Play Points Revolutionize Chuck E. Cheese Rewards: Tokens Are History

Chuck E. Cheese has replaced tokens with Play Points, which can be purchased and loaded onto a Play Pass card or Play Band. This new system allows for a more touchless and streamlined experience, as guests can simply tap their Play Pass to play games. The Play Pass is also reusable, and Play Points do not expire, providing added convenience and flexibility for visitors. The number of Play Points required to play each game is displayed on the card reader, and these points can be used to earn E-Tickets, which can be redeemed for prizes. This new system is part of Chuck E. Cheese's efforts to enhance the gaming experience and make it newer and more exciting for their guests.

Play Pass cards and bands

Chuck E. Cheese's Play Pass® and Play Bands offer a more touchless and convenient experience for customers. The Play Pass is a card with a radio frequency identification chip that can activate selected games inside Chuck E. Cheese. The Play Bands work just like the Play Pass cards, but you wear them on your wrist. They are lightweight, reusable, and easily reloadable with time or points.

Play Points and time can be purchased in tiers, ranging from as little as 30 to up to 120 (although ranges may be higher at some locations). Play Points allow kids to play at their own pace, activating each game by tapping the Play Pass card or band. Points can be saved for another visit and do not expire. Minutes, on the other hand, allow kids to play as many games as they want within a certain amount of time, regardless of the number of points needed. Time can be paused once during the visit by tapping the card at any All You Can Play kiosk. However, minutes do not roll over from visit to visit and expire at the end of the day purchased.

The tickets won by playing games will automatically be added to the Play Pass card or band as E-Tickets, which can be redeemed at the Prize Store. E-Tickets can be carried over from visit to visit as long as the same card is used.

Play Points and time

Play Points offer a more flexible option, allowing kids to play at their own pace. Each game is activated by a certain number of Play Points, which are deducted from the Play Pass card or band. Play Points can be saved and do not expire, making them a cost-effective option for families who visit Chuck E. Cheese occasionally. The Fun Pass, for instance, offers a set number of Play Points per day, which vary according to the pass level: Bronze (40 games), Silver (100 games), or Gold (250 games). Play Points can also be added to the Play Pass at a kiosk or cash register, with tiers ranging from 30 to 120 Points.

On the other hand, time-based purchases allow kids to play as many games as they want within a specified time frame, regardless of the number of points needed for each game. This option suits families who want to make the most of their time at Chuck E. Cheese and play as many games as possible. Time-based purchases can be paused once during the visit, providing flexibility for breaks. However, it is important to note that time does not roll over, and any unused time expires at the end of the day.

Both Play Points and time-based purchases have their advantages, catering to different customer preferences and needs. Play Points offer flexibility and cost savings, while time-based purchases provide unlimited gameplay within a set time frame. Ultimately, the choice between Play Points and time depends on the customer's desired gameplay experience and visit frequency.

Purchasing Play Pass

Chuck E. Cheese's Play Pass is a card with a radio frequency identification chip that activates selected games inside the venue. Each game requires a specified number of Play Points or time remaining on the Play Pass to play. The Play Points required to play each game will be displayed on the card reader located on each game.

Play Pass cards can be purchased in three ways: at a Play Pass Kiosk, at the Cashier Register, or as part of a Reserved Birthday Party package. The activation fee for each Play Pass card is $2.00. Play Pass bands are also available and work in the same way as the cards, but are worn on the wrist.

When purchasing a Play Pass, customers have the option of selecting All You Can Play, which allows them to purchase a certain amount of time during which the Play Pass can activate any game. Customers can pause their play once to eat or take a restroom break and then resume play at the kiosk. All You Can Play time is only valid for the date of purchase and will expire at the end of that day.

Play Points can be added to Play Pass cards or bands at a kiosk or cash register by paying with cash or credit/debit cards. Chuck E. Cheese tokens cannot be used to add Play Points or time to Play Pass cards.

The Fun Pass is a separate subscription program offered by Chuck E. Cheese, which provides unlimited visits, daily gameplay, exclusive discounts, and surprise offers. The Fun Pass is available in three tiers: Bronze, Silver, and Gold, each offering different benefits. The subscriptions can be purchased as a recurring monthly charge or a single, higher payment for a two-month, non-recurring membership.

Adding Play Points or time

Play Points are a great option if you want to play at your own pace. Each game has a certain number of points required to play, and these points are deducted from your card when you tap to play. You can even save your points for another visit! Minutes, on the other hand, allow kids to play as many games as they want within a set time frame, regardless of the points needed. Minutes can be paused once per visit and do not roll over to the next day.

Play Bands are also available and work just like Play Pass Cards, but you wear them on your wrist for added convenience. After the initial purchase, you can continue to add Play Points or time to your Play Band.

Coin action games

Chuck E. Cheese has introduced a new, token-less game play feature called Play Pass. This system uses a card with a radio frequency identification chip to activate games. Each game requires a specified number of Play Points or time remaining on the Play Pass to play. Play Points can be purchased in tiers, ranging from 30 to 120 Points. These points do not expire and are stored on the Play Pass.

Play Passes can be purchased in three ways: at a Play Pass Kiosk, at the Cashier Register using a credit card, Chuck E. Cheese gift card, or cash, or as part of a Reserved Birthday Party package. There is a $2 activation fee for each Play Pass card.
