What was once thought to be the traditional family, almost no longer exists. For some, family gatherings are becoming a thing of the past.

Could reinventing family fun serve as a lifeline in Chuck E. Cheese’s current bankruptcy case?
PUBLISHED ON MEDIUM Home. Where a kid can be a kid. Growing up, a kid was a kid when climbing through plastic tubes, jumping into a lagoon of colorful balls, happily watching animatronics malfunction, eating pizza, and — of course — exchanging our hard-earned tickets for spider rings and bubble gum wristwatches. Over the years, our favorite birthday venue would transform before our very eyes, serving a newer generation and doing away with our bless-ed jungle gyms — all while adding touch screens into the mix.
