Linfield boasts many great resources for the students it serves, among them is the Game Room.

A little known treasure, and open every day from 1 p.m. to 12 a.m., the Game Room is located on the third floor of Riley.

It is for students who need a break from studying and want a fun place to relax.

The Game Room has a multitude of games from FIFA and Forza for the Xbox 360 to Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.

It boasts several pool tables, table tennis, air hockey, and a pinball machine. An arcade game system is also featured.

For those like old-fashioned board games, they have classics like Monopoly and Yahtzee.

Sophomore Zachary Grate is in charge of the Game Room. Grate encourages new and returning students to visit the Game Room.

“[Students] will probably find something they like, plus it’s a cool environment to just hang out with some friends … The game room is important because it allows people from all over campus to come together and just have a good time,” Gate said.

They also have numerous DVDs available to rent for the next movie night.

From the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy to “Mean Girls,” the Game Room has a generous collection to satisfy movie lovers.

The Game Room is just one of the unique relaxation techniques Linfield provides for students.
