“Whether a fan of nostalgic video games and pinball machines or modern-day immersive entertainment experiences, the Mystery Fun House will appeal to hardcore gamers and families alike,” said Jared Saft, chief business and strategy officer, Westgate Resorts. “The Mystery Fun House has deep personal significance to the Westgate family. This project not only honors our founder David Siegel’s early ventures in Central Florida entertainment but also demonstrates our continued commitment to creating exceptional experiences for our guests and investing in our local community.”
The project caps off a multiyear investment totaling nearly $120 million that also included renovations to more than 1,500 suites and lobby, a new coffee bar, a Crafted by Starboard retail store, and the addition of two new restaurants. The arcade and food hall span nearly a half-acre with the Mystery Fun House Arcade Experience powered by Chuck E. Cheese and offering fun and engaging play for all ages.

- Chuck’s Arcade: A retro throwback with classics and nostalgic hits
- Chuck E. Cheese Fun Zone: A child-safe space for younger guests, filled with age-appropriate activities
- MEGAbites: An immersive food hall resembling a retro video game world with four food venues and a refreshment bar
- Sweet Dreamery: A candy store offering treats, ice cream, milkshakes and mini donuts with a waterslide through the middle
- Mystery Lane: A museum-like corridor showcasing memorabilia, animatronics, a mirror maze and original artifacts from the historic Mystery Fun House
The project’s development has been handled entirely in-house.
