Two Bit Circus is doubling down on its social gaming community with the addition of new events and esports gatherings for its fall season.

The entertainment venue opened as a “micro-amusement park” and a kind of modern virtual reality arcade last year in downtown Los Angeles. Brent Bushnell, CEO of Two Bit Circus, is the son Atari cofounder Nolan Bushnell. Bushnell and his co-creators built the place as an ode to the circus of years past, only with modern games. And now they’re adding both electronic and non-electronic programming to the mix.
