In a world controlled by screens and algorithms, we want to create a space where people can step away and interact face-to-face.
From finding the perfect new release for game night to hosting tournaments and other events, we help people create memorable offline fun, at home and in-store.
2017 - Rain City Games begins in downtown Vancouver, BC. Our 1,600 square foot store features all the nerd stuff you’d expect, with a modest playspace that could seat up to 20 (very cozy) people.
2019 - We open our second location in New Westminster, BC. The small 950 square foot store still has a wide range of offerings, particularly for kids and families.
2021 - We expand our flagship store to a whopping-for-downtown-Vancouver 2,200 square feet, doubling our playspace capacity to a comfortable 40 and adding something even more exciting: storage.
Today - You’ll find us with open doors and full event calendars throughout the year. Drop by and say hello!
