Operating in Brownsburg, Indiana, since June 20, 2020, Press Play Gaming Lounge offers a diverse entertainment experience within a 28,000-square-foot facility that once housed a Marsh grocery store. Conceived by founder Ray Embry, the venue was designed to combine various attractions into a single, family-friendly destination. It features virtual reality experiences, including the advanced Omni Arena, a dedicated foam wars arena for NERF battles, a 3-point basketball challenge, and an arcade with both classic and modern games and pool tables. The lounge also provides “TV Pods” equipped with Xbox consoles for group gaming, an interactive BEAM floor for toddlers, private party rooms, and a café and sports bar.
Press Play Gaming Lounge quickly became a significant recreational hub for the Brownsburg community, particularly as it opened its doors amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The business adapted to the challenges with strong community support, which proved vital to its continued operation. It serves as an inclusive space for all ages, offering affordable entertainment and aiming to foster connections through shared experiences, from high-tech gaming to physical activities, and has been recognized for providing a safe environment for families and friends to gather.
