Ricochet Social is an Iowa-based adult game lounge with its Kansas City room at 1720 McGee St in the East Crossroads — inside the former Kansas City Star building (Grand Place). It quietly opened the weekend of Feb 22, 2026, with a grand opening Feb 24. About 10,000–11,000 sq ft, 21-and-over: ping pong, Skee-Ball, darts, billiards, bumper pool, shuffleboard, board games; $10 GamePass for all-day unlimited play; craft cocktails and local beer. Tier 3 — out-of-metro multi-city concept (same honest disclosure as 30hop-lees-summit); metro page because the room is real and operating.123

Description

Ricochet is eatertainment of the game-lounge type: pay for a GamePass, play unlimited tables, drink. The KC room is the glass former Star plant at 17th and McGee. First-party lists ping pong, Skee-Ball, foosball, bumper pool, plus the Star/KCTV roster of darts, billiards, and shuffleboard. Food is not the headline (no first-party priced kitchen transcribed this pass — menu_status: na until a kitchen menu is published). Corporate events are a stated use.123

Ownership and history

The Star (Feb 23, 2026) identifies Ricochet as an Iowa-based concept that had already opened elsewhere and then took ~10,000 sq ft in the Star building. First-party still carries the Feb 24, 2026 opening line. KCTV5 previewed the same address Feb 12, 2026. This is not a KC-founded brand; it is a metro outpost, filed the same way as other honest Tier 3 rooms.213

menu_status: na this pass — first-party KC page is games + hours + events, not an itemized food-and-drink list. GamePass $10 all-day unlimited (Star).2
