Review: Game Night in Riyadh

  • For those who enjoy video games, Game Night offers a selection of consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo with some of the latest gaming experiences

If you are searching for something fun to do on a weekend night in Riyadh, look no further than the Game Night, a vibrant venue for friends to get together to play board and card games.

What makes it more appealing is that it stays open until 4 a.m. on weekends, making it a perfect late-night hangout spot.

Game Night is designed to foster social interactions, encouraging players of all backgrounds to come together and connect. Whether you are a seasoned gamer or just curious, the atmosphere is welcoming, allowing even the shyest individuals to make new friends.

With a variety of games available, there is something for everyone, from strategy and trivia to classic board games. For those who enjoy video games, Game Night offers a selection of consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo with some of the latest gaming experiences.   

One of the highlights of Game Night is the complimentary pizza and tea available to guests. For those who enjoy coffee, there is a dedicated shop offering specialty brews to keep you energized during your gaming sessions. While the center operates throughout the week, it tends to be especially lively on weekends, so it is a great time to experience the buzz.

Game Night hosts several exciting events that add to its charm. Every Monday features a “Chef Night” where a grill is set up, and friends can enjoy delicious grilled food while engaging in their favorite games.

Saturdays are reserved for movie nights, complete with popcorn and a cozy cinema-like atmosphere.

In addition to these fun activities, the center offers programs such as Learn Baloot, which teaches the intricacies of this popular Saudi card game. There is also a Learn Chess program for those interested in mastering the classic strategy game, and these classes are perfect for beginners or experienced players looking to sharpen their skills.   

The staff at Game Night are always on hand to assist you in finding the perfect board game or to offer guidance if you are unsure of the rules. Their enthusiasm for gaming creates a warm and inviting environment.

Located in Al-Taawun District, ticket prices vary depending on the day, starting at SR39 ($10.40) and going up to SR75. The venue also offers corporate bookings with discounts for companies looking to organize team-building activities.   

Perched on the rooftop, Game Night offers a fantastic view and is an ideal place to relax, have fun, and make lasting friendships.
