I absolutely love this store. It has a ton of table top games and a ton of comics as well. Its even fun to just walk around and look at all the statues of heros they have on their shelves. I recently checked out their dice collection and the all metal ones are pretty cool. Definitely recommend this place even of youre just driving around looking at stores.
I just needed to give a shout out to how amazing Adventures Underground is. Not only do they do online orders, but their care and consideration is top notch.Im a fan of Patricia Briggs series and when she tweeted that shed gone in and signed all their copies I was delighted at the chance to nab one. To my surprise, rather than just sending the book outright Adventures Underground reached out to me and let me know that I had nabbed one of the books Patty hadnt signed. They offered to swap them out, but I was so impressed they were aware and alerted me first that I just opted to add another one on. They were able to add it in on my order, without me having to do any of the legwork. To top it off, they came wrapped with such care.TLDR: People + staff here are amazing. Order from them. I know I will be again.
Such a friendly, cozy place to shop for games and comics! Staff always has great recommendations and makes sure you find the items youre looking for. Definitely will shop here again
Love it here! They have such an awesome variety. I could spend hours wandering there. Browsing games or comics. Grab a coffee, browse some records. What an amazing store!
This place is pretty sweet, it reminds me of Borders or Barnes and Noble but waaay better! They have collectibles, comics, books and Im sure theres other stuff. I loved that its an independent bookstore with a big bookstore feel. I found the book I was looking for and a couple others. It would be very easy to spend hours in this place!
Awesome place to get your fandom geekiness on no matter if it’s board games, model building, books and comics and so much more to offer. Definitely recommend to anyone!
Great place found alot of souvenirs to take home to Utah.
Its awsome a bunch of cool nerdy stuff >:) good selection of manga!
This place is amazing! I enjoy every second of it! The workers are also helpful too! And I like there comic book deals!
It has a lot of cool board games and collectables as well as some magic cards and lots of books. It also have pathfinder and D&D stuff. Its a really cool store and a great place for nerdy intellectual people!
I am so glad I took the time to stop in and explore this amazing store! I could easily spend many more hours in here, browsing through all the books, records, games, toys and all the other odds and ends this place sells. The employees were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They helped me find a couple games I was looking for, that my kids were thrilled about! I was very happy to see them busy and thriving, as these types of stores have become a thing of the past. I dont know if or when Ill be back in Richland but you can bet that Ill be returning here if I find myself in the area again!
This place is amazing. I have been here before and they are very knowledgeable and happy to help you find anything. Huuuuuge selection of comics and back issues. D&D, magic and everything else! Very cool store. Highly recommend!
This place us wonderful. They take the health of their customers seriously and have been awesome throughout Covid! My family loves coming here to shop around and grab a cup of tea from the connected Café.
Quirky! Comics, books, toys, music and more. Shop local, shop mom and pop!
This is ultimate nerd store: RPGs, board games, books, records, action figures, posters. Its a good 5 hours of browsing if youre into everything in the store. I spent about 3 hours going through the sci-fi and records. The sci-fi was great- reasonable prices on a huge, high quality used book collection. The vinyl prices were about average but they had some cool oddities like a 10 single collection (literally never seen one of those.) Make sure you look in the record shelves under the top record bins, theres good stuff for cheap. There was a Front 242 12 single for $5 that Ive seen for $25+ on eBay; I actually bought it from eBay at one point for $7 because I thought that was the online deal of a lifetime. Nope!
Probably the best all around Comic/Games/Sci-Fi/Hobby Store in not just Tri-Cities, but all of Central WA. We drove from Yakima to here (only an hr drive), and found amazing and well priced board games! They had the LE Christmas Ed of Patchwork for an amazing price! Lots of great side stuff (such as the newly created Sanrio/Hello Kitty snack box packs), for the same price you get from ordering online, except you get to pick and handle it yourself (dont have to worry about some smiley face van flinging it onto your doorsteps and smashing your snack box). So many amazing and positive things from this place, such as their care for safety and security of their patrons... New Structure: The store opens up for the first 45 mins of every hour. They close the store the last 15 mins of every hour to do cleaning. Masks is enforced to safeguard themselves and all the customers. Please help them out and help out a local business! Support them, this place needs your help! Lets go Tri-Community!!!
While visiting family in Richland, I came across this store and was able to find gifts for my nieces and nephews. Prices and variety of things to choose from was great! Definitely a neat store to visit.
This place is so cool and the staff is pretty chill. They got a pretty good collection of things to buy. I totally dont want all the lewd figures and posters. ;3
Amazing book and game store with strong offering of various types of game (FPG, CCG, Miniatures, baord games, etc), comics, and -- of course -- books. The attached coffee shop is always on-point and offers rotating seasonal specials. Staff of the bookstore are knowlegable and can order almost anything they dont carry on the shelves.
Shop local. Nice store. Always go for a visit
Huge place, could spend a long time exploring over many visits.
First time here loved it will def be back. Amazing selection chill staff everything you could ask for
I think Ive commented on this jem but it is worth another go! Hard finding a book? Eclectic search? Well worth a stop by. They have secrets above, so inquire if not below :) Keep an eye out for the new doggo, I saw him today ( not sure how he identifies, but I saw a boy doggo... I think)
Great quantities of good quality secondhand books, as well as new books. Lots of board games as well! Great spot.
One of the absolutely most loaded game stores on earth, I found no shortage for my dice rolling needs, and it was a little dangerous for my wallet. Nonetheless, a well stocked store with a friendly staff!
Just bought a thing of a dice and a booster. The customer service was super good and the building was SPOTLESS.
Its a really nice media store. I was there for used records. Great selection average price of used was $7-10
Great place for comic geeks.... model rocket enthusiasts.... board games.... great used book selection....educational toys...and much, much, more.
Fantastic local store. Clean. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Seemingly stuffed to the brim with fun stuff, and fantastic variety. Great place for gifts. I always wish I had more time to spend here. Yeah you can probably buy it on Amazon but guaranteed you will have more fun buying it here!!
Love the variety of the shop. Lots of educational kids books and toys. Theyll special order items for customers. Games, D&D everything, Comics, Manga. SUPPORT SMALL BOOKSTORES.
Great place for books, games, dice and more! Fantastic people that care about their customers like me.
An amazing store with a wide selection of merchandise and fair prices! Ive found several wonderful books here
Wonderful store for all kinds of hobbies from vinyl to 40k that got it loved it
Great options, friendly staff, and a cute gaming and live music cafe on the other side. Highly recommend both!
This is a fantastic store! I love all things board games, between that, and the vast supply of books, I can proudly call this place my favorite store. Anytime you want or need books, comics, board games, hobby toys, or vinyl records, this locally owned store deserves your business.
Lots of cool stuff. Very friendly staff
Totally recommend this place!They have a little something for everyone. So cute and they love dogs. They literally radioed puppy in the store. Yay puppies!Super kinda staff
Fun place. It was busy, and hard to get into all the places we wanted becuase of other people. Overall, nerdy and awesome!
They have so many cool things for anyone who loves games and books!
We were in the market for board games and kids activities and this place over exceeded our expectations! They had in stock each game we were looking for and we added several to our wishlist while perusing! They had a neat train table area for my 2 little kiddos to play at while we searched. They had lots of fun Melissa and Doug kids activities. Looked like they had a great book and comic selection as well. The store is very well organized and the staff was very friendly. They also have a neat room in the back where you can go with friends and try out playing lots of games! Ill definitely be back!
Dis place cool, nerdy, and vibey
A warm and welcoming place for anyone looking to just chill out and enjoy the fictional side of life. The staff is great and the neighboring cafe is brimming with happy staff.
Awesome place. They have books, games, hobby stuff, and even comics!
Would love to support this store, however after walking in today I was not wearing a mask and did not have one and instead of the gal asking nicely she was very rude. Then she litterly shoed me out the door with her hands. If I had one I would have put it on, its whatever. However As part of a family owned local shop myself if you are going to require masks still, then provide them or at least ask nicely ! I will never support this business again. Not the type of store I want to give my money too!
Cool bookstore and gaming shop with an attached cafe. A Richland/TriCities icon. While Its much smaller than Powells in Portland, it sort of has the feel of a mini-Powells. I bought The Dubliners by James Joyce, but also was shown a nice minimalist chess set that didnt quite prod me to buy it, but it was nice they took the time to pull it out for me. They had a nice selection of chess sets and other games as well as a fantastic selection of gaming dice. Its worth spending money at a place like this rather than buying on line just to keep places like this in business.
Update. They made it right and apologized.this place has always been good to us and weve loved supporting them. But on our most recent pre-order they took our name and number 3 times and when we went to check on it again they told us their quota was full and they couldnt help us. wed never received a phone call. We were extremely disappointed in their additudes and actions during our interactions.
Super amazing energy every time we walk into this store, everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. We had the pleasure of talking with George today and he was very nice and helped us with every question we had! 11/10 will always go back and recommend this place.
Awesome place. The kind of place you just want to spend hours in.
Very nice people all together. All though at times their game room can smell like BO
Supporting local small businesses starts here! This place is always so welcoming and full of fun. Even with this crazy pandemic, they are handling it with careful consideration to the public. The prices are amazing and the selection of books, records and even novelty items for gamers and geeks is outstanding! Their cafe is scrumptious, their staff is friendly and knowledgeable. By far one of the best places to visit in the TriCities!
Very unique and cool store!
A great place to get comics and games. Many great memories from my childhood and adolescence of looking through the back issues of comics, the used books, the board games, and the records. Absolutely recommend stopping here for the events, the atmosphere, and the helpful staff.
Its pricier than going online to buy stuff but going in and checking everything out is a cool experience and youre supporting a small business! Definitely somewhere to go check out!!
We stopped in today while vacationing. What a store!!! Games books action figures comics!! Great friendly staff! Love this place! If you are a table top gamer check it out! You wont be disappointed!
The cashier was helpful, but couldve been friendlier. They didnt carry several of the comic books I went there to get, or were sold out of others that they did carry. Overall, its a great store and I wont let this one experience determine my shopping there in the future. Ciao!Update 1/8/21: They had most of everything I went there to get. And how! I was very impressed with their special on comic back issues, buy two get one free. Brick and mortar stores like this make the world a better place. Great job, guys!
They were selling Game of Thrones Catan for like $80 right... I specifically asked the employees if the game could be played stand alone and I asked them to reassure me like 10 times cause I am not familiar and it was a gift for my husband. So it turns out they sold me an unplayable extension pack that is only $40 online. I’m sure they won’t refund me because the plastic has been taken off and I misplaced the receipt. Huge ripoff, this was my husband’s only birthday present.
Excellent selection of used books and lots of interesting stuff plus very nice and friendly staff. This was my first time here but I will definitely be back.
Super friendly people working there. So many different sections, board games, miniatures, role-playing, comics, books, puzzles, and i am sure there is more that i am missing. Go visit if you havent, well worth it. And the coffeshop they are attached to makes good coffee drinks.
This is a great store for finding rare books, games, comics, and educational tools, nearly anything in the Sci-fy world or comic world. Also a good selection of anime if you are into that. Always friendly as well and helpful if you need something special ordered. Love this gem!
Great place to go to for bishojou figures plus they got some great quality stuff 👌
Awesome place to shop. Big store :)
Huge selection of books at reasonable prices.
While Ive always been treated somewhat poorly in the store while asking questions, the gate-keeping attitude of the clerk yesterday* (this happened more than a month ago now) finally was too much for me. Im not coming back to this store, and if you want to enforce the mask mandate, you need to a) provide those state mandate rules to the people you approach at the time you approach them, and b) get them correct. I couldnt find anything about how my mask, which covered my nose and mouth, was out of the actual mask mandate rules, and it certainly felt like it was just an excuse for a petty cashier to pull a power play. It was humiliating and degrading and its not the first time that I have felt that I was trying to be removed even before this pandemic. Im not loud, I always buy a good amount of stuff, I dont ruin displays and I dont bother other customers. I was also told that if I were a person who couldnt wear a mask for medical reasons, (which I *was* wearing a mask,) that I could shop online. So if you have a legitimate disability like COPD they dont want you in their store??? Or maybe it really was that they just specifically didnt want me and this was the way they decided to exclude me from their store. I dont know, but it was a terrible experience and Im not taking my family back here.*edit to reply publicly to the response below:It took me over a year to even get back out in public to see friends and family I hadnt seen in months AFTER vaccinations in our area were widespread and I still was harassed for not being somehow good enough, and ONLY at your store. I realize that lack of compliance could kill a business and you have those interests to protect, and I even agree with and support those interests, but the experience crossed the line. I even would believe that your employee had the best intentions and was just doing the best they knew how with the information they had on hand, but its abusive to push people to follow even stricter guidelines than what already strips people of the self agency they had before. That was not appropriate or fair, and I do as much as anyone anyone else has or did for doing my part during the pandemic and I dont appreciate being bullied to do even more. Thank you for responding to my concerns.*for clarification: the person who approached me was a woman, and the event occurred a month before this edit, but for whatever reason Google is not tracking the date correctly. It also means it took you a month to respond, which I appricate. You can enforce whatever rules your employees want, but you cannot abuse your customers by being snotty and shaming them into more compliance. If you need me to respond again, Im more than happy to respond with why it isnt appropriate to demand people be happy with enforcing discrimination.
Such a fun store with so many great finds and the staff are really friendly!
Nice to support a local shop. Good selection of board games and table top games.
Love It here! All the fun games and books you can consume!
Love this store. Has something for everyone
Great staff, large selection. Has a good amount of recent titles and newer back issues of comics as well as used/new books, toys and games. Highly recommended. The even have 50 cent comics
Great, friendly service! We absolutely love this store! I love that they will set aside comics I want that are waiting to be released and they have things other stores dont have for games, DC, Marvel, lots of books, etc.
If youre looking for that one particular book, anime, game, and want the real-deal experience that only comes from browsing a big, locally-owned bookstore, with über knowledgeable staff, Adventures Underground is it! Best part? Used books means you can buy more for your $$$!Plus, a great little cafe is attached! Get a Panini sandwich at their Caterpillar Cafe!
I love everything about this store. The selection is good, the staff are helpful and the atmosphere make it a fun place to shop. I cant wait until they are able to open their new play area!
Huge selection of books, comics and manga. Figures of ships,boats,tanks and anime characters as well.
Love this store its a geek heaven. I stop by everytime Im in TriCities
The staff is so friendly and welcoming, and they always have what I need or are able to get it in a quick time frame!
Great buying experience, very good selection and atmosphere and you can tell the employees are dedicated to keeping the store clean and organized. They have unwanted item tables for if you decide not to buy something and I think thats a fantastic idea
This is my favorite comic shop in Washington! There may be others like it but this is my favorite.The employees are super chill and the events are always worth checking out. Their records can be a bit expensive but they’ve got some good stuff in the discount wall.Anyways if you’re looking to get out of the house to check out some cool nerdy stuff there’s no better place in eastern Washington.Anime figures, vinyl records, books, comics, snacks, coffee, manga, models, card games- this place has it all.
Great selection, wonderful staff. Always enjoy coming here.
Great for readers of all interests, lots of comics and graphic novels. The staff are friendly and are willing to help you if youre looking for something specific. The store is also huge, lots of stuff for everyone. I do recommend being prepared to social distance and wear a mask, as a bandana or something else might not let you in. I know people complain, but they are just trying to keep everyone safe and are following the states orders.
Great staff, very helpful. The store is huge so the selection of books, collectibles, board games and cards is huge as well. Staff was very insistent on keeping things clean and sanitized which was also a plus.
Best place for books and games in town. Great owners.
Was expecting vintage comic books for sale
An awesome haven for geeks and nerds! My favorite area was the board game selection. Found some great games I hadnt heard of yet!
The staff are always so friendly and the environment is wonderful
If you love board games, Gundams, books, D&D, pathfinder, war hammer or any of the other numerous games this is the best store for you. Plus you are supporting a local business thats been around for awhile and that I hope stays. Definitely give this amazing place a visit and support.
Lied to me and my friends face and rip us off
Great love this store, has a great selection and knowledgeable staff.
First of all I love that its huge with so many different choices from books and magazines to tarot cards. The only reason I am giving four stars is because their metaphysical / witchy section which is the section I always look for is lacking a lot. I am super freaking happy that I found a first edition book by silver ravenwolf, its in new condition but spending twelve bucks on a book that was published in 1993 its kind of expensive. But it was willing to pay for it because of the condition it was in. I do really wish that they sought out more metaphysical witchy book I have been practicing witchcraft for a long time but it is now becoming a lot more acceptable so therefore I would expect them to have a much better selection. The service was okay the gentleman was on the phone clearly irritated with the customer on the other end and did not ask for help until I stood at the counter steering on for approximately three and a half minutes with no interaction with me. That threw me off.
If you love comics and books this is the place to go!
Staff was very helpful and overall great experience.
The staff is very knowledge and make it a fun place to shop
Amazing staff, wonderful visit
One of our favorite places. I wish we had been better at supporting them through curbside during their Covid 19 shutdown BUT since reopening, I am so impressed with how they have handled everything. We go very few places right now but Adventures Underground has managed to keep us coming back again and again. My daughter misses their free kids events and we cant wait until they can get back to that. They have so many great educational toys for kids and the best selection of books, comic books and graphic novels for young minds and grown minds alike. If you are wondering if its worth stopping by, do it. Youll thank me later.Keep it up AU!
I love going to AU and browsing all the great merchandise! The staff is always polite.
Everything was nice and neat. Found Everything I needed
One of the best stores in Tri-cities! Books, games, records, puzzles, and various nerd stuff.
Lots of cool stuff and a huge book and comic selection. Clean and they keep everyone safe with Covid in mind. Wish I could give 10 stars.
