Jordan & Emma Walbridge, Co-Founders of Gameway, joins J.D. Durkin to discuss the innovative world of Gameway, the first premium video game lounge located directly in airports. As travelers often face delays and long waits, Gameway aims to transform that time into a fun and engaging experience.
The genesis of Gameway is particularly fascinating. Emma and Jordan recount their own experiences of frustrating airport delays and how they envisioned a solution that combined gaming with the airport experience. They recognized that while gaming cafes existed, there was a gap in the market for a similar concept in airports, especially since many travelers are also gamers.
Jordan and Emma also open up about the challenges they faced in establishing relationships with airports, including navigating the complex RFP process. Their determination and innovative approach led them to connect directly with airport CEOs, paving the way for future partnerships.
