Sounds like Chuck E Cheeses will be Flashmobbed by cubers

With an animatronic band that plays on stage, how can we not?!

Realistically, we'd be only looking at probably a one-event limit per person.

 

[Bryan]

But I think it'd be cool to have multiple Chuck E Cheese competitions across the country on the same day.

YESSSSSSSS
ONE IN JACKSONVILLE TO. ONE IN EVERY C-CHEESE IN AMERICA.
IT'D BRING ALOT OF ATTENTION TO THE WORLD OF SPEEDCUBING. DO IT NOAW.
*calms down*

Well, considering they have some 500 locations, I doubt this would happen. We would still need experienced people to run the competition, and there would be a few CEC locations that may not get enough competitors since we probably wouldn't have the full range of events, so people would be less likely to travel further. For example, how many people do you think would show up at the Chuck E Cheese in Rapid City, SD?

Why you gotta burst meh happy bubble?

Because I like to live in the world of reality, and it's good to have company.

anyway, I have contacted Chuck E Cheese to see if they would be interested in this sort of thing. I'll let you know if I find out any more details. Please, DO NOT contact them. Having messages of "omg, this wud be awesum! i'd buy like $50 of pizza. youd make a bunch of $$$!" doesn't exactly help the cause.

As always, this is a big corporation, so this may or may not work out, but I'll let you know.

On that note, how about having it a 3x3 only competition? I don't really like the idea of having multiple events when you can only compete in one of them.

 

[Ranzha]

I say yes, by all means.
Also, have them across the nation. It'd be great.
Also, come up with a witty name like "CubingUSA Chuck E. Cheese Colossal Cube Collaboration Competition" or whatever you want.
I'd surely go to that.
We'd be influencing the children--the future of cubing.

Not that people aren't putting the cart before the horse, but how does it matter if you compete in 3x3 when given the choice of 3x3 and Square-1, or you compete in 3x3 when given the choice of just 3x3?

It just makes how you place in each event seem trivial to me.

SACRAMENTO!!

 

[Bryan]

Saturdays won't work, so it would probably have to be on a weekday evening, which might suck for some people who would've travel a bit to spend the day in the city and do a bit of cubesolving.

anyway, I have to see if a weekday night would work and if they would actually work with us, or if they would make us co-ordinate everything on our own (like figuring out how many people would come before we book, and trying to book multiple places on the same day...)

 

[Bryan]

Looks like they're not interested in working with us. They'll gladly allow us to book the multiple locations on our own, but you get into a scenario that when you book, you have to specify the number of people, and there's no guarantee you can change that. If you over estimate, you end up having to pay for no-shows, if you underestimate, people might not be able to attend. Pre-paying would be ideal, but you can't really have people pre-pay when you don't know which dates are available (which you can't find out until you book).

So anyway, it looks like it can be done on an individual basis if someone wanted to do some work, but you'd probably have to talk with the manger personally to see if they would allow cubing, and maybe work out some better deal.
