The family is the basic unit of society—yet, statistically, family members are the very people most likely to steal the extra Arch Deluxe you've been saving for all these years. Solidify family alliances and suss out enemies with today's Groupon: for $20, you get an all-day video-game play pass at GameWorks (a $45 value), located in Ontario.

GameWorks, a gigantic entertainment destination constructed with flashy Vegas panache, ensures both children and adults have a delightful time fighting pixelated zombies. Choose from a windmill-factory’s worth of 200-plus video games, including crowd favorites such as Razing Storm and Midnight Max Tune 3, or pay a nostalgic visit to the old school with games such as Pac-Man and Mario Kart. Your card is also valid for virtual dance stations and shooting games like Rambo.

Although today’s Groupon does not cover the cost of food or drinks, you won’t have far to wander for sustenance thanks to an on-site restaurant with plenty of beverages, as well as potent potables for adults. Each card purchased can only be used by one person; buy up to five Groupons and bring the entire family or a school of bipedal fish.

Not valid with existing membership cards.
