Remote Events

We can provide gaming experiences for your gamer and their friends. For each 2 hour event, we focus on making sure children are working together on team oriented games and foster an enjoyable party that isn’t quite as good as in person, but gets pretty close. Our remote events are $30 per attendee with a 4 person minimum.

No console, no video games? No problem! We use modern game streaming technology to make our games playable on most common platforms such as a laptop, a tablet or a phone. This means we can get your guests set up quickly when the party begins. It also means your guest will be shown as well, the best tools to use when staying in touch with friends. We provide setup for attendees 30 mins before the event to help everyone get set up before the gaming begins.

Want to book an event? Email events@metrogamelab.com with your name, contact info, desired date, number of attendees and any other details you feel we need. We’ll be in touch right away to set up a free initial consultation.
