We would be interested in dartboard recommendations as well.

Also, Steve, can you tell me a little more about your puzzle table?

Thanks!

Eva

I’m wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations as it relates to adding a sleep pod to their student union? Also looking for any experience or recommendations with dart boards or other recreational items? We currently offer pool, table tennis, pinball, and recently added a puzzle table. We’re looking at different ideas to enhance our current recreational/game area, as well as promoting student wellness.

For our puzzle table, we took one of our lounge tables, moved it against a window, and set out a puzzle. We haven’t added any signage yet. I’ve seen students walk over and work on it for a bit. I’ve also watched some smaller groups of students move more chairs around the table and work on it together. We’d like to continue offering this and thinking about how we can expand it.?

We recently added table tennis to our Rec Room (bowling and billiard area) about 4 months ago and it has almost paid for itself. We also have chess boards and are looking to expand our arcade selection but are having trouble getting more from our distributor. So we are evaluating getting multigame cabinets or cocktail table setups with coin mechs.?

Our air hockey table gets heavy use and we have partnerships with our DDR and Super Smash Bros RSOs. The DDR group actually owns and maintains the machine that we have and we do a revenue split. The Smash Bros group holds a weekly event outside the Rec Room in our Food Court.?

We have a pool school and have just recently been able to get our bowling leagues re-established.

Our game room has added mahjong table, air hockey, and foosball.? We also have “Wii-kends” when we bring out wii games on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.? Also–bingo nights and scrabble tournaments have been fun.?

For naps–we have a room set aside with recliner/massage chairs and chaise lounge type furniture; It’s all in one open room, and students need to reserve, and check in at the front desk. It’s called the “nap nook”?

Good morning,

We created a Relaxation Corner last semester with a Metronap pod and it has been very successful. Students are using it and we hope to get a second one in the future. 

We also have a game room with typical games and no dart board.
