Main Event Greenville: Fun Grand Opening Lost Pins Activity
Jul 5 all-day
Main Event Greenville

Main Event Greenville located at 225 Entertainment Blvd, Greenville, SC, is missing a pivotal part of their upcoming opening. The final shipment of bowling pins to the nearly 50,000-square-foot center is lost, and Main Event is calling on all Greenville residents to help find these very valuable items.

Main Event, one of the fastest growing family entertainment brands in the country, is nearing the official grand opening of its 57th location nationwide. To be ready for opening day, these pins need to be found and we need your help to do it. Main Event will be releasing new information and one clue per day about where the pins can be found on the webpage mainevent.com/greenvillelostpins from Monday, June 26 through Wednesday, July 5. Main Event is offering an invitation to its VIP event for four people as well as free games for a year to the first person to find each pin. The person who finds the golden pin will even win Main Event for Life!

“Lost Pins is a great way for us to introduce ourselves to the community, and it’s a fun activity for Greenville to get a first taste of the Main Event experience,” said says General Manager Danny Glover. “We’re all about creating interactive experience for people to connect and make memories, and Lost Pins is an extension of that.”

The Greenville location will have endless entertainment and activities, including laser tag, video games, virtual reality and billiards, and 22 state-of-the-art bowling lanes, with unique technology and VIP seating. The location also features Main Event’s signature in-center dining experience, Family Kitchen, designed for guests to create lasting memories while indulging in its handcrafted, flavorful American-classic dishes with a twist.
