Facility: Sun Valley Lanes

Attractions We Provided: Lucky Putt, Laser Tag

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “Well, simply said, you don’t know what you don’t know. I knew enough to know that though, which is why I knew I needed some guidance and direction in my new venture. I spoke with several peers in the industry, several of which indicated that the Amusement 360 event would be a great event to get me started on the path of converting to an FEC. They were right. The information that I gained during the event helped me avoid pitfalls and “rookie mistakes”, as I launched my new FEC. I highly recommend attending, either as a newbie, or even as a refresher for industry veterans.”

Facility: 814 Lanes and Games

Attractions We Provided: Laser Tag, Escape Rooms, Hologate Arena

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “When we were thinking about expanding our FEC business on a larger scale we decided to attend the Amusement 360 event with Creative Works because we had met some of the team at IAAPA and really liked the products. When I attended the event I was able to network with other people who shared my excitement for our industry, vendors who were instrumental, and see more products that were key to our business model. We ended up working with most of the vendors we met at the event and have had great success so far. The education and relationships built at Amusement 360 have been a direct part of our success. “

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “I loved Amusement 360 so much and was thrilled to participate several years ago. I was blown away at the amount of leadership training and inspiration that I took away from Amusement 360. The Creative Works/Wow Effect team genuinely care about the family entertainment business and HOW we operate and HOW to give amazing guest service. The tours and vendors were a blast as always, but the sessions with the Creative Works team really gave me some tangible takeaways on how I can be a better leader for my company.”

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “Amazing event. Creative Works treats all their guests like VIPs. Truly the best combination of fun and information in the FEC Event space. Would recommend to anyone who wants to grow or start an FEC.”

Tommy Barberini

Facility: Oak Mountain Lanes

Attractions We Provided: Laser Tag, Hologate Arena

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “I wish we would have attended this event before we opened our bowling alley. The information provided was extremely eye opening, even after 13 years of being in the business. We would have definitely done some things differently had we attended this event before opening. I highly recommend this to anyone that is thinking about opening any type of entertainment center.”

Amusement 360 Testimonial: “We had just found our location, were working through the lease and decided to come to the Creative Works event. I had no idea of what to expect. After attending the event I quickly had a great understanding of how much additional space to request in the lease along with the whole host of key learning’s to make Laser Tag be successful for us. I see us coming again for the new information and another great tour of the Creative Works Theme Factory.”
