FREE hour of gameplay at Gameworks

[scoreadeal]

I was cruising Gameworks.com while I was bored today... saw they had a promotional thing where you give them your email address and they send you discounts, etc... so I slapped my spam account in there. I was pleasantly surprised when they immediately sent a free hour pass which you print out and take in... Those are worth $20. If you've never been to Gameworks, they are pretty cool, but I wouldn't go unless it was free!

for all of you that received this free hour through e-mail:

since you're on gamework's new "deals" list, check your email account again. There's a new coupon for a "Family Gameday". This isn't so hot... but what the heck

Show your coupon for buy one "Tailgate Buffet" or "Hall of Famer" get one free:

Every Sunday

The Tailgate Buffet
11am to 4pm
$12.95 Adult
$6.95 Children

not impressed?
well... there's this:

the "Hall of Famer"
The above mentioned Tailgate Buffet
3 Hours of Video Game Play
$10 Prize card (I guess to use the ticket games)
$29.95 Adult
$24.95 Children


since anandtechers love it spelled out... here goes...
$30 for:
2 buffets (booze not included)
6 hours of Gameplay
2 - $10 Prize Cards

In theory:

1. You could take your girlfriend out for lunch
2. Take care of 2 X-mas presents (prize cards)
3. Work off 30 lbs. with 6 hours of Dance Dance Revolution

not so bad when you think of it. or.. when you really think about it... it IS pretty bad.

welcome anandtech... to the worst dealfinder this side of the Matrix.

enjoy!

Does the free play time include the pool tables?? I hope so!

[monochromeSKYY]

honestly... i dont think that the pool tables are included... you have to go to the bar and ask for tha bawls... You pay them when you're done... it think its totally separate.

 

[UncleWai]

pool, machines with rewards are not part of the freeplay.
My cheapo advice:
If you go with your friends, share the card....... much longer free play.....
At the last 10 minutes, stick with a long game (house of the dead1/2) and pump credits into it.... another hour.

 

[monochromeSKYY]

UncleWai...

i bow to your wisdom...

if anyone needs me... ill be out behind taco bell digging in the dumpster

I dont have a gameworks, but I have a Gameworks Studio (Philadelphia), which is also listed on their website, but isnt selectable on the Registration. Do you think it would apply?
