On this week's show we track how adult-focused, social, and authentic experiences are reshaping location-based entertainment, with Randy White from White Hutchinson sharing new data on spending, time use, and shifting tastes. Open & Shut with Kevin Williams maps the freshest openings, risky bets, and quiet closures across the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China.

• birth decline and the shrinking kids market
• educated households changing spending patterns
• live events up, community venue time down
• social games plus F&B beating attraction-only models
• programming and seasonality driving repeat visits
• alcohol moderation and the rise of zero-proof
• food adventures as a core draw
• authenticity over IP skins in guest choice
• Taito, Genda, Round1, and Toca Social updates
• space efficiency, dwell time, and revenue per square foot
• mixed-attraction venues as the competitive edge
• what fails fast: empty space and weak F&B
