COVID-19 precautions
To ensure the safety of our visitors and our staff, we have introduced enhanced sanitizing measures for the Games area.
- Games are sanitized after use. Additionally, visitors are welcome to sanitize a game before use themselves using provided disinfectant wipe.
- Table tops and chairs will be wiped down between uses.
- We have selected a variety of games that are easily cleaned and have limited pieces.
- Furniture is spaced out to accommodate social distancing.
- Games Host onsite can assist in setting up socially distant games (example: two people play chess at nearby tables each with their own board, and echo one another’s moves on their own board).
