National Video Game Day falls on Saturday, September 12, and Boise’s Dave & Buster’s is turning the holiday into a family‑friendly celebration. The arcade‑restaurant chain is offering free unlimited game play to the first 200 visitors who arrive before noon and can prove, with a government‑issued ID, that their first or last name matches one of the following: Dave, Davy, David, Ann, Ana, Anna, Anne, Annie, or Buster.
How to qualify
To take advantage of the promotion, you must be among the first two hundred guests to check in before 12 p.m. at the Boise location, 546 N. Milwaukee St. Bring a valid driver’s license, state ID or passport that clearly shows the qualifying name.
