After realizing how much I enjoy playing redemption prize games in Niagara I decided to visit Playdium yesterday. I haven't been to Playdium since I was a kid so I was really looking forward to seeing what has changed since then.
Me and my boyfriend shared the $25 play card which was pretty good since it lasted us more than an hour at Playdium. Note: They will charge you 25 cents for the card if you don't already have one. The majority of the credits were spent on redemption prized games. There were lots of kids last night but there were also couples there too so it wasn't too weird. Some of the machines malfunctioned by either stealing or not accepting our tokens. Two of the machines we were at either didn't give us enough or any tickets so we had to find a staff member to fix it for us. I was pretty disappointed when we won 2000 tickets at the Deal or No Deal game because the machine only gave us ~1400 tickets . We're pretty sure there were no more tickets left in the machine but we didn't get the 600 tickets we were missing.
The prizes here are way better than Captain Jack's and probably Dave and Buster's. For $25 we ended up with a box of Hello Kitty jelly bellies, and two stuffed animals.
Overall, we had an enjoyable time and I wouldn't mind going again!
