Ryan is a wonderful host and the House of Games was the perfect place for my son’s 14th birthday and a family get together. The boys had a blast! So many games!! It was amazing. And the set up is great too. The kids were able to play downstairs and the adults hung out upstairs. – Gini

We meet up halfway between St. Louis & Wisconsin for some family fun.

Great for all ages. So many great game options. Everyone really enjoyed the finely stocked sodas & ice cream treats.

Kids loved the pac man themed room.

Location was convenient & close to Miller Park Playground & Zoo. The immediate neighborhood is major roads but you just have to cross an intersection to go for a run or walk. – Joel

The property was amazing! It is decorated beautifully and all amenities/electronics are perfectly accessible. We were a little nervous since it’s right off the busy road, but the bi-level duplex was perfect set up for a children's party. The kids had an amazing time and adults as well. The owners paid close attention to detail with descriptions for and set up for everything. We had rave reviews from party attendants (6-9 year olds). Will definitely book again and highly recommend! – Hailey

Very clean and loved the house, Definitely reccomend! I wish we could of stayed longer! – Christine

I booked this Airbnb for my son's birthday. It was an awesome experience for him and his friends. Lots of great games and the free soda and ice cream was a nice touch. The host was in contact with me promptly and was very nice. He offered to pay for pizza the second evening as we could not play the gaming consoles due to a malfunctioning converter that he had to order. Check it out! You won't be sorry! – Jennifer

Great place! We held our family holiday here. There was something for everyone, as we had a wide age range. Even adults loved the vintage games & held a fierce Galaga tournament. Nice backyard to have a fire for hot dogs & S'Mores. The electronic board game table was the biggest hit! Ryan was quick to answer any questions or assist us. We loved it all!

Such a fun AirBnb! Great amenities, super cute decor, and an awesome variety of video and arcade games. Looking forward to many stays here with my friends and family! The hosts are fantastic! – Krystal

We hosted my son's 7th birthday party at the House of Games and he kept saying "This was the best birthday EVER!" It was incredibly hard to tear the kids away from the games for cake and pizza, they didn't want to stop!! – Allison

Great time! A lot of gaming options and endless amounts of fun. The property as a whole is very clean and an awesome place to unwind and relax. Will recommend to anyone and cannot wait to go back! – Justin
