PLAY // DEPLOYMENT ACCESS
Walk in during Public Play and join whoever is already on the battlefield, or request a Private Deployment built completely around your group. Every mission is 15 minutes of game time from start to finish; suit-up and briefing time are separate.
PUBLIC PLAY // JOIN THE COMMUNITY
Public Play is exactly what it sounds like: AREA 54 is open to the public and you join the action with whoever else is here. Come alone, bring a friend, bring your family, or bring your own squad. You do not need to reserve the entire arena.
Every standard game is 15 minutes of battlefield time from start to finish. That does not include the initial time required to get suited up, briefed and entered into the system. Once everyone is geared and ready, additional games move much faster.
Our goal is not to rush you through a turn. We want each mission to feel like a live-action video game, with your Operator identity and stats continuing from one deployment to the next.
Public All You Can Play lasts from open to close on the day purchased. Play as much as you want, take a break, leave AREA 54 and come back later the same day. Your pass remains active for that day's Public Play window.
After Hours Happy Hours: 9–11 PM for $15 per person. All You Can Play, no group discounts. Reserve your 9 PM spot below.
Public and Private groups are welcome to bring outside food and beverages. You can also refuel at ET's Eats & Treats for refreshments and rolled ice cream that is out of this world.
ET'S AVAILABILITY: ET's Eats & Treats is available during Public Play, Private Appointments, and future orders specifically approved by AREA 54.

PRIVATE PLAY // YOUR GROUP. YOUR BATTLEFIELD.
Exclusive Private Play is available outside Public Play hours by appointment, with at least 4 players, at least 2 games and at least 4 hours notice. Groups during open hours share the arena unless AREA 54 separately confirms an exception.
Your group receives one hour of reserved AREA 54 time and/or up to 2 games. A standard game is 15 minutes, but the appointment runs on your schedule. If delays or decorating reduce available battlefield time, we can shorten game timers when practical—or the group may forfeit a game that no longer fits inside the reserved hour.
Your group receives two hours of reserved time and up to 4 games. Just like the 1-hour package, we work within your timeline and can adjust formats or game lengths when it helps keep the experience moving.
Your group gets up to 3 hours of private All You Can Play. Play as many missions as you can fit into the window, with whatever time limits or formats you want us to build. This is the most customizable version of AREA 54.
Private groups may arrive early to decorate however they wish. Bring outside food and beverages, or use ET's Eats & Treats for refreshments and rolled ice cream.
Add a 15-minute game to a 1-hour or 2-hour private package for $50 per game for the group, regardless of player count. Extra games require staff approval, enough time, and no conflict with the next scheduled party.
