Good Game Cafe May Come to the Boston Area

It looks like a "virtual reality" gaming cafe could be on its way to the Boston area later this year if things go as planned.

The Boston Business Journal is reporting that East Boston resident Nick Lee is planning to open a place called Good Game Cafe, with an Indiegogo fundraising page saying that the spot would feature virtual reality games as well as food, drink, and events. A location has not been set for the proposed cafe, though the fundraising page mentions possible spots being Kenmore Square, Allston, the Back Bay, and Cambridge. Lee is hoping to raise $50,000 through Indiegogo and Kickstarter campaigns, with the money being used to purchase equipment and get a space that is preferably near a university.

Good Game Cafe could be opening around Halloween, though it may be as late as New Year's, according to the BBJ.
