ImageWarezabouts is a family oriented facility. We encourage parents to stay with their children but we also feel that we have put measures in place where parents can feel safe leaving their children alone. There, of course, is a limit to the age we recommend leaving your child unattended, please feel free to call and ask any questions you may have.

There are some games that Warezabouts LLC offer to our customers that have a rating of "Teen" or "Mature" by the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) . In order for your child to play these games a Parental Consent Form must be filled out before they can play. You can download these forms below and bring them to the facility, or fill them out on location.

We encourage all parents to visit the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) to learn more about the content of the games thier children are playing. Although the ESRB is the governing body of video game ratings, PBS has a really good section dedicated to video games.
