Its nice to have a business that supports local card players in a central location. The primary business is renting a chair and time on a console to pay. Ive never done that. They also sell some Pokemon cards and MTG cards hand have tables for playing. A local Pokemon league plays on Sundays from 2-4. I appreciate the owners having us there and having sleeves and mats available for purchase.

This was a great experience. Very helpful and nice staff. Bought a controller faceplate to customize my Xbox controller and was shown the easiest way to do it. Got 3 hours of gameplay for a family member and was very helpful when she wanted to change games. They were playing magic the gathering card game there on multiple tables and they have supplies for it too. Niece had fun and Im excited to customize my controller.

This place is great. Super cool staff. Theres video games, Magic the Gathering, and Dungeons and Dragons. The also do parties and private events. They need to make their website a bit more user friendly plus have their card listed on an inventory online. The club music is a bit cheesy but it adds to the aesthetic

I swear, the absolute luckiest card shop ive been to. But besides that, the staff are amazing, the environment is aesthetic, and the regulars are super chill. If youre looking for a card shop to frequent or regular, this is the place to go. Keep up the good work my friends!

Hard to come play at 1pm when it’s 1:17 pm and it isn’t open. Not the first time I’ve come and nobody was here. I’ve watched at least 4 people not including myself walk up to play and walked away.

I’ve been here before multiple times and I love it! The people at the register are nice and ask how’s my day! I even met some new friends my age, and the music is great! I would recommend going here if you can’t afford a console or can share one

Pretty crowded for fnm, not a good tournament atmosphere if thats what youre looking for, mostly casual players with a few random spikes. Plenty of video game stations though.

Review №23

Literally the smash bros tournament is a joke in terms of professionalism and i had to pay 15 dollars?! Just only one setup and none of the characters are unlocked, just only the starting roster. I want my money back but i only stayed because my friends were so yeah.. i dont make much money, i wanted a refund but he did not allude to that at all when my friend and i told him about the situation. Playing at home on my wide screen monitor gave me a better experience than this..That AND there was literally only 5 people that showed up and 1 other kid show yeah. I get that they are starting out, but this is terrible/ mediocre hosting..

Highly disappointed that its not an *actual* nation, but they did have some pretty sick games. 1/5 stars.

Love this place. Pricing is pretty average and reasonable. The chairs are also pretty comfortable. Selection of snack items are good. The only thing that prevented me from giving a 5 start rating, is how loud the music is. I would most definitely turn down the music and not have it so loud. I was playing a ranked match on R6S and instead of hearing me, my teammates only heard the music and echoing. It was really annoying and affected how I played because I could hardly hear the game over the music. So my only complaint is the volume of the music. Otherwise it was a great spot to game!

PLAYlive is sooo awesome. The Employee is so nice! He tells you all you need to know! Prices are great there. For example if you are shopping and your kid doesnt want to shop you can leave him/her there at PLAYlive to play and then you can go happily shopping.

Both the staff and owner are great people going above and beyond to make your time here as enjoyable as they can. Great deals and wide variety in games. Perfect place for kids they restrict what your allowed to do in certain games to make sure it is as family friendly as possible. never have had a bad experience with the staff or owner, will continue to come here for a long time.

Great place for kids. Its actually a pretty cool and safe place to play. They have some good guys working there. I have a family membership. We go here and there. Its cool they let you bank up hours and then you can have a kids all marathon and play a bunch in a day. Its worth it as something different. If you want to take your kids to do something they dont usually go and do. Anthony is a cool employee that works there. Give it a shot.

You’re D&D night is a joke and your customer service is trash. Thursday night came around so my a friend and I head over ready to play and finally try this rpg. Well, we get there and a magic tournament was still happening. We’re told D&D will start at around 8 probably. Cool, no issue, it’s the mall, we can kill an hour. Fast forward to about 7:50, 7:55ish, and we come back to hear it’s already started. It was a 5 player only game as well. The other DM also canceled apparently. Oh, but the worst part was the customer service. Everything else was bearable if there was decent service, but no. There was no sincere apology and no care to the blatant lie which was acknowledged by a “yeah we started early.” What we were told was we can always try again next week or call to check in ahead of time and stuff, which was basically the equivalent to “oops, well you should have been more proactive to get in.” No, you should have been more professional when we literally did what we were told already. Great first impression guys, I’ll make sure others know how much you care about the customer. You wasted our time, lied to us, and did nothing to fix it.

They dont have ps4 only Xbox. the Xbox controller is too big, and the PS4 controller is small and thats why I prefer PS4 instead. But, this is great for kids to stay n play, while parents go shopping. The guy who works at the van mall location is AWESOME!! super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, A+++++ customer service!

This place is AWESOME!!! I work with youth in a group home and almost EVERY DAY they ask me if I can bring them here. We pace ourselves and usually come out about once a week. This place offers an opportunity for youth to play the most recent and popular video games with over 20 flat screen TVs and individual gaming chairs and usually has people there playing Magic or other card games. This is a safe place for gamers to game and the staff are ALWAYS kind and very positive with everyone that comes in. Both Boban and Josh really make the place a great environment to spend some time at and are almost always available to engage in playing games or advising on how to play games. A great spot to bring anyone of any age to come and have a good time! Thanks again!

I dont know how to thank PLAYLive Nation for my 10 year old sons birthday. My boy had the best birthday ever he said, and his friends were having so much fun. With a group of many boys at this age, its almost impossible to satisfy all but your place made that happen tonight!!! They even went out of their way to accomodate my needs and wants for the party. AMAZING!! I have been receiving messages from parents of kids how much their boy had fun tonight. Thank you so much for making my boys birthday so speical. The gentleman there (Josh) was SUPER friendly and helpful and I cant thank him enough! You guys rock!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this place to any other mom who is considering their kids birthday party there. You will become one of coolest moms ever for that!

I brought in my controller to just simply get a broken joy stick fixed on June 30th and Ive called several times and they said they will call me and keep me updated. 2 months later still no call! I dont plan on doing any further business with you guys. You lack communication, and clearly lack on tech-support. If I could Id give it a 0-5 stars
