Laredo's new family entertainment center is only weeks away from its opening, but before it opens fully to the public, they're enlisting Laredoans into a hunt for 10 missing bowling pins.

The bowling pins, which have been scattered throughout the city, are a great opportunity for Laredoans who'd like to sample the entertainment center.

The lucky few that find the pins earn an invitation to Main Event's VIP grand opening and free games for a year. The luckiest of the group, who manages to find the special golden pin, will actually win free games for life.

Clues leading to the missing pins are being shared via Main Event's social media accounts on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. So far, clues have been released for the first four pins, of which, three have already been found by lucky Laredoans. The contest will continue through Saturday, with clues coming regularly online.

“We hope everyone in the Laredo community will help us search for our lost pins so that we can make sure this grand opening is an event the community will never forget,” general manager Mario Villanova said in a press release. “We cannot wait to bring our one-of-a-kind experience to Laredo."

The Laredo location, which is set to open in the Mall del Norte, will be the company's 44th location and one of the company's largest, according to a release. Spanning over 60,000 square feet, the Laredo location will include a multitude of games, a mini-golf course, a laser tag arena and 20 full bowling lanes for families to enjoy. Main Event will also include a full service restaurant and bar.
