Covered Deck

The game room has a wonderful covered deck. It has the best view in the house. It’s a great place to watch the rain come down on a warm summer night. 

 

 

Soundbar

The soundbar in the gameroom is a basic one, but enough. There is a wireless subwoofer by the sofa. In addition to the sound for the television, it is bluetooth capable so you can pair a phone to get some music in the room from your phone.

Game Room Roku

There is a Roku in the upstairs game room – this allows you to get all of the same content as the basement theater, in a smaller scale. Good place to watch television maybe.

The settings for this would be TV HDMI 1.

The sound bar is good enough for the room.

Nerf Guns

There are several nerf guns and plenty of ammo in one of the dormers in the bedrooms.
