    Hello everyone!

    We are looking to get more information on opening a gaming room and have some questions.

    Gaming room/console questions:
    - If you have a gaming room, how often is it open to the public?
    - How long do you let people play with the consoles? Do they have to register to use the room or for an event?
    - Are guardians required to be in the room (or nearby) if minors are present?
    Minecraft vs Roblox questions:
    - Which do you prefer to use?
    - Do you have your own servers and accounts, or do users use their own accounts?
    - Do you pay for a subscription?
    - How long are users allowed to play?
    Feel free to email off list if you prefer. 
    Thanks!
