Ive been taking my son here since he was 4 years old. Tess the young lady working here has always been so warm and friendly with us. I definitely recommend this place for parties, all the staff are so helpful and welcoming. My son loves coming here because they do have all the latest video games. The prices are awesome too!

Definitely premium! Great atmosphere, it’s very interactive between players. Love the leather reclining seats and the rows of flat screens . They do Birthday parties too and have all kinds of daily sales.

Hello everyone!! I worked here for a few years, some of you might even remember me. This place was the BEST job I’ve ever had. Working at Playlive Nation was like a second home for me, I never dreaded going to work. The environment we created there felt fun and exciting! That’s only possible because of all the incredible people who showed up daily/weekly. I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work at such an amazing place and meet all the awesome people who showed up through those doors. Besides working here, let’s talk about my experience that made me want to work here in the first place:As a kid, I always wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons and going there gave me the opportunity to experience the game first hand. D&D was 100x better then I even dreamed it could be. There was endless possibilities and millions of adventures to go on. Just think of it as an RPG, but you can do anything you want! (With DM approval and high rolls of course ) Make time to play atleast one game, D&D is for kids and adults. Whether you were a veteran or a beginner. This place is #1 for D&D!! I always saw people playing Magic, but no one ever wanted to teach me until I went to Playlive. I showed up at an Open House event and they sat down with me and taught me how to play and gave me a free starter deck. If you want to learn how to play Magic The Gathering, this is a great place to pick up a starter deck and learn. (This day I also asked if they were hiring)To sum everything up, Playlive Riverside helped me make life-long friendships and taught me how to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people. Along the way, I also picked up some fun hobbies.

It has a Soft Opening Tonight it looks Amazing Video Games of anything u like plus Magic The Gathering / Yu-Gi-oh! /Dungeons & Dragons Torments come Check him out He opens Oficially FRIDAY!!

My nephew enjoys playing the kid games.

Just had my sons 14th party. Great place. The kids loved it!

Best place for all ages, I would recommend this place to everyone. The staff are extremely friendly and the price is reasonable. My son who is 9 loves this place. The owner is so nice and helpful. If your ever at the Tyler mall with kids you should check this place out....

This place is amazing!! Whether you wanna play some dnd, bring your own board game, or play some video games, the staff and manager are so helpful!! If you have any questions the staff is helpful and kind and will help to answer all your questions! If you and your friends need somewhere to hangout or you just wanna play some games for an hour, this is your place!!

Ill explain my rating. I went to playLive to check it out for a few hours. I was expecting a decent hourly rate. Its $10.00 per hour. They force you to get a all-day pass for $16.5 which is decent. But for those of us with a handful of hours its not worth it. No negotiation skills at all either. They didnt care about my time or money.

Me and my son have been going to this location for about a year. We always have a great experience with excellent service. Recently, we had are sons birthday party there and had a blast. This is a great place to have a party or to sit and play your favorite games.

Really nice staff members, clean chairs, clean equipment and the air conditioned interior left me wanting to stay longer.

The place is entertaining and it has board games and video games plus good way to make friends. Great staff there

Always come for dnd and the video games are awesome. I feel theres a little something for everyone.

I went inside to check it out as I heard through a friend that this place had opened. It is clean, organized, and the gaming stations set up are quite impressive. The prices on the card games and board games are reasonable and the saleswoman working at the time was kind to me as well to everyone who came up to her while we chatted about the place and how everything worked. She was very helpful at informing me of the prices and how everything worked and what PLAYlive Nation offered. I can see myself returning here periodically for the upcoming tournaments and just to enjoy the chill atmosphere.

Great service every time I go

Had a very pleasant experience today. Really cool and hip joint to hang out & play cards. Store owner was really nice and plan on frequenting here often.

This play is over rated for its console play. The internet is really laggy if you play online it will take a really long time for you to get into a match without being kicked more time them not. Check you connection speed before you play. Their packages seem like a good deal but theyre basically stealing your money. If you go for the card games or card tournaments then it is a great place but not consol online game. Plus if the open late and you start playing late they will kick you of early. Supposed to be 3 hours of gameplay Monday to Thursday for $10 a month however if you do not get 3 hours they will still remove you

Fun place to take your kids.

I’ve had many great experiences here! It’s always clean and cool and all of the staff are extremely nice! I will definitely be returning.

Best shop Ive been to in years. Quality customer service. Very welcoming atmosphere. Shop owner makes the place feel like home.

Excellent place to hang out with friends.

My daughter absolutely loves this place and its s safe environment for your kids to hang out , while you shop it just to drop off to play games!

Great little place, tons of games and pretty great prices. Free playtime for various reasons including good grades. Great place for kids and adults

This place is awesome. Noah, tess and art are awesome employees. They have impeccable customer service. Definitely coming back

My son love this place.

Always a great experience here. I spend usually more than half the week here

Great DnD. Connect with PLN on the discord server to find out about ALL of the DnD games people run there. DnDnDonuts is on Sunday at 3pm. More dnd on other days, too.

Headset is pretty bad rest is fine

I Just started going here to play magic with some friends. Staff is friendly everyone seems to be fun and drama free. I am goimg to keep going back for magic and may see who shows up for Warhammer.

At 4:30 pm when the place should be open is closed for a private event, wich I think is bs, the place should be open.

Great place to hang out and the staf is very friendly.

This place is so fun! I started coming here a couple months ago and every time I come in either Noah, Tess or Art greet me and make me feel welcome. I often play DnD here and Art is a great dm for starter or veteran players. I can always count on Noah for magic the gathering advice, and Tess is great at helping me with fortnite or Overwatch. Even the guests always seem to be in a good mood too. The place is very clean. Relaxing, energetic atmosphere. They are always fully stocked on items I need for dnd and magic. Overall highly recommended if you are a gamer!

This game shop is a very unique and innovative experience.The shop owner and workers hold up the customers experience as their number one priority and do a great job in introducing them to a steadily growing community of games such as DnD, MtG, YGO, tabletop, and video games.Casual and competitive events for the prior stated activities are held on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis, so there is always something to do!One honest issue is that throughout some days, mostly between the transition of events, there can be a very high volume of people so the space becomes a little cramped. It may take a little extra time to get your questions or wants taken care of, however, the staff does an excellent job at managing the influx and getting what you need!If you want to play video games, dump your annoying high schoolers while you go shopping, or meet new people and go on multi hour DnD sessions with a new crew, then swing by playlive and check it out!

The Gaming experience there was phenomenal, and the staff was very helpful, what really struck me was the people there! Me , my cousin, and brother were all playing Yu-Gi-Oh at the tables there and the manager himself gave me a free deck box after hearing i didnt own own from my brother, On top of that, the customers there were extremely friendly and gave me and my party a huge stack of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, overall 10/10 and i will be returning there often.

Love it

Great

10/10 would again

Chill spot.

Love it
