Main Event, the family entertainment chain, is facing an unusual predicament ahead of its grand opening in Woodbury, Minnesota, scheduled for August 3 at Tamarack Hills (540 Bielenberg Drive). A shipment of 10 bowling pins has gone missing, prompting the company to enlist the community's help in locating them. From July 19 through July 28, residents can visit Main Event's lost pins page for daily clues about where the pins are hidden throughout Woodbury.
Each recovered pin will earn the finder a VIP invite for five people and a full year of free games. Additionally, whoever finds the Golden Pin will win Main Event for life, meaning unlimited visits and perks. Michael Frisby, General Manager of the Woodbury Main Event, expressed excitement about bringing the experience to Minnesota but emphasized the need for community detective work to prepare the lanes. The pins must be found before the grand opening to ensure the bowling alleys are ready.
Main Event Woodbury will feature a range of activities including laser tag, bowling, arcade games, and virtual reality. Guests can also enjoy a full-service restaurant and bar with items like the Buffalo Ranch Chicken Sandwich, Funnel Cake Fries, and specialty drinks such as the Cotton Candy Shirley Temple and Margarita Flight. The venue aims to provide a high-energy space for families and friends to engage in interactive games and friendly competition.
