ONLINE EVENT BOOK IN MAZEVO

When you visit Mazevo you will start at the Main Menu. To see what gaming activities or spaces are available at specific times select the Event Book. Choose HUB Games as the “Building” and then date you are interested in. Then browse the Event Book to see options for your reservation request. When you are ready to book select “Add New Request” from the Mazevo Main Menu.

Many events reserve different activities at different times. For example, renting 4 lanes from 1-2pm, the Console Arcade from 2-3pm and the Party Room from 3-4pm. This is often done for small events/parties to keep the guests together while getting the most affordable event from HUB Games that also allows guests time to enjoy all the activities.

Reserving multiple activites at different times is possible using the Mazevo reservation system. Log into Mazevo and make a reservation for your first activity (for the time block you want). After you “Submit” your reservation Mazevo will show your list of events in Mazevo. Click on the title of the event you just created. A new option will appear allowing you to “Change Event.”  Select “Change Event” and then choose “Add Bookings to My Event” from the dropdown menu. You will then be able to add a new gaming activity to the event for the 2nd time block you desire. Repeat as necessary.

Chaperone assignments:

Please assign volunteers to the various activities to help us protect your guests and the facility.

When Bowling:

At a minimum, Chaperones should be placed on each set of 6 lanes.

Pay attention to the graphics on the monitors after each ball is thrown – if it says “STOP”, please stop and wait. It will do this at the end of a game to automatically reset pins, so we don’t want you rolling the ball when the machine is still cycling.

Only the person whose turn it is to bowl should be on the approach. While waiting for your turn stay in or behind the seating area.

The person on the lane to your right has the right-of-way so please let them go first.  Alternating turns helps prevent problems with the bowling balls getting stuck, so please don’t roll the ball until your neighbors’ ball has hit the pins.

If you have any problem at all – scoring, balls not returning, trying to stop/reset a game, etc. – Please get a staff member.  Do not attempt to fix any lane problems yourself.  They are very dangerous.

No one should be bowling in just socks.  No bowlers should be going beyond the foul line for any reason.

Please make sure no children roll their bowling ball while the rake (pin sweeper) is down.

Pool:

Please no sitting or climbing on the tables.  One foot must stay on the floor for a shot to be legal.

Please do NOT place any food or beverages on the pool tables or the rails os the pool tables.

Table Tennis:

Please do not attempt any smash shots to protect those around you.

 Video Gaming:

Be courteous of those on either side of you and ask for assistance with any system issues.

Restrooms:

Restrooms are located down the hall near the drinking fountain.  Restrooms are always open to the general public, even during private events.  Event hosts are responsible for their guests’ safety, so bathroom use planning is highly recommended for events with minors.

The Foyer:

We try to prevents guests from entering the foyer if you have reserved the entire place (Quad).  Please feel free to assign chaperones to the entrances if this is especially important for your event.

Sunday Reservations:

Since the building is closed all customers/visitors must remain on the Basement level except when exiting the building.  Please ensure your guests proceed directly to the southwest building exit after your event.

Have fun and ask for assistance whenever necessary!
