7. What is Free Play Arcade?
The best arcade chain in DFW. Meticulously maintained retro arcade games and pinball machines, 100+ craft beer options, and delicious food. Ten bucks gets you in the door and all of the games are set to free play! We are the hosts, judges, and creators of the tournament series.
8. What are the nearby hotels?
Most travel players will be staying at the Hyatt Place. Rather than give you a discount code, we advise you to seek the lowest rate through the various silly travel websites that play numerous pricing games. Though you will see prices at $130 per night per room, travel sites will often have rates as low as $60 per night per room.
