Reschedules will not be permitted within 24 hours of your scheduled game.
"How do I cancel the reservation?"
You can cancel your reservation by replying to your original confirmation email and letting us know that you'd like to cancel. However, we encourage you to reschedule because there are no refunds applied for canceled reservations.
If you wish to reschedule, you can do it at least 24 hours prior to your original reservation time by replying to your booking confirmation email with your new preferred date and time.
"What if we can't show up after paying online?"
We're sorry, but there will be no refunds authorized for no show or canceled reservations.
The voucher number entered online might get marked as redeemed after making a reservation.
You can also reschedule at least 24 hours prior to your reservation time.
"What happens if my voucher's promotional value expires?"
In case of a purchased coupon:
After the expiration date printed on your coupon, its promotional value expires, but you can still redeem it at the PanIQ Room for the amount paid.
For example, if you paid $99 for a coupon redeemable for a $149 ticket, that coupon is still valid for $99 worth of ticket. Our system will accept your reservation, and you will have to pay the $50 difference at the door in order to play.
"What if we are late for our public game?"
When booking a public room, if your group arrives late, the team who has arrived on time reserves the right to play immediately at the start time. Once the gameplay for a public room has started, no other teams will be permitted to join the group.

"What if we're late for our private game?"
Your game begins precisely at the time you reserved! Please keep in mind that you have to arrive 15 minutes before your starting time. This will ensure you get the full hour in your room.
