Frequently Asked Questions
About Group Events
What is a Chuck E. Cheese Group Event?

How is a Group Event different from a birthday party?
Group Events are intended for children’s sports teams, summer camps, school field trips, youth groups, and other organizations, offering a different experience than Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Parties. Birthday Parties are designed for individual celebrations and are offered in 3 different packages with an all-inclusive experience for Guests, exclusive items for the Birthday Star, and event décor.
*Group Event pricing only applicable to children’s sports team and non-profit organization events, and is not available for, nor applicable to, Birthday Parties. Reserving a Group Event cannot be used for Birthday Parties. By submitting a Group Event reservation, you acknowledge, agree and accept that if we determine in our reasonable discretion that you scheduled a Group Event to hold a Birthday Party, the per child pricing will be increased to the lowest Birthday Party package pricing per child, and you agree to pay for the event at that adjusted pricing.
How is a Group Event different from a Fundraiser event?
A Group Event is specifically tailored for groups to experience 2 hours of entertainment for team building, comradery, and fun. The organization pays for the Group Event on one check. A Chuck E. Cheese Fundraiser, on the other hand, is an organized event where families come and go from 3 – 9 p.m., order on individual checks, and Chuck E. Cheese donates 20% of event check sales back to the organization. Fundraisers are marketed by the organization to its members. Group events may be booked at www.chuckecheese.com/events/group-events. Fundraisers may be booked at https://www.chuckecheese.com/events/fundraisers.

Games, E-Tickets, and Prizes
Why can’t kids redeem prizes at the prize counter during the event?
In order for Groups get the best Chuck E. Cheese experience with the most play time, we replace redemption of prizes at the prize counter with grab bags. This cuts out time wasted in line (with large events this can be up to an hour of play time), provides kids with the prizes they love, and kids still get to redeem the E-Tickets that they earned at the Group Event at the prize counter on a future visit.
What happens to the E-Tickets kids earn?
E-Tickets remain on the child’s Play Pass card. They may return any time in the future to redeem or can earn more when they use that same Play Pass card on future visits, for large prizes.
Do kids earn tickets when they play games?
Yes! At Chuck E. Cheese kids always win. During Group Events, each game issues E-Tickets to the child’s Play Pass card to be redeemed at the prize counter on a future visit.
How do kids redeem the eTickets that they earned?
Kids are encouraged to keep their Play Pass cards and bring them back to Chuck E. Cheese during their next visit, at which time they can use the same card and keep racking up E-Tickets for fun prizes.
