About the Business

So how did a game that uses unequal parts of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars come to Chicago? It is a story of intrigue and blind, reckless determination. Unlike some unpublished reports, it didn't begin with a blindfold, a map, and a dart. But it did begin with a question. Where in the world are a bunch of people in need of fun but unable to go outside several months a year? The answer...Lombard, Illinois. In 1993, Sam Elias, our founder, moved from Florida to Chicago to bring the people what they always wanted: 4,000 square feet to bump cars, cross check, slam dunk, and embarrass themselves without getting arrested. And as it happened...this was an extremely good idea. People needed a release from the nine to five and from Tuesday night bowling. In fact, the desire was even greater than Sam expected. So here we are with 5 locations spanning three states and growing.

Established in 2017.
