Super cool and cozy place. I love the homely concept too. Nice and welcoming staff/family. Learnt two new games and had fun while at it. So much games you’ll have to come back again and again. 👍🏽

Really great atmosphere with plenty of fun games. Neat hidden gems throughout and comfy seating. Very fair price for the selection available and considering that they stay open later than the posted hours a lot of the time. Only reason why I knock one star off is because of my most recent visit. A couple of people from the group I went with were exploring the escape rooms because the doors were open and they hadn’t seen them before. A couple of them had found some hidden goodies in the bathroom and they were invested in finding more around the shop. I happened to walk in on them pulling up a trap door type contraption when one of the attendants came in and started yelling at us. It made me super uncomfortable because 1. I had no involvement in them doing that 2. It was just innocent curiosity that led them there. Eventually he calmed down and apologized for the confusion but it was really off putting. Every other time I’ve come here it’s usually the owners working and they are the kindest, most patient people I’ve met. I’m just chalking it up to an off day for the guy but definitely should put some signage up or just close the doors if exploring those rooms is off limits.

Love the atmosphere, space, and board/ card game options! The staff are great and so accepting of all. We've been here several times and had zero complaints or concerns.

Highly recommend if you want to play a board game and have a snack. Being your own game or play theirs. Many tables available with almost every board/ card game you can think of.

My favorite place in Riverside! It's such a beautiful community hub and the owners are so sweet. They give you amazing recommendations and teach you how to play the games. They also undercharge like crazy. If you are LGBT, I especially recommend this supportive, friendly, and inclusive space.

Underrated board game hangout in Riverside. Massive variety of games to try out and learn. If I had more time to go more regularly, I'd probably get the membership/month pass. There are lots of little things to discover in a cozy, whimsical, fantasy atmosphere.

I had a wonderful time at Nevermore for my birthday! Signed up for one of the puzzle escapes and time to play games after. The hosts were most friendly and inviting and the challenge was a nice level for newcomers (we were successful!). We stayed and played a few games after. Had a blast! Will definitely be visiting again soon and recommend this for any board game lovers!

Very welcoming. Staff some how managed to teach my wife and I 2 games all while attending customers and doing tours. I’ve never felt more at home and surrounded by like minded people in a gaming community. Thank you for creating a space in which to play.

Quite possibly my favorite place in Riverside. There are so many games to choose from, the owners are the nicest people, and I went in with a friend for one of the one-shot nights and had a blast. It's great every time 🙂
