Maniac’s Mansion (TAG’s)

Amazing place it is living in my childhood all over again. Owners and so nice and friendly. Clean,organized and so much to see. Definitely a hidden gem in witcha falls tx. Extremely recommended

A nostalgic (esp for Gen X w/ the ole' skool games) gem of an arcade/cereal bar run by neat guy that is family-friendly (read: there will be lots of kids there) and very inclusive and charges a flat fee. We're some of the games out of order or in need of some TLC? Yes. Was that the case 40 years ago when I was playing then too? Also yes. LoL. Worth a visit.

An amazing arcade, basically the private collection of the owner who has enough stuff to rotate out the decorations every few months (I enjoy coming back frequently just to see the new stuff). The owner and his staff are jovial, friendly, and helpful. A solid selection of arcade games, a nearly complete selection of consoles, and some specialty tables means everyone will have a great time. They have drinks, vending machines, and of course the cereal bar.

What an absolutely amazing place. The owner is the nicest and friendliest. Huge assortment of old school video games. Great line of Pinball machines to play. Everywhere you look there is something to look at and makes you smile. This place is a gem in downtown wichita falls.

Awesome place with lots to see and play. Lots of old classical arcade games... Was too busy chasing me little ones around to be able to play much 🤣 Second visit a couple years later. Amazed at how many machines are in there. The pay one price makes it a much better deal than the usual arcades. It was a little warm in the building, but a lot of buildings are having trouble keeping cool when it gets over 100.

This place was outstanding!! We found this hidden gem by searching entertainment in Wichita Falls, TX!!! We live less than an hour away but decided to take a mini getaway for spring break! This was the highlight of our trip! The owner was super nice and so excited it was our first time being there! I never got the woman’s name that was working, but she was just as nice when we went for our round of cereal at the cereal bar!! The cereal bar was AMAZING! The games were AMAZING! We all had a blast! We went to the counter/cereal bar area four times(original buying wristbands, cereal break, drinks, and souvenirs of shirts and other miscellaneous items) and we were met with the same kindness, excitement, and just wholesome energy each time! My husband and I are already planning a visit without the kids so we can officially be kids ourselves 🤣 This is my first ever Google review! That’s how AMAZING, AWESOME, SPLENDID, REFRESHING, AND FUN this place is!! I just had to say something!!!

This place is a wonderful mix between old and new school nerds. What a delight it was to be able to play Sega/Nintendo/DDR while the kiddos played VR, Xbox 1, switch, etc. I was so happy being able to share my childhood with my kiddos while also trying to figure out their games. The owners of the shop are friendly, kind, and you can tell they have a real passion for what they do. The kids loved the cereal, it runs $8.50 for cereal and all play- which is a heck of a deal considering we stayed for 3+ hours. I absolutely delighted in the smiles and laughs of my kiddos. Will be coming again. ——— Update: we’ve come frequently over the last couple years. This continues to be a must stop when in town. The price has increased slightly to $9.50 for cereal and play, pinball machines are .50-$1.00. They’ve expanded a lot- taking over the old coffee shop. They’ve started to develop the storage area downstairs into board game play. This place is just simply enchanting. The staff is delightfully kind and they’ve upped their snacks and drink game.

Always a great time hanging at the mansion! The cereal selection process is so hard because there are that many great options. They do give samples ❤️ lots of gaming options for varying ages.

Place is an absolute dream for any person raised in the 80's. Seems like a dive from outside, but it has many games to play. Nice place to bring kids and make some core memories. Food is nothing to spectacular. They offer tons of cereal. You can bring pizza from outside. The ladies who work there are the nicest with lots of patience.

Spring break fun, with my teenager and seven-year-old friend. This face is full with nostalgic games, great place to have a party, so many different types of cereals. The owner Marcus is always super kind and accommodating. We only came here for about 2 1/2 hours, but we ended up staying up about five ha ha. You can play as many games as you would like for about $10 which is amazing in the economy that we have. Besides the pinball machines, you can't beat this price with a spoon. If you have not given a try already, please do so..

So glad this place is here! Love everything about it! Cereals, games, vibes, people, customer service, location, costs, all of it!

Love this place!! Many games from my childhood. Marcus is awesome!! If you have a question, he's always there with a smile! Also the cereal is amazing. Nothing like playing video games all day and getting to eat your choice of cereal! Also the book party's!

Maniac's Mansion is a superb area for large parties and events with plenty of activities for the old and young at heart with throwback games and board games for all to enjoy. Service was quite friendly.

One of my favorite weekend spots in downtown Wichita Falls! The owner Marcus is an awesome dude who is super enthusiastic of his arcade / cereal bar. Yup, a cereal bar! From classic boxes to limited editions, this place has something for everyone. You can mix different cereals in the same bowl, sample some lesser-available types, and control your preferred milk level. If you're in the area and have a few bucks to spend and a few hours to burn on video games and board games from new to old, modern to vintage, exciting to nostalgic, you gotta stop by.

Old school acrade with a modern twist. If your young they have games for you and if your older you can be transported back to your younger years with the games they have for you. This place has a great nerd vibe that can seen through all the collectibles in the arcade. From anime to superhero to the classics; I'm sure you find something you'd enjoy looking at. There's old-school drinks and cereal to enjoy. It's fun for the family, couples, or even friends.

Awesome place, incredible selection of cereal, and a DDR machine what more can you ask?!

Such a great place to hang out for a few hours. We had 3 generations of "kids" there. Had a great time. Even the "big" kids ate multiple bowls of cereal. We will keep this on our rotation when the grand kids visit.

What a fun stop! We stumbled upon this place by accident, but so glad we did. They have every arcade game you can remember as a kid, tons of memorabilia, board games and an awesome snack bar! It transports you right back to the 80s/90s arcades! Highly recommend stopping in

4.5 stars-- I was here when they transitioned from the karaoke stage to TAG's interpretation of an 80s video arcade with a vintage cereal bar. I didn't see much use from the karaoke stage but this repurposed space is a popular hit from me and my friends. The cereal bar is a clever twist and Tag is well versed in cereology. Yes the prices are a bit high but after searching in vain for my own "connect", the extra cost is worth it. The video games are a throwback to a golden era and Tag has artfully chosen a selection of classic, vintage, and modern games to peruse. A few games (~3) were non-functional. I have to add a separate entry for the decor. This is a slam dunk! The vintage posters, props, and cereal collections combine to create an ambiance that makes this place super chill and a great place to relax. Here is the negative side. Due to the popularity and staffing, the hours are a bit nonstandard. Also, the private reservations tend to cause an unpleasant surprise on the weekend. I understand he is still adjusting the hours and flow based on demand so some growing pains are expected. I would suggest the addition of staff and more organized hours. Yes, it's a tricky balance due to the cyclical and unpredictable flow of customers. However, in time I hope to see more balanced operating hours and reserved days for parties instead of on the normal weekend operating hours. All in all, a job well done!

We loved Maniacs mansion, it's such a neat concept for a place to hang out! While were there it was right after a kids birthday so there were a ton of kids but still room to play games. They have board games as well! I'm not really into video games and had a blast while I was there. The cereal bar is a fun addition that makes this place even more unique!

Such a nostalgic fun place to go for the family! It's a place you can take your kids and enjoy your time playing old school games while they do the same! The cereal bar is definitely recommended as they have new and old flavors or cereal. It's a lot of fun! It was fitting because they also had older drinks and drinks you can't find in this country very often as well as milk substitutes for those who are lactose intolerant. It was great fun and the staff was extremely helpful!

This is my favorite place in Wichita Falls. I can spend hours here. There's games for everyone: arcade games, console, and board games. The decorations are awesome, references are everywhere! There's snacks to purchase, not to mention all the cereal. The owner is very friendly. He mixed up a bunch of cereals for me when I asked for a recommendation. I highly recommend coming here!

This spot is so fun and the arcade games are off the chart! The cereal is delicious and such a great idea. I recommend this spot for all ages and all people! Favorite arcade game for me was absolutely NBA JAM and Intial D racing game

Always a fun time!! The town's best DJ, Marcus McGee and his wife Thuy have truly created one of my favorite hang out spots downtown!! The kids love it too

I went here with my 13 year old son. We had a blast! He didn't recognize many of the games but I sure enjoyed beating him in Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Centipede... all of the greats! I wish y'all the best!

This place is very cool and has tons of awesome memorabilia, figures, toys, and posters. Some of it very throw back to the 90s, like an old Nickelodeon alarm clock I had as a kid also a framed model of Lucille ( Negans bat from the walking dead). The place started to fill up with ppl and kids for a cold wet day that didn't have lots of ppl out
