Thanks! I think I did pretty good there tonight. I also found that they have coupons in the entertainment books. Here's what we did.
It was my middle DD's birthday, so she had 3 friends and my older DD took a friend too. DH was sick (great timing), so I took our 3 kids and 4 friends there by myself.
They have a deal to choose from 8 entrees and get a $10 game card for $15.99. We each got one of those. I had also signed myself and the 3 kids up for the free $10 that they offer online. So, we had the 8 $10 gift cards plus 4 of the free $10 sign up bonuses. I then used one of the coupons from the entertainment book which was buy $10 get $10 free. That basically made up 14 $10 segments, so each of the kids got $20 worth of game play and our meals for about $175 (tip included). I thought that was pretty good. Not cheap by any means, but I didn't think it'd be cheap to begin with.
One of the other things that makes the entree and $10 game card for $15.99 a good deal is that when you put money on a game card if you don't have a card to put it on, you have to pay an additional $2 for the card, so to start from scratch and put $10 on a card actually costs $12. The entree deal also included the cost of the card.
Anyway, just thought I'd share our experience
