Cortex CoGaming Center

We had never been to cortex CoGaming before, but happened upon it in an Internet search while looking for places to host a birthday party for my 9 year old who loves video games. I’m not disappointed at all. The staff are so helpful and kind. The place is clean and there’s plenty of things to get into. It’s big enough for a larger party but Intimate enough for a small group like we had. Thanks so much for being so helpful. My kiddo had a great time! (I had to practically drag him out the door)

I attended the Global Game Jam this year at this location and it was easily one of the most fun times I have ever had. We were provided brunch and dinner, were checked in on from time to time, and met some awesome people. The people who work here are incredible. I will definitely be returning for Global Game Jam next year!!

Great place to have fun with friends and family playing games together! Virginia and her staff are awesome! We love spending time at Cortex CoGaming! Thank you Virginia!

Cortex offers a creative, engaging, fun outlet for gamers and non-gamers alike. There is a very nice variety of different consoles, technologies, and non-electronic games. The environment is comfortable, clean and safe. But the community is where this place really shines. The founders and members are so friendly and inclusive. This place is great! Our whole family from adults to young kids love going and playing!

We went to a Minecon Earth party here for my son and he loved every minute of it! What a great spot for our community to have! The owners are wonderfully friendly people and are really interested in doing things that are fun and safe for kids in the community that love gaming! Keep up and the great work guys!

Cortex CoGaming Center is an innovative business that is redifining what a video game lounge can be. Not only is it a fun, safe place for kids to play the latest and most popular games on the market across multiple platforms, but Cortex is also working to promote strong STEM skills by giving its members access to professional programmers, programming software, and a collaborative space to grow and nurture their love of video games.I highly recommend Cortex CoGaming Center for any young video game enthusiasts.

I work in the building where Cortex is located and I got a little nerd-glee when I first heard about it. They have several large-screen televisions with gaming consoles and space for laptop and desktop PCs. The environment is clean and friendly and the staff are too! ;)I work as a game developer and having this space here, with owners who are excited to support local businesses and game developers especially, means that I have access to a place to perform testing and focus group activities. I cannot express how important that is. Developing a game in isolation will not result in success, so I plan to make use of this space often (you know, in addition to all the time Ill be playing games).

Cortex CoGaming is truly an amazing place for just that, cogaming. Bring the family! Bring your friends! Lets play games! Bring your own board game to share or try out one of the many video game systems on the MANY different stations. Show off your Mario Kart skills on the original Mario Kart for SNES or play that latest FPS on a PS4 - theres something for everyone!

Fun family night, and they have a little bit of everything.

Awesome. Just pure awesomeness. (As a competitive gamer, game collector, and game developer, I approve of this message)

Excellent staff, nice facilities, and growing selection of games and activities. Excited to see how the community grows!
