Dave & Buster's is generating buzz in Columbus, Georgia, with a city-wide flag hunt and exclusive rewards ahead of the grand opening of its newest location at 5700 Whittlesey Blvd. Five lucky winners who find hidden Dave & Buster's flags around the city will receive an invitation to the VIP Preview Party and a $100 gift card.
The new 20,573 square-foot entertainment hub features over 100 of the latest arcade games, a chef-crafted food menu, handcrafted drinks, and a state-of-the-art sports bar. Guests can eat, drink, play, and celebrate all in one place.
Leading up to opening day on Monday, July 20, 2026, the Columbus team invites the community to search for five hidden flags across the area. From Tuesday, July 7, through Saturday, July 11, the brand will release clues daily at daveandbusters.com/columbusfindtheflag to hint at each flag location. Each day, one winner who finds a flag will receive a $100 gift card and an invitation to the exclusive VIP event for five guests. This private celebration offers a sneak peek at the new location and a chance to enjoy the fun before it opens to the public.
"We are incredibly eager to build anticipation and share the energy of our new home with Columbus even before we officially open," said General Manager Keith Wilson. "The 'Find the Flag' event is a wonderful opportunity for us to engage with the community and reward five local winners with a special first look at everything we have to offer at our new venue."
Finding a flag entitles the winner to the prize in question, a gift card, and a VIP invite with five guests. Large ticket items are not included. Participants can only win one flag, and the offer cannot be combined with other promotions. Other restrictions may apply, and the contest is void where prohibited.

Beyond the pre-opening excitement, Dave & Buster's is set to become Columbus's premier destination for group events. Whether planning a corporate outing, team-building event, holiday party, or milestone birthday, the new venue offers dedicated event spaces, customizable food and beverage packages, and interactive entertainment for groups of all sizes.
