3. Our gloved & masked attendant will provide contactless game delivery!

There is no cost to participate. All you have to do is visit us!

“We want to keep this simple, safe, and fun. So show up to Well Played next Wednesday, and I’ll meet you out front with a board game to help get you through quarantine,” said Kevan Frazier, co-owner of Well Played. “While we can’t shift our operations to produce hand sanitizer, masks or other critical medical supplies, that doesn’t mean we can’t do our part to help. We hope everyone enjoys these games and finds time to play and connect with their loved ones.”

FAQ’s
Is there a cost?
Nope, it’s free! Just show up while supplies last!

What kind of games are they?
The good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright weird. They’re all lightly used, but very playable!

What game will you get?
No one knows! That’s why it’s a mystery!

Can you donate lightly used games?
Sure thing, feel free to drop them off during this time period! If there’s enough interest, we’ll get them sanitized and host another giveaway! If not, we’ll make sure they find a good home.

You’re not going out of business are you?
No! We’re just in the business of having a bunch of games 😂 We have extra games that are either starting to show their age or can’t fit in our library, and we wanted to pay it forward at a time when people would appreciate it!
