Mindboggle: Valley View Mall

Mindboggle was an arcade located at 4802 Valley View Boulevard NW within the Valley View Mall in Roanoke, Virginia. Opening on July 17, 1985, as one of the mall’s original tenants, the arcade was known for its distinctive dark interior, arcade carpeting, and abundant neon lighting. Positioned near an entrance that now houses Barnes & Noble, Mindboggle featured a prominent neon sign and created an immersive gaming atmosphere. The venue is permanently closed, though its exact closing date remains unknown.
