Plus, kids can get their "trick-or-treat fix safely from three designated areas within the restaurant. Cast members will use tongs for a "touchless trick or treating" experience.

Safety is Our First Priority
For the Chuck E. Cheese locations that have re-opened, guests can expect enhanced health and safety protocols. These safety protocols include, but are not limited to:

• Temperature checks taken upon entrance and all guests asked to wear their masks
• A Kid Check® Selfie, which replaces the traditional hand stamp
• Hand sanitizing stations accessible throughout the play and dining areas
• All games are spaced out to local guidelines, or a minimum of 6 ft distance
• Team members sanitize all play and dining areas as well as restrooms continuously
• In-store contactless payments and online ordering available for carryout
• Installing upgraded hospital-grade air-filters at each of our open locations
• Limited capacity in each location; all entertainment is produced and hosted for the safest experience possible with all social distancing guidelines met

Additionally, to enhance guest safety and ensure a more touchless experience, the brand recently launched e-tickets, eliminating paper tickets and the Ticket Muncher.
