Two Bit Circus will feature arcade games, ‘story rooms’, gaming lounges, robot bartenders and carnival-style experiences.

Two Bit Circus, a ‘micro-amusement park’ in Los Angeles, is opening its second location in Dallas, Texas in fall 2022. The attraction will offer 35,000 square feet of technology-driven entertainment.

The new venue at the Shops at Park Lane will feature custom-designed arcade games, as well as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (VR) and ‘extended reality’ experiences (via Dallas Innovates).

Two Bit Circus in Dallas will also be home to ‘story rooms’, similar to escape rooms, cabanas with private gaming lounges, robot bartenders and carnival-style experiences.

“We’ve always known that the Dallas community is the perfect audience for our next location,” said Two Bit Circus chairman Brent Bushnell.

“When we discovered Two Bit Circus in downtown LA three years ago, it was the most dynamic, proprietary entertainment concept we had seen,” added Ward Kampf, president of Northwood Retail, owner of the Shops at Park Lane.

Gaming, AR, and VR are the future; there are three billion gamers worldwide, and growth in the sector is exceptional,” Kampf said. “Beyond that, there is a real need for human connection and social diversion.”

“Two Bit Circus answers what our demographic is calling for, and we’re excited to bring this revolutionary concept to the heart of Dallas,” he added.

Two Bit Circus is the brainchild of engineers, inventors and roboticists Eric Gradman and Brent Bushnell. Gradman previously spoke to blooloop about the company’s plans and future developments.

“It should be no surprise that Two Bit Circus intends to open up more locations,” he said.

“Our facility could drop into any number of malls or retail spaces all around the country, and all around the world. We are proud of that.”
