To celebrate the grand opening, the venue is hosting a Find the Flag event, where residents can find Dave & Busters-themed flags hidden around the city. Finding a flag entitles the winner to a gift card, VIP invitation with five guests and more prizes. Two of the five flags have been found as of publication. More details about how to participate are on the Dave & Buster’s website.

Hiring is also ongoing as of publication. Interested applicants can apply to available positions on the Dave & Buster’s career website.
