Electric Shuffle Chicago opened on May 2nd in the River North neighborhood of downtown Chicago. This 7,000-square-foot venue merges immersive gaming with hospitality-forward experiences that are ideal for corporate outings, client-facing events, team-building, and all kinds of celebrations. Known for reimagining the classic game of shuffleboard, Electric Shuffle brings a contemporary, tech-enhanced spin to group entertainment, complete with award-winning interior design, high-energy gameplay, and full-service hospitality. The brand, which originated in the UK and now has locations in NYC, Dallas, Austin, and London, offers a uniquely social environment that blends competition, innovation, and stylish design to create an unforgettable event experience.
At the center of the venue are 11 custom-designed shuffleboard tables, powered by cutting-edge camera vision technology developed by a rocket scientist – yes, a rocket scientist! This system tracks every puck, keeps score, and facilitates a variety of interactive games that allow up to 15 players per table to compete in real time. Whether your group is looking to spark some friendly rivalry or break the ice at a networking mixer, Electric Shuffle offers a fun alternative to traditional event venues in Chicago.
