Kid Check® at Chuck E. Cheese
Our Kid Check® program requires your cooperation and participation and is intended to help you make sure that everybody who comes together, leaves together! Here’s how it works. You will be required to wait to be checked in or out at the Kid Check station, You and your child should each receive an invisible, matching stamp (or other identifier) upon entry, and when you leave, you’ll show that same stamp to our Kid Check attendant.
It’s very important to remember, however, that neither our Kid Check program nor camera systems are a substitute for adult supervision. Parents or guardians must attend to and supervise their children while visiting Chuck E. Cheese.
How It Works
How Does the Kid Check® System Work?
A simple, foolproof process — every visit, every location.
-
Entry Stamp
Every adult and child in your group is stamped at the Kid Check station at the store entrance.
-
UV-Reactive Ink
Invisible in normal light. Applied to the upper arm — it won’t wash off during play.
-
Unique Number
Each group gets a unique number. Every party entering that day gets a different one.
-
Exit Verification
Staff verifies all stamps under a blacklight flashlight before anyone leaves.
-
No Match, No Exit
If stamps don’t match, a manager is called immediately.
Infants and non-stampable guests receive a sticker/paper Kid Check slip at entry — required for exit.
