Main Event, the family entertainment center, is set to open its first Minnesota location at Tamarack Hills in Woodbury on August 3, but the team faces an unusual problem: 10 bowling pins have gone missing. The shipment never arrived, and with opening day approaching, the company is enlisting the community to help locate the pins in a citywide scavenger hunt.
Starting July 19 through July 28, residents can visit Main Event's lost pins page for daily clues about where the pins are hidden. Each recovered pin unlocks a VIP invite for five people and a full year of free games. The person who finds the Golden Pin will win Main Event for life, according to a press release.
“We are so excited to bring the Main Event experience to Minnesota, but we need the community’s detective skills to help us get our lanes ready for action,” said Michael Frisby, General Manager of the Woodbury Main Event. “We’ve hidden these pins throughout Woodbury, and we can’t wait to see who can track them down and claim their prize before our grand opening on August 3!”
The new venue, located at 540 Bielenberg Drive, will offer a range of activities including laser tag, bowling, arcade games, and virtual reality. Guests can also enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar with items like the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, Funnel Cake Fries, and drinks such as the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple and Margarita Flight.
Main Event operates more than 60 locations in 23 states and is owned by Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc. The company aims to provide a high-energy space for families and friends to interact, compete, and dine.
