On this week’s show we examine the inflection point in location-based entertainment, from Disney’s leadership reset to retail game declines, and why competitive socializing and IP-led experiences are setting the pace.

• Disney’s CEO transition and creative leadership realignment
• Videogame retail collapse as demand shifts to experiences
• Chuck E. Cheese leadership change and experience versus finance background
• Topgolf’s sim bay model and UAE flagship signals
• Genda’s consolidation into focused umbrellas
• Taito’s 55-year milestone amid rising competition
• Dave & Buster’s Super Bowl promo via Fever and brand clarity risk
• Boxpark’s identity gap and programming mismatch
• Dine-in cinema closures versus cinetainment growth
• Grand Prix Las Vegas as a transmedia blueprint
• Sally dark rides, Zero Latency’s Jumanji, and IP strategy
• Retro arcade IP on Apple and industry missed value
• Upcoming Amusement Expo and AWE LBE XR sessions
