Chuck E. Cheese has launched an online version of the Skeeball game popular in its restaurants.
Hosted in an area off of its main site (chuckecheese.com/chuck-e-games), the game lets kids and
parents play to win up to 40 freee tickets for "cool prizes" on their next visit to one of the restaurants by virtually rolling nine balls up a ramp. After rolling all the balls, the player can
print out a certificate reedemable in-store for the tickets.
The chain is also encouraging families to email videos or photos of themselves playing Skeeball (to memories@cecentertainment.com), which "may" turn up on Chuck E. Cheese's Facebook page.
In addition, the restaurant brand is promoting the
availability of other games and offers on its site, and videos on its YouTube channel.
Game historians, note: Skeeball was invented in 1909, in Pliladelphia, by J.D. Estes, according to
Chuck E. Cheese.
