Round One: A Unique Arcade

By Lexin Granlund

Round One is special because it’s not just an arcade. There are many things to do here including a plethora of arcade games, photo booths, a place to eat inside
the arcade, bowling, pool, and karaoke.

When you first walk in, you wouldn’t know that they have all this stuff because there are specific
areas for each activity. You are immediately met with the sound of arcade games buzzing and
ringing, and seeing the flash of lights each of these games gives off. Each is a different color. A
flash of blue, yellow, orange, red, purple, etc. You hear ski balls being thrown and
basketballs hitting the rim of their respective arcade games. The further back you walk, pins are falling in the bowling alley. I was drawn to the smell of chicken tenders
and French fries from the concession stand inside the arcade. The further you walk,
the more excited you become. This is because you begin to see all the options.

I spent about $40 and had about an hour of play time between my friend and me,
sharing a game card. Each activity has its own price: bowling is $12 per game, including
shoes, and pool is $8 per game. BE precise check it out on the website!

Round One has something for everyone. If you want to play arcade games, they have
a variety of racing, shooting, fighting, sports, and reaction games. If you are feeling lucky, there
are also games such as coin droppers, spinning wheels, and claw machines. If that doesn’t
interest you, then you and a couple of friends can still stop by to play pool, bowl, or do karaoke.

The location is also perfect, along with the hours. Round One is open from 10:00 am to 2:00 am
every day. Round One is also inside the Towson Town Mall. So, you can even look around the
mall after your time at Round One.

Round One is a pretty accessible place to get to; an easy walk from the Towson University campus.
