Saturday Afternoon at SuperPlay

We’ve reserved SuperPlay in Beaverton, Oregon for our group from 12-3pm, meaning we have the space during prime time. We have the entire 400 person capacity space to ourselves (no more than half capacity will be ticketed).  All ticketholders have three hours of unlimited bowling, with shoe rental. You can upgrade your ticket to include unlimited arcade games and/or unlimited laser tag. While we can’t lower the volume of games in the arcade, we will lower the volume of any other sound from video or audio.

This venue is quite large, with 24 lanes for bowling. Each lane has push button bumpers for kids, and is all digitized. The arcade is a wrap around, with lots of immersive games (I didn’t see many arcade games, and no pinball). The laser tag is huge, with a long hallway and many rooms off to the right and left. 24 players can play at a time, we’ll have games for kids, adults and mixed each hour.

There is no food or drink in the building, however, SuperPlay will set up outdoor dining specially for us, so you will be able to order food from the menu and eat it outside, at well spaced tables. The menu includes gluten free, vegetarian and vegan food.

Tickets are non-refundable, but are transferrable. Please reach out if you’d like to transfer the ticket to someone else.

Safety

All attendees will need to mask with a high quality mask (kn94, n95, or similar), no valves or SIP valves. All staff will be wearing 3M Auras.  We will try to place air purifiers throughout the venue, but the space will surely be larger than the purifiers can reasonably exchange. We are the first people in the building on Saturday, but there will have been unmasked bowlers and staffers in the evening before.

There are two spaces where you can go outside to unmask: a side door that opens to a small, long walkway and patio. This is an adults only space. There is an additional patio area to the side of the alley that will be cordoned off as a dining space for us. Tables will be spaced apart, and someone will be stationed outside to help you find a table when you come out. It’s expected that while dining, you and your group will remain at your table, seated, and will not walk around. If you have to get up from the table, put your mask back on. The only time masks should be off is while seated and eating.

Children under 2 that can’t mask are welcome at this event. We will ask parents to ensure that unmasked kids do not cross into the end of the alley and bar area, so that medically fragile folks can have their space, too. We will have laser tag games for kids only, adults only, and mixed groups, and we’ll ask that unmasked kids not be in the laser tag area during that time, again, to accommodate medically fragile folks.

If you are medically fragile and prefer to not be in a space with unmasked under 2’s, please indicate it on your ticket.

Accessibility

The entire venue is accessible, with ball ramps for the lanes, and ramps available for all stairs.  The ramps are not the kind with tubing that get shaky, these are solid one piece ramps that we’ve tested, and there are plenty of them. To enter the venue, you park along the side of the building, where the handicapped spaces are. From there you’ll proceed alongside the outdoor dining area to the second set of doors. Video will be provided before the event of this path.

Inside the venue, there is a chair lift from the top level to the lower level which houses the alleys and laser tag. There’s only one lift, and it’s at the end of the alley, so based on what you want to do, you might have to travel along the back of the alleys a ways to get back to the lift. In the video, you will see the lift is out of order, however, it was repaired that same day as a condition of our contract, and their service agency is on call for the week of our event. They have guaranteed the lift will work the day of the event.

Laser tag is accessible, however- there are offshoot rooms with very steep ramps. There are still spaces you can access (each side room has a loft and lower level), but upper levels might be hard, and remember, you’re in the dark. In the game, players don’t “die”, if you get shot enough, your pack stops for a minute and then resets so you can keep playing.

The upper level is all flat, and includes the help desk, arcade, a seating area, snack bar and access to the outside, as well as the bathrooms. View the videos below to get an idea of accessibility.
