For what seems like years to me, gaming has been keeping people further and further apart. While we can play these amazing new games from halfway across the world together, it's becoming more and more of a chore to sit down with friends, family, or even strangers and just... play! Even when you have the time, new consoles are certainly not a drop in the bucket. For a single game, 4 controllers, and a console, you're close to spending anywhere between $500-$900!

Something else that has bugged me has been the trouble of tabletop gaming. What I mean by that, is that there are tons of great tabletop games, old and new, that are not getting the attention that they deserve. Perhaps it's just the small town I live in, but it would be easier to build an actual Arwing and do a Barrel Roll than get a group of people together and play any game.Times change. New technology often leaves behind the old, and with it certain things are lost. But we shouldn't let that change how we can game.

Let's Play Together is my idea and dream to open a local place for family, friends, and even strangers to meet, hang out, and play! Everything from arcade games of old, to the newest games of today! A place to hang out before or after the movies. New experiences to see if you still enjoy gaming, or want to try new ones. A place to make things simple again and just play games and have fun.

With the funding from Kickstarter, I will be securing a location and buying all of the supplies and products to get the business up and running before summer hits. I will also be using the funding to promote and advertise the business so that once we open, we are bringing in customers. Most of the construction, painting, and other sweat work involved I will be doing myself or having my family and friends help, in order to lower initial costs.

Anything past the initial funding will help to add more features, such as a VR section, computer stations, and more. To start off, the arcade will be a bit on the smaller side, with room to grow as we get bigger and have more customers. I plan on having at least 4-5 classic arcade cabinets, along with at least 2 of each new console with a TV hook up. There will also be tabletop room to play board games, have a snack, drink, or just hang out. So come on, and Let's Play Together!
