your event from soft cocktail to classic disco to hard-rockin' to country-western to karaoke as well! Be careful of DJs who bring home speakers and inadequate sound gear and try to fill a room with clean audio. If something doesn't break, the distorted audio will leave you with a headache. AAYE uses only professional gear from companies like RCF, Electro-Voice, JBL, and others. And it goes beyond just music. To complete the atmosphere, Brandon has one of the largest light shows around, rivaling that of some major national acts. Or he can create an intimate mood just as easily from his huge inventory of lighting fixtures and effects. So if you don't want to worry about this critical aspect of your next event and really impress your guests, you need to talk to Brandon. He takes personal pride and attention no matter how large or small your need and will create not just an event but an experience! Take it from me because he does it just the way I would!

    I wish I could give Brandon more than 5 stars. This experience was perfect. Even from months before…read morethe wedding, his client portal made it easy for us to select our songs. From mic'ing our string duo and officiant at the ceremony to providing excellent music and services at the reception, Brandon was amazing. Brandon's energy day of, made sure no one was sitting all night! He went above and beyond after finding out that the servers forgot to pour champagne at the tables for our toast and took it upon himself to grab some bottles and start pouring. He was very flexible when it came to changes in the time line and any request we may have had. Brandon made us feel like he wasn't just a vendor but a friend.
