ABOUT

We are Nerd Lounge

Founded on Hobbit Day 2025, Nerd Lounge LLC exists to share the joy of gaming with everyone - big or small, young or old, nerd or otherwise. Games bring people together, sparking laughter and creating memories that last long after the dice are put away.

Led by lifelong gamers Zach and Sarah, Nerd Lounge combines a passion for gaming with event planning and community experience. Our dream is to open a local game store and board game café, creating a welcoming space for players to gather, connect, and enjoy events year-round. For now, we’re focused on our On the Go services, bringing curated gaming experiences directly to the Springfield Missouri area - complete with setup, teaching, and all the fun you can handle.
