# Movie Theater Gaming (FOLLOW UP) By Bianca | Published 2007-08-07 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaming-on-the-big-screen-video-games-in-theatres-with-timeplay-entertainmen References: [timeplay](http://timeplay.com/) Some of you may remember earlier this year when Trend Hunter featured some gamers playing Wii on a movie theater screen. Well, now it's a business. And the concept makes sense! Wouldn't it be fun if you could play your video games on the big screen? Have a movie theatre where you can sit back and let the massive screen become your playing grounds? Some Canadians thought so too, eh. TimePlay Entertainment lets you play a variety of games for $8 per half hour to play games with multiple players including bingo, trivia contests, Deal or No Deal and for the kids, SpongeBob SquarePants. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Movie Theater Gaming:** Playing video games on the big screen in movie theaters. - **Interactive Gaming Experiences:** Engaging with video games in new and immersive ways. - **Multiplayer Game Experiences:** Playing games with multiple players in a social setting. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Bringing interactive and immersive gaming experiences to movie theaters. - **Gaming:** Creating multiplayer gaming opportunities in non-traditional settings. - **Technology:** Developing innovative solutions to integrate video games into large-scale displays. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toronto Gastro-Gaming Businesses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oche.md) - [Face-to-Face Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board.md) - [Series-Inspired Life-Sized Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifesize-squid-game.md) - [Screen-Time Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clipology.md) - [Fandom Culture Retail Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eb-trends-store-concept.md) - [Retro Plug-and-Play Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-plug-play-systems.md) - [Digitized Board Game Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/board-game-consoles.md) - [Interactive Motorsport-Inspired Gaming Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-kart-worlds.md) - [Arcade Leaderboard Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dave-busters1.md)
