PLAYlive Nation

We operate premium social gaming lounges that bring together digital gaming, tabletop gaming, gaming-oriented merchandise, and buy-sell-trade services in one location. Our spaces are designed for the general public and gaming enthusiasts who want a clean, upscale, and immersive place to play, socialize, and shop. We run a retail entertainment business focused on in-store experiences rather than seasonal or event-based service. Customers come to us for a comfortable gaming environment, access to games and related products, and a community setting built around shared interests in gaming.
