COMING SOON A PLAY ROOM FOR PEOPLE WHO GREW UP

An afternoon where nothing is expected of you.

Opening in Greater Boston in 2026. Here’s what we’re building.

Bricks by the bin, an NES on a real TV, board games nobody is precious about, and a giant map you can build yourself into. One fee, a juice box, and no goal required.

WHAT’S IN THERE

Five stations, no order to do them in.

01
The Console
One NES, one TV, two controllers, a bin of cartridges. Blow on it if you must.
02
The Bin
Bricks by color and part. Sort, don’t build. That counts.
03
The Baseplate
Build a small version of yourself and stand it anywhere on the giant map. Build a house around it if you want. Leave it or take it home — both are normal.
04
The Game Shelf
Hungry hippos, not heirlooms. Nothing on this shelf is precious — play it hard.
05
The Quiet Corner
Low light, no music, one chair. Nobody will chat to you there.
THROUGH THE DOORWAY
The Binder
The card room, on the other side of the play space. Quieter, sleeved, and free to browse — no pass needed to buy.
ADMISSION · DRAFT FIGURES, NOT FINAL

One fee. Stay as long as you like.

Working numbers. Nothing here is committed pricing yet.

You’re not buying access to toys. You’re buying a couple of hours where nothing is expected of you. Every pass comes with a juice box and a crustless PB&J — cookie instead, if you’d rather.

Day pass
$14
Everything in the play room, in and out all day. Snack included.
Under 12
$9
With an adult who is also allowed to play.
After five
$8
Weeknights. Quieter, mostly adults, same snack.
Desk pass
$18
Weekdays 10–4. A real desk, good wifi, bottomless coffee, and the bins on your lunch break. $120 a month.
Take your minifig home
Built yourself at the map table? Keep it for $6, or leave it standing and visit it next time.
Wednesday is free
5–9pm, no admission. Snacks for sale, everything else open. Bring someone who thinks this isn’t for them.
Cost shouldn’t be the reason
If the fee is the thing stopping you, say so at the counter and we’ll wave you through. No form, no questions.
HOURS & ACCESS · PLANNED

Different rooms for different nervous systems.

Same space, four ways to be in it. Pick the one that fits the day you’re having.

SUNDAY 9–12
Sensory-friendly hours
Lights down, music off, console muted or headphone-only. Capacity capped so it stays quiet. Fidgets and ear defenders at the counter if you forgot yours.
THU & FRI, 7 TILL CLOSE
Adults only
21 and up. Same bins, later music, nobody’s kid waiting for the controller. Tournament and trade nights land here.
WEDNESDAY 5–9
Free play night
No admission fee, all ages, everything open. The night to bring a friend who needs convincing.
WEEKDAYS 10–4
Desks & day work
Quiet by default. Work at a real desk, sort bricks when you stall, take your call in the corner. Play room open to pass-holders the whole time.
HOUSE RULES
Sit on the floor. It’s clean and that’s what it’s for.
You do not owe anyone conversation.
No gatekeeping, no price-shaming, no “well actually.”
Info-dumping about your special interest is encouraged.
Sorting is playing.
Snacks stay out of the card room.
THE CARD ROOM

Graded, sleeved, and priced for people who remember trading these at recess.

Three ways in, in plain words. No sealed-product speculation, no grading lecture unless you ask for one.

$5 — a handful of cards you’ll recognize
Pulled from the era you actually played in.
$20 — one deck, ready to play tonight
Built by us. Rules sheet in one page, not twenty.
Free — sit at the table and watch first
Nobody will make you join a game.

We’re building it now. Greater Boston, 2026.

We buy bricks, cards, boxed games, and the stuff your mom gave away. Send photos, we’ll quote honestly.
