And when someone asks you what you did for New Years Eve, you can either tell them that you stayed home or went to some lame party or you can tell them that you partied into the new year with 900 young adults at Game Works. Ok, so I didn't get to party so much as make sure that everything kept going smoothly. You know, no tossing the pool tables around or molesting the hired help.
But it still was a lot of fun. There are hundreds of games and these kids were outstanding. They were just fun to "people watch" as they gathered and played against each other.
There were tons of video games from racing cars,cycles, snow mobiles to ones with virtual reality helmets. There were several pool tables and air hockey games. And there were several of these "Dace Hero" type games that get played like guitar hero except with your feet . . . like the one at the right.
There were the shoot em up, hunt em down games and the shoot the basketball games. There was even a huge room just for playing board games for those who were into that with a little less noise. Yes, there was music playing loudly wherever you went. I guess they were just trying to leran to relate to us old people by doing activities where you had to yell at everyone to be heard. But the music selection was pretty good, even by my lowly standards.
And upstairs (yes, there were
two floors of activities) in one area was the dance floor. And the later it got the more people gathered there until about midnight it was standing, barely breathing room only. So, of course, they did some of those hopping dances where everyone looks like pop corn jumping up and down. The new year count down was great (as you can see). But were these youth ready to go home? Not by a long shot and so they danced and played some more until we finally herded them out about 12:30. What a fun activity. But next year I'm going to get there early so I can play some before people-watching.
