Smash Heaven - El Cajon, California

Do you want to experience the ultimate gaming paradise? Look no further than SmashxHeaven in Parkway Plaza Mall! This place is an absolute blast for gamers of all ages and levels.

First off, the location is super convenient; it's right next to the food court and just to the left of Spencer’s. They're open every day from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., so you can come in anytime for your gaming fix.

The best part? You get to play everyone all day with their automated 1v1 matchmaking software for just $9! Tax included! No more worrying about lag or connection issues like you would online. They have 12 stations all running Smash Bros Ultimate, each with all DLC characters and official Nintendo GameCube adapters. And if you're feeling extra competitive, they run up to five tournaments each day. Win first place, and your next visit is free!

But that's not all—they have an exclusive For-Fun Area with over 3 8-player Smash stations running on projector screens over 150 inches long! With items on and all stages at random, it's the ultimate Smash experience. And if you need a break from all the Smash, they have a variety of other games like Mario Party, Mario Kart, Daytona USA, Dirt 5, Gran Turismo 7 (PS5), Mario Strikers, Rocket League, Minecraft, Fall Guys, Apex, Fortnite, and more.

And let's not forget about their weekly charity stream on Twitch! Every Saturday, 100% of donations go to St. Jude's Cancer Research. It's a great way to have fun and give back to the community.

The staff is super friendly and helpful, making sure you have a great time. And if you're looking to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday, they allow for 3 hours of fun. The only downside is that you don't have the place exclusively for your party, but that's a small price to pay for all the fun you'll have.

Overall, SmashxHeaven is an amazing place to have fun with friends and family. It's much more affordable compared to a gaming truck for a birthday event, and the experience is way better. I highly recommend it!

My teenage sons absolutely love this place!! They could be here for hours on end if I could stand being there all day missing meals and etc lol. I love that it has all the old and new game consoles so even as a 80s kid I can still have fun 🥴🥴 I also love they give them wristbands for re-entry when needing to grab a bite or going to the restroom. The staff are super friendly and it’s a safe environment. I would definitely recommend.

Just had my nephew’s birthday here. If you or your kiddos are gamers this is the place to be! Can’t forget to mention the employee Jasmin is the best! Made the party planning a breeze and she was great with helping the little ones when needed. Check them out! The kids had a blast and it was stress free for us adults. Where could u go wrong?! 😊

Came here during one of the smash tournaments, the owners are very inviting and friendly! There is a wide array of games that can be played, I tried out DDR and Smash 64. Overall very fun and worth the price. 🙂
