Round1 Bowling & Arcade Broadway Commons

I spent about $120 and won several adorable plushies that made the experience totally worth it. The employee is helpful, the claw machines are well-maintained and have a great variety of prizes to choose from. It’s not just about winning but also the excitement of the game itself that keeps you coming back for more. If you’re looking for a fun and lively arcade experience, Round 1 is the perfect spot

Come on down to Round1 Bowling & Arcade. Part of the Broadway Common Mall, you can have some fun after you had done some shopping at IKEA, Target, or one of the mall's many stores! A large parking lot is behind the mall, divided for IKEA customers, Target customers, and Round1 customers. However, parking can get full fast, so come early! If you plan on doing the arcade, I recommend scoping out the arcade first. You should determine whether you want to focus on the claw machines or on the arcade games. You can do both, but I do recommend focusing on one section at a time. This can also help determine how much credit to add to your play card. I recommend doing at least $50, so you can earn one of the free giveaways. There are two, every month or so it is different! If you ever need assistance, feel free to ask the staff. My group had some technical difficulties with the claw machines and the staff were very helpful! The plush are winnable, you just need to find the easy targets. Downstairs, you can find bowling, karaoke, billiards, ping pong, and darts. My group only tried the bowling. One hour of play will give you approximately six 10-frame games. Meaning if you are in a group of 4, you can play around 1.5 games before your time runs out. My only complaint is that there are limited amount of bowling balls. Granted, the bowling balls may have been on the other side or being polished, but my group was only able to find a ball each. While that is alright, it did cut into our time as we needed to wait for our only ball to return before we could bowl again. Nonetheless, this place is fun and entertaining. The area is large enough that it does not get too crowded with people, but you may need to wait your turn on several of the claw machines or arcade games. Don't lose your play card as they can hold your extra credit and tickets. Feel free to cash out a prize at their prize store or save it for next time.

Our group had an amazing ✨️👏 time🥰. It's all about pure fun and letting go. The price was good also. Karaoke 🎤 rooms are spacious, although they can do better with the air quality, we needed AC to work in that room for our large group...they provided us with 3 fans, that didn't cut help. For that they get 4 stars🌟 .

2025 EDIT: The airsoft machine is still broken after a whole year, and the new light gun game up front is also broken. The floor is now mostly claw games with cheap toys and the video game section is decreasing in size. The cost of playing games has gone up as well. There are two people walking the floor helping out instead of one, but for the aforementioned reasons I have to downgrade this to two stars. ORIGINAL REVIEW To round 1 management, I love this place. There's no other place in a wide radius that offers what you do in your selection of gaming cabinets and machines with really good service. However, it doesn't mean much if over 20 machines don't work at a single time, and it also doesn't mean much if you only have one person working the whole floor to replenish prizes and otherwise help people. Over the course of the last five years, there were less functional machines each time I've visited. Times are tough and inflation is bad but the decrease in quality of service is not sustainable. Be better and hire more people and fix the machines regularly. I want to keep supporting your business and spread the good word, but having working machines is the bar you have to make at least.
