A local charity is opening a brand new store for people with a passion for gaming in Milton Keynes.
The Hangout is opening this Friday at Xscape in Milton Keynes.
The store features 10 retro arcade gaming machines with over 3,000 games to choose from.
Each machine will have 10-15 games at any one time and will change frequently to give visitors more reasons to return again and again.
The store also has a range of retro consoles and games plus hi-tech electronic darts.
There will also be a private room for hire with a 97-inch screen, ideal for birthday parties and events.
A huge selection of board games will be also available to play and enjoy the café which will have a range of snacks and drinks for customers to enjoy during their visit.
Gamer passes are available to purchase giving players two hours of fun; Electronic Gamer Pass £10, Board Gamer Pass £5 and the Ultimate Gamer Pass £15.
Nick Coppock, Xscape Milton Keynes General Manager, commented:“This is a brand-new concept store for Willen Hospice, and we are very excited to be working with the Willen team to make this a reality. We hope our customers will be very generous donating their gaming items and enjoy being able to experience a fun gaming ‘Hangout’ whilst raising funds for such an important cause.”
Mark Rawlins, Willen Hospice Associate Director of Commercial, adds, “We are thrilled to be working with Xscape to bring an innovative fundraising concept to our local community, helping to generate additional income, so we can continue to provide support and care for our patients and their families at a really difficult time of their lives.”
Xscape customers can get involved by donating pre-loved gaming items such as consoles, controllers, games, board games and more for people to buy, with the money going to straight to Willen Hospice.
