Hidden Block Games

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was personable and even remembered one of my friends from a long time back from the last time he had stopped by! Impressive! The shop was organized and fairly priced! They care about the culture and it’s not just capitalizing on the market. Many blessing to this team.

Experiencia fantástica: I love going here. I have to visit the store at least once a month just to browse all the new retro consoles and video games!

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best card shops in North Carolina, really fair prices, the staff are always kind and friendly no matter how busy they are and the local tournaments are also always really well ran and amazing as well. I drive 30 minutes just to shop here! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Found a rare game I've been trying to find for a long time, and staff were a great help too. Price for said game was very fair as well. I was very satisfied.

Experiencia fantástica: Was a first time guest at this store this weekend. The staff were friendly and items were well priced. Nothing but good vibes from this place!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome stop! Best quality games and wonderful staff.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely LOVE coming to hidden block! Always good customer service and I always find some awesome games. I came in the other day to buy a super nintendo , and ended up finding some goodies of games to go with it. Truly put a smile on my face! I have a friend who comes to visit the Raleigh area from time to time and we always love stopping in to look around and make purchases! Easily our favorite video game store!

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best game stores I've been in! Great video game, console, trading card, and figurine selection with super friendly staff! Definitely recommend! Note: There aren't really any Funko Pops here as of the time I'm writing this, so keep that in mind

Experiencia fantástica: Hidden Block is where nerd dreams come true. I always find figures I have on my wishlist, and I always buy single packs of Pokemon. And today I hit the holy grail card of a single pack. Hidden Block, I love you. Now if I could just work here, all dreams would really come true.

Experiencia positiva: Finally came here on valentines day after hearing about it on tiktok months ago. Cashier who rang me up was very friendly. They have a pretty good selection of games for various consoles; including alot of vintage games as well. Certain games I felt like could've been priced a bit better. But overall a very cool game store to shop from and I will be back soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Literally one of the best gaming stores I’ve been too in a minute. Lovely pokemon and vintage game selection and all the employees rock! Can’t go wrong here

Experiencia fantástica: I honestly loved this store. My wife and I went in to kill time and came out with such a joyful feeling. We recently got into GameCube again and the ladies working there were super knowledgeable and personable making it so fun. The prices are great, selection is incredible, and people are fantastic. I will come here every time we are back in town. I wish them nothing but success!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience shopping here and trading in a variety of Switch games. The trade prices were fair, and staff responded quickly to the trade request. I liked that I received a text when the evaluation was done so that I didn't have to stand in one area. While waiting, I browsed the Pokemon singles in cases and found the section easy to navigate. Staff were friendly without being pushy, and they let me examine a card without issue. I used some of my trade credit for a card, and the staff gave me the rest of the credit on a card to use later. Will definitely be back!

Experiencia fantástica: I love this store, great product and I got a sticker :)

Experiencia fantástica: They have an amazing selections of cards and the staff is soooooo nice!! Will be back again :)

Experiencia fantástica: Hidden Block is the best game shop around in my opinion. Stock is great, staff is helpful if you have questions, and the location is plenty large enough to not feel too crowded to shop in while an event is in progress in their tabletop area. Speaking of which, Hidden Block has done a great job balancing their store area with card games and video games. Many game shops tend to lean into what makes them more money (card games). Prices are fair, slightly above or below market, depending on what system you're buying for. The cases are where the real treasures are at and they often have cool obscure stuff I haven't seen before. Their used consoles are a great value as well! I especially love how clean everything is here. All of the games are individually packaged in plastic so when you get home you don't have to clean them. Clearly the owners are passionate about videogames here and you love to see it.

Experiencia fantástica: Nostalgia games and consoles. Friendly staff and cool environment. 100 would recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Got a sticker. Solid people. Dr Karl got glass in his finger because of me. Great time

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was super friendly and their singles collection was priced well!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing card selection and great pricing

Experiencia fantástica: This is the nicest gaming store I’ve been to. Very organized and neat and easy to find what you are looking for, or just explore all the nostalgic items. The staff is friendly. Lots of gems to find here. Highly recommend checking it out.

Experiencia fantástica: Lots of cool stuff here! Games of all kinds, figures, consoles, accessories, cards, etc. If you're in the area peek in and see for yourself!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to find retro games, consols, jump magazine and even some figures. Good customer service. Small store so when its busy its hard to brows but great placein the raleigh area for nerd culture.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gaming store I've ever been to!! HUGE selection of vintage console games. Thanks guys at Crabtree GameStop for putting me on to this place!!

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of all kinds of console games, Pokemon cards and game themed plush toys. Collectibles and used game consoles for sale seemed to be in good shape.

Experiencia fantástica: My 11 yr old son loves to buy cards and play Pokemon here and the crowd is very welcoming. One time he even forgot to text me that the last round was starting and the employees stayed late well past closing with him so that he didn't have to wait outside in the dark alone. Great people.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down my favorite card shop in the Triangle. Incredible selection of Pokémon and One Piece Cards (along with a smattering from other games), well-priced (and well-organized!) cards, and knowledgeable (and lovely) staff. Also superb finding retro games and consoles! Cannot recommend more highly!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable! Always a great time

Experiencia fantástica: This is a wonderful place to buy, sell, or trade anything related to video games or trading cards. I would recommend this place to anyone living in or stopping by Raleigh!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place for Pokemon tournaments, buying cards. Good people

Experiencia fantástica: Man, I Had The Best Time At Hidden Block This Evening. I Went In Wanting A Bunch Of Different Things Not Really Expecting Much To Be Honest, Because Of My Past Experience With Places Like This. But To Say They Exceeded Expectations Is A Understatement!! They Legit Had Every Single Thing I Came In Saying I Wanted & Everything Was For A Steal! The Staff Was Also Wonderful! So If/When You Go, Mel, Taylor Gloria, Nathaniel (Nasty Nate) Yvo & Jake Are There To Help You & All Will Do It With a Smile & Some Of The Best Customer Service I’ve Had The Pleasure To Experience. 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Vid games, employees hella cool, employees hella hella cool. couldn’t afford the Super Metroid Players Guide though. Will be back for that.

Experiencia fantástica: The people here are very very nice and very helpful every time I come in, plus all the products and games are top their and kept in wonderful condition!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service helped me and my sister with all our gaming needs would visit again.

Experiencia fantástica: A great community of gamers celebrating classic games/systems. Best pokestop in town too!

Experiencia fantástica: Retro Block Games is an excellent spot for anyone who loves classic Nintendo and retro gaming. Their selection is impressive—NES, SNES, GBA, N64, and a lot more. The store is extremely clean and well-organized, (the games are in ALPHABETICAL ORDER on the shelves and every game is displayed neatly, making it easy to find exactly what you’re looking for. What really sets them apart is their quality control. They test, clean, and even replace batteries in retro games, which adds real value and peace of mind. Everything I’ve purchased has worked flawlessly. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about games. They also email a detailed receipt showing every item purchased by console, which is great for collectors who keep track of their collections. Prices are slightly higher than eBay, but the condition, testing, and reliability absolutely justify it. Just know going in: they do not barter. Think of them like the CarMax of games—fair prices, but not negotiable. If you’re hunting for cheap deals, this isn’t the place. But if you’re a serious collector looking for specific titles in great condition, this store is perfect. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Best local card shop in the triangle! Always try to keep things MSRP and friendly staff

Experiencia fantástica: Great shop for video game collectors or tcg collectors! I come here almost every weekend. Their stock changes regularly so there's something new to find every time.

Experiencia fantástica: The nicest employees and the best place to buy/sell Pokemon cards!! Always a great experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Best card shop I have ever been to. I went looking for some cards to collect and I found 95% of all cards. They have a lot of cards for for whatever TCG you need. They also have a lot of old retro video games and consoles plus action figures service. Very nice (review by child 9 year old)

Experiencia negativa: I brought in a large amount of vintage Pokemon cards and asked for an appraisal. About 40 holos, 50-100 first addition commons and uncommon and a large binder of commons, uncommon, non-holo rare. It took about an hour and a half and They offered me 200$ store credit. I asked how they valued the cards, they pointed to the large binder and said “these are all bulk worth less than $0.25” I open to the first page and pointed to the first card and said “how much is this card?” (I knew it was worth 11.99 on the market, because I had looked up the value of every card and knew there are dozens of cards worth more than 5$ in the large binder) they responded with “oh, we can add that to your total” this person clearly did not look through the cards and appraise them at all, and then threw out a low ball number hoping I did not know the price of what I have. They said most of my holos were “heavily damaged” and worth 0.25 cents. Market value for a PSA 1 for some of those cards is over 10$. One of my cards is a 1st edition slow king that sells for a PSA 1 of 100$ and this one is in decent condition and has a great swirl. the first 5 cards have a market value of more than they offered total. I said these have not been properly appraised and the employee responded with “I’m sorry you feel that way”…..it is not how I feel, when I’m told a card is worth less than 25 cents and the market says 11.99, and that was the first card in the binder, then they were not properly appraised. They also would not allow me to watch them appraise the cards, they did it in the back, which seemed very odd. I’ve had a lot of appraisals done with cards before and they always did it right in-front of me. I would not recommend selling cards here. I added pictures of cards that were in the binder that they said were worth less than 25 cents and the actual market value. These are just three of dozens of cards they did not actually look at and tried to basically steal them from me. The look on the personas face when I said “I have personally looked up the value of every card here” was the look of someone who got their hand caught in the cookie jar

Experiencia fantástica: I went here recently with my partner after a suggestion online to check out the store, we had previously not realized how close it was. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and were able to help me find a game in stock in their system as well as located it in store with me that I was able to purchase. Their pricing is also very fair compared to other shops I have seen. More than happy with this shop and staff and ecstatic to come again soon.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience they are always super helpful and professional. I always find something awesome when I come in. Thank you so much for your help and attentiveness! I found a crap ton of X1999 and Card Captor Sakura manga here today at the Raleigh Retro 's event! Thank you guys so much for being so awesome ! Definitely 20/5 stars !

Experiencia fantástica: Hidden Block games is amazing! I’ve had a hard time finding old Pokémon games from local stores until I came to them. Quality products and awesome people!

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic selection of Pokemon cards and video games from throughout the ages. Also nice that they sell new releases. Prices are very reasonable, lining up with prices I would have paid from reputable online marketplace sellers. So it feels great knowing I can physically inspect and still get great prices.

Experiencia fantástica: My son and I love checking out what’s new. Have really enjoyed watching the owner grow their business from a small space to holding a convention where we can all geek out together on the games and collectibles we enjoy. Thank you. Staff is awesome, great location especially for the harder to find cards, games, consoles and plushies.

Experiencia fantástica: When I stopped in the store was well stocked and the staff were friendly and helpful. I didn't go there to sell or trade anything, so I can't comment on that. However, I did make a decent size purchase and I was very happy with the service I got from the employees. I'd definitely recommend checking out this place if you're in the area.

Experiencia negativa: It's a fairly small shop, but my biggest complaint is that it's in a newly-gentrified shopping center on the edge of the hood. I almost hate to say it, but it is what it is. Total sketch.

Experiencia fantástica: What can you say about the local video and card game store that has everything? Great staff, great prices, clean store fun events for the whole family. They will buy almost anything from you. The only thing I can say bad about this store is that they are so good it sets too high of a standard for a local game store

Experiencia fantástica: Jacob and Yvo (I’m so sorry if I spelled that wrong) were absolutely amazing!!! Super communicative and awesome! Best people to be put in customer service and you can tell they love their jobs. We finally got a PSP after searching for a year! Thank you guys!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Got a console and some games after not having played in a long time! Staff was super helpful with questions we had! Will definitely be back to grab some more games

Experiencia negativa: Very low trade rate to very high end cards. Dishonesty when discussing market values for trade. Lied about recent sales on ebay. Rude and unwilling to work with you.

Experiencia positiva: The store in general is awesome, great selection of video games, trading cards, and anime merch. They offer new releases of pokemon at MSRP which is unheard of and an awesome contribution to the community. We think the scene has overwhelmed them a bit. Every time we go in there's one half of the staff that are welcoming and helpful and another half that seem jaded, over it, and just gives a holier than thou vibe which I think is unintentional but you notice it regardless. My partner and I just want to feel welcome and we dont feel like that every time we visit.

Experiencia negativa: Very low trade in value then they sell things above market value by sometimes $50 or more.

Experiencia positiva: They have a nice selection of video games, trading cards, and nerd paraphernalia. My only complaint is that the shelving layout makes it too tight to comfortably browse the video game walls if the store is busy - which it has been both times I have visited.

Experiencia fantástica: The best store in raleigh for cards and weekly events (especially when Dr.Matt is working)

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome card shop. When I go, there was always someone ready to assist. They have a great selection of packs and singles. Fair pricing and good vibes.

Experiencia fantástica: I am a frequent goer of hidden block. I purchase, play, and trade at the store basically weekly. The prices are always what TCGplayer shows and if they are higher they are willing to match TCGplayer. They always give me a break down of my trade when asked, and the events they hold always give good prizing when distribution lets them. Great store to go

Experiencia fantástica: I am in this shop multiple times a week every week. The staff here really cares about folks and the hobbies they carry. If you need retro games/systems, Pokemon/one piece singles, or anything of the like. There is NO WHERE better in the triangle than Hidden block games

Experiencia negativa: Price gouging at its finest $695 for 151 ETB. All of the other items are way above market value as well. Walked right out.

Experiencia fantástica: This is probably my favorite video game shop in the Triangle. I appreciate their curation of games; everything I've ever gotten from here has been CIB with minimal signs of wear. I also like how they'll have a little plastic sleeve over all the games in the retail space to keep the cases from being smudged or damaged while on display. I always found the prices fair and the service to be great as well.

Experiencia negativa: Brought in $400 worth of items and was offered $45. For reference, I went to gamestop after and they offered more. I brought in a ps4 which they sell for $120, a ps3 which they sell for $120, a factory sealed ps3 controller that goes for $120-$150 all day on ebay. Plus a couple other factory sealed odds and ends. They were not in need of more ps4s, so they turned that down. Without the ps4 that is still an offer that is 16% of market value. I wasn’t rude when I declined, but I won’t be selling to them again. Don’t let them down play this in the response.

Experiencia positiva: I like coming here to purchase cards, but I'm knocking a star off because it actually smells like body odor in there, and even the employees smell like stinky sweat when they were helping me get some cards from the displays... Please mgmt, tell your employees to shower and put on deodorant.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic local shop with fair pricing retro items.

Experiencia fantástica: This place has a ton of pokemon singles that you can look through. Great music and atmosphere too. I would definitely recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place for retro gear and games. Friendly staff, the price ranges from great to stupid, but it is a collectible store. So, it's not unexpected. Browsing or buying, this is a great place for family and friends to relive the glory days of video and card gaming.

Experiencia negativa: Be careful of their deceptive business practices - won’t answer questions about trading in telling you that they won’t discuss policies over phone to only have you come in and turn you away.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff are super nice, come all the time for their OPTCG events. Always a great time here :D

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! Such a cool variety of things for great prices, my friend got a bunch of cards and he even noticed new things because he went the day before. They have so many video games and anime dvds. Definitely a store you should check out once a month to see what’s new. Really fun hang out too.

Experiencia fantástica: I went for the first time today and this is one of my new favorite places ❤️ They had a great selection of pokemon cards and videogames and the staff were really nice as well! We were looking for a specific pokemon card that wasn't out and they informed me that one was recently traded and went and pulled it for me. They are also really reasonably priced. Thank you so much

Experiencia fantástica: This place has quickly become my guilty pleasure. Great quality products, huge selection, happy friendly employees, and amazing trade in deals. Thanks guys!

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection, clean, organized, good music. A wide variety of games, consoles, anime stuff, cards etc. Pricing seems to be dead on. Happy to support a local business.

Experiencia fantástica: A damn fine video game store. Never have I seen such attention to detail in cleaning and organization! Staff was awesome and super informed! Every SINGLE game in there is immaculately cleaned and put in lil' bags to keep em' perfect, and there are cases for the extra rare goodies. It's the perfect blend of otaku-paradise and gamer-dreamland. 14/10 would definitely go back and it's a 10 hour drive ️

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent store. Very busy when I got there, people buying trading and selling. I was able to get someone's help finding the vintage section very quickly and they even priced out some recently acquired vintage for me on the spot. They had an enormous selection of singles and some great cards, and while I don't know much about the modern sets they did have four vintage holos in their set for great price. Some of the bulk singles were a little aggressively priced but out of 40 singles both me and Hidden Block had some wins, and and I think that's what we all want out of any trading card experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I wanted to say how appreciative I am at how Hidden Block has handled the latest Pokemon releases. While other stores in the area are raising prices to scalper levels, Hidden Block has committed to selling at MSRP and it's greatly appreciated by the collector and player community. They are now my go-to local place to grab packs and single cards to fill my binder and build decks.

Experiencia fantástica: Was my first time there today, I was impressed with the amount of items they had! I was able to get myself japanese packs, and found a couple japanese and english cards that needed assistance, I also found cards I been looking for in the drawers with the other cards! I will be coming back in the near future. I am very happy with the collection I managed to get boltund is a prime example of who I manage to look for! I love all the cards I had gotten.

Experiencia fantástica: Their store is clean, organized, and carries a wide range of videogames (including Imports) and TCG stuff. They price their products fairly and also buy at fair prices as well. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Just moved to the area and will be a routine customer here. Keep up the great work.

Experiencia negativa: Brought in easily more than 30 rare pokemon cards and two mint rainbow sparkle cards to be offered $7 for my whole lot. Seven dollars. What an insult. I mean seriously mustard goes for $7 minimum everywhere I have seen him… they said they use TCG to price so why is my whole lot worth one card? Actually ridiculous.

Experiencia fantástica: Really nice people, found consoles I'd been searching for for a while Decent prices too! They also take trades and can venmo cash or give you store credit.

Experiencia fantástica: Went here recently on the recommendation of a friend to get some special Pokémon cards. The staff was very helpful and kind. They had games, cards, collectibles, etc. They even had some cool snacks to try from other countries! I would definitely recommend this place to a friend.

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly staff, clean store, fair prices, and great selection. Would make the seven hour drive again to visit!

Experiencia positiva: Really enjoy this store and the new location is a prime spot with much more space and traffic. That being said Ive had some issues with this store. You will not get a fair trade value no matter what you consider offering them. They state very bluntly that they pay 50% value for your stuff. Which isnt horrible, but that is the MOST you will get. Getting offered 60% of the value of a rare game is insane. Which ties into the next problem. They NEVER have sales. I understand it is a small store, but there is no way to get a discount here. Doesnt matter how much you buy. Ive spent thousands with them and acquired some nice stuff. But when I asked if I could save a couple dollars by paying cash they said "This is a business and we pay taxes." Very confusing, because you dont pay taxes on the trade-ins though. The last problem I have is half the store is Pokemon cards. Which is completely fine, and draws most of their foot traffic. But the store is super hyped about investing in Pokemon that they miss opportunities to promote/invest into heavy games that come into the store. Its always a random guess as to what they have on a given day. Which can be fun in its own way. Dont mean to sound all negative, but had better experiences when they were in the other location. Still time to improve though. EDIT: So not only was my original review vindicated, I had a rather negative experience when testing my trade credit theory with a substantial trade in. I had a little over 30 games to trade in with about 10 of them being modern titles(PS5,XSX,Switch). As well as a bunch of Limited Run stuff worth a couple hundred and the rest was a bunch of SEALED last gen games(PS4, Xbox, PS3, Dreamcast). Keep in mind that I wanted around $300 STORE CREDIT(50%) for these items valued over double that. So I come in with my big box of stuff, greeted by one of their friendly staff who glances over it and says "Oh yeah we would definitely be interested in taking this, especially the newer titles". So they run the newer titles(which is about 7 of the 33+ games) and offer me $120. That was great and I was immediately happy with being offered about 60%(as I estimated in my original review) for those. I ask about the other 20+ games; and before I can finish getting an estimate with the employee, the manager walks over. He introduced himself and said something along the lines of: "Im not sure if the other employee explained the situation to you of how we handle lesser value trade. I can make you an offer for the rest of the games(sealed LRG,PS4, Xbox), but you probably wont like the number I give you. Generally Limited Run, Xbox, PS4(keeps listing the other games in the box) dont sell as well here" I was kind of taken aback by that comment given that I was already half-way to my goal and still had 25 or so games to trade valued at around $300 anyway. So I figure okay im like $180 away from the target amount, as long as I get half that $300 value it should be fine. He comes back and says the best offer for everything is $200(meaning he valued the $300 in games at $80 trade). I immediately was turned off from the trade. I asked if they could do $280 store credit total(45% trade) and they refused. Saying that is the absolute best. Keep in mind that I was going to use that credit right there in the store. So not only did I walk out with all my games, I was able to trade them for $320 CASH($420 Store Credit) at playntrade. Not before they roughly handled my games during the entire process. The irony of the replies from the owner here stating they do better than the pawn stores 35% and then offering me less than 33% was almost too unbelievable. I still like the store, but havent felt the want to spend money there after that so far. Especially considering that even gamestop has a better trade value than that.

Experiencia fantástica: I've done quite a dozen video game & collectible figure trades here over the last couple years since I moved to Cary. I can say that their trade-ins are always fair, with very kind and energetic staff who are customer-focused. Love shopping here and will continue to support them and the events they host!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing shop. This is a very, very specific story but I think it says a lot. They got a slew of Pokemon Prismatic Evolutions boxes and they sold them all at MSRP and limited one per customer. My kids have been talking about this set for a couple of months and only because of this policy was I able to grab them a few packs on release day (it sold out instantly everywhere). I was too late for an ETB but grabbed a binder with five packs for $30. Later in the day I got an email from a card shop in the area advertising the same box for $59.95. You've made a customer for as long as you are around, Hidden Block Games. Aside from that, they have a ton of great video games at super reasonable prices. I've shopped there a few times, buying a system and a bunch of games across different consoles and never had any issues.

Experiencia fantástica: Great availability for a variety of retro gaming consoles, I've purchased several games for my PS2 and original XBox. Staff is very friendly!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing place to visit 10/10 service everyone is kind and professional the store is one to cleanest and most organized compared to other gaming shops lots of options in games from retro to newer generation in games and game systems recommended shop

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of collectibles and games. They had the exact limited edition collectible I was looking for and it was cheaper than online sellers!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been here a few times for video games, and really enjoy it. They always have fair pricing and good quality, and the people working there are very friendly and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Loads of selection for good prices and good condition! Games, cards, DVDs, figures, TTRPGs, and more. My favorite deal is the tankōbon volumes for only $5 each!

Experiencia fantástica: Very good place to get any Pokémon cards in Pokémon games, their prices are very fair

Experiencia fantástica: Traveled over an hour to visit. I will definitely be back. Was very impressed with the store and the staff were so very friendly and helpful. Prices were also reasonable. I genuinely enjoyed my visit here with my family. The kids got to take something cool home too!

Experiencia fantástica: They have a great selection of pokemon cards and even have animal crossing cards! This store is a dream come true for anime and game fans, small and welcoming with a wide variety of things. I highly recommend!

Experiencia positiva: I have been a customer since their old location. The shop is great and I can always find something to pick up. Unfortunately, today was the 2nd time I went home and realized I was charged a few extra dollars more than my items were priced. My mistake for not catching it, but I put a lot of trust in this business. If buying single cards, just be mindful everything is added correctly when checking out. I will still support and recommend this shop, but I'm a little frustrated if this was done intentionally.

Experiencia fantástica: Hidden block is one of those stores that you stumble upon one day and then wonder why you shopped with their competitors. The service, value, selection, and just general fun in store can’t compare to your typical game or card shop. A solid five stars.

Experiencia fantástica: Probably the best LCS in raleigh hands down. All the staff are super kind and always attentive to the customers. It’s definitely the most fairly priced LCS as far as singles and sealed products are concerned. Make sure you follow them on instagram and go to their block parties, they are so much fun.

Experiencia negativa: Just bought a game earlier today and got home opened up their packaging to find literally no game in the case! Will not be returning to this store! Really like how do you not check your products. I had been really wanting this game and went to this store based on recommendations but this is sad. I have never written reviews before but this was absolutely worthy of it. I may be over stepping or maybe the staff was lazy in there checking. But for everyone else who decides to shop here open your games the second you pay for them right there in the store because I’m sure they will have zero care after you leave. It’s disheartening I have to say it but that’s the reality. Please learn from my experience!

Experiencia positiva: Only problem I had with the shop is the prices of the singles are just way too high. They price them according to the grade they believe it would receive. Similarly with their CGC 9.5’s. Can’t price them at a 10 if they aren’t. Shouldn’t be how it works but other than that, the shop is good

Experiencia fantástica: I visited their store a couple months ago and was pretty amazed by the sheer variety of stuff they have to offer. It’s really a paradise if you love video games, animanga, card games, you name it. The trade-in values are super fair, it’s well-worth selling your stuff here rather than a big name place. Cant wait to come back again.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband & I are regulars here and we always have amazing experiences at Hidden Block Games! The staff is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about their job. They have a fantastic selection of both modern and retro games, plus a great variety of gaming accessories. The store is well-organized and has a fun, inviting atmosphere. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or just looking for something nostalgic, Hidden Block Games has something for everyone. Highly recommend checking this place out for all your nerdy needs!

Experiencia fantástica: My partner and I have been to hidden block games so many times and every time we have a beautiful time. The staff is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They recently helped me pick out an adapter for our N64 so we could play our new banjo kazooie game (also purchased at hidden blocks). We enjoy the great events they put on like the block party. Sometimes we even go in before or after dinner or the gym just to peruse the store.
