Gaming at the ORC

10/24/2024

Tomorrow is the Vidor Homecoming Parade!! We will open at 9am and close at 12 so everyone has time to escape or find a place to watch the parade. We will reopen as soon as the parade finishes up! If you're sitting in this general area and get some Orc money, come buy a drink or snack before you head home!!

I want to start opening a few times during the week for walk in gamers, starting off i want to do Monday and Thursday so we can also watch whatever NFL game is on that night. I'm thinking for junior to high school ages. Depending on the feedback and attendance maybe i can do 1 night for each age group. We will start this as a free weekly night just to Guage intrest and get feedback!

If you go to Playing at the ORC dont park at Domino's Pizza , you will be towed. Does anyone know a business that will give a discount on bulk orders? The Orc businesses are responsible for nearly 50 pizza sales a week, If Domino's wants to tow its customers, I'll find a business that will be happy to have us as customers. If you know a small business pizza shop tag them in the comments

Week of July 10th. Looking for something to do? This week Gaming at the ORC will be open Wednesday 3pm-8pm, Thursday 3pm-8pm, Saturday 5pm-10pm and Sunday 1pm-6pm.

Looking for something to do this summer? We are ready to open for walk-in gamers! Today, Monday, June 17th, will be our first day! Admission is $10. For payment, we accept cash, PayPal, and Venmo. Re-entry is allowed, but no outside food or drinks are permitted. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we will only be open if we don't have a private party. So, text the number below or check Facebook for weekend availability. The plan is to get out of this small building ASAP; in the meantime, our maximum occupancy for the day is 20 guests. Can an arcade like ours be open 30 hours a week and get the traffic needed to stay open, or is the private party business model a better fit? Let's find out!

Hey everybody, I need your feedback!
This year I've been questioning if I am taking the business in the right direction and it's time to make a decision. Right now our small 1k sq ft space works very well as a private party venue.
I can see one just like it working in every city in SETX. But will an arcade, open 30+ hours a week with weekend parties work? Future expansion could include table games like pool, ping pong, fooseball, air hockey, and larger arcade games like dance dance revolution, batting or golf simulators? This summer we will open as much as I can to test the idea. There will be gaming options at Playing at the ORC and Gaming at the ORC. I dont have the space to offer everything I want, but if we have a successful summer, expect to see something bigger next year!

I've been looking for a Rock Band set for over 2 years, last week I found one, just in time for weekend parties!! Its a little scary to have a relic like that in here, but its gonna be fun seeing everyone jam out!
