Multiple dedicated game studios will allow several groups to play simultaneously, ensuring a dynamic and efficient experience even during peak times.
First Georgia Location for the Brand
Great Big Game Show marks the brand’s debut in Georgia and further strengthens The Battery Atlanta’s growing reputation as a premier destination for unique and memorable entertainment experiences.

Grand Opening Celebration on May 8
To celebrate the launch, Great Big Game Show will host a special opening day party on Saturday, May 8, running from noon to 9 p.m.
