Northwood Game Haven

Thousands of titles — from 2-player games to large party games, classics like chess, cribbage, and Mahjong, and everything in between. Reserve a table, pull a game, and stay awhile. The Chippewa Valley's largest craft soda selection keeps every session refreshed.

Never played a board game before? No problem. Our staff will sit down and teach you any game in our library — no rulebook required, no experience needed. Just show up curious and we'll handle the rest. Gaming is for everyone, and we mean it.

Completely new to the hobby? Our retail floor is built around our exclusive "Journey" system — a guided path that introduces newcomers to modern board gaming with no overwhelm and no jargon. Just discovery, one great game at a time.

Board games, trading card games (MTG, Pokémon, Riftbound & more), accessories, and local goods. New and used inventory. Whether you're a veteran collector or buying your very first game, we'll help you find exactly the right fit.

Retro and modern under one roof. Retro: every Sega console, plus SNES, N64, GameCube, PS1, and PS2 — stocked with the best games for each platform. Modern: Nintendo Switch 2 with Pro Controllers and every retro controller (NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, GameCube), plus PlayStation 5 — and an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription with 300+ Nintendo, Sega, and Game Boy classics. Check out any system with any room reservation: authentic CRT TVs in The Depths, or 86" 4K Smart TVs with surround sound in The Holt, Stash's Den, The Lodge, and The Adventurer's Rest. Every console and title is available for play — not for sale.

A multi-level outdoor lounge deck overlooking the Chippewa River and downtown Chippewa Falls. Tables and chairs are set up and ready so you can pull out a game and play while taking in the fresh air and river park vibes — one of the best views in the city, with a game on the table to match.

Belt out your favorites in total privacy — just you and your crew. Karaoke is available in The Holt, The Lodge, The Adventurer's Rest, and Stash's Den (our personal favorite karaoke room — something about that otter energy just hits different). Book your room by the hour and bring the house down on your own terms.

Book The Holt, Stash's Den, The Depths, The Lodge, or The Adventurer's Rest for birthday parties, private game nights, TTRPG campaigns, corporate events, and more.
