We were looking to add to our game collection and, on a whim, stopped in at Labyrinth Games & Puzzles. Wow. The collection of games and puzzles in their store was quite impressive! The staff is super friendly and helpful. We talked to a staff member who was highly knowledgeable and recommended a few games based on what we were looking for. We ended up buying both of his recommendations and have no regrets about our purchase. Show less

Friendly staff. The store is very organized. They have a ton of stuff yet it doesn’t feel crowded. They do have signs but they are small and blend in. I wish they were more visible.

Labyrinth is a Capitol Hill staple! They have a great game collection that's broken down into the vast, expansive kinds or just simple two player card games. They have a great community outreach program that includes Magic, D&D, Lorcana, etc. A super friendly staff!

Fantastic selection and high quality service! The staff is highly trained and well educated. Thursday night game night is always a blast and there's always someone on staff to teach you the game you want to play.

It's a really fun place to play board games with family and friends. The staff is very nice and they will help you if you are having troubles choosing a game or with any questions.

This is place is a diamond for those who love boardgames, card games and Rpgs. I live in NC and travel to DC regularly, we have our own similar stores down in NC but this store just "feels" different in a better way.

This is place is a diamond for those who love boardgames, card games and Rpgs. I live in NC and travel to DC regularly, we have our own similar stores down in NC but this store just "feels" different in a better way. I only give this 4 stars because it can feel a little crampt when you are shopping, but on every other aspect this place is 5 stars all day long. Staff is amazing, selection is plentiful and wonderfully organized (which is crazy most other stores i have been to do not do this.) Even the owner has come out and been engaged with me as a customer. If you find yourself Anywhere in DC lookthis place up, and go there. EXTREME BONUS POINTS: its basically right beside the metro. Traffic is no excuse ;) Show less

One of the best table top/card game shops I’ve been to. The ultimate Gold Standard. The staff are always extremely kind, knowledgeable, and willing to share their insight. They also have lots of games to sample play before buying. Support your local game shops!

I visited DC from Canada and was taken here for a quick stop to pick up some Pokemon cards and HOLY if you are a nerd like me this will be your new favourite store! They have everything from dnd, Pokemon, legos, board games, and most importantly the most friendliest staff☺️ They were super sweet and you can talk to them about any of your interests (for me it was Pokemon) and they will have such helpful info and options to choose from that I don’t have back in Canada! Not to mention the prices are great they are super reasonable. They also have events like a board game night Pokemon AND DND event! They most likely have more but that’s what I got to see in the store! They were also kind enough to give me the last sticker pack for free! It’s super cute and can’t wait to put it on my binder!!! 100/10 rating from Canada! I will be travelling back here with an empty suitcase next time!! Thank you so much!! 💐☺️ Show less

Very knowledgeable staff. Helped me pick out a game that's easy to travel with for my girlfriend and I to play on flights. Wide selection of games. Bit limited on their MTG selection of packs and commander decks.

Friendly staff, who knows their stuff! Would recommend this store for anyone looking for a game for any age. They also carry games from small publishers on niche subjects.

Went in for the first time yesterday and each employee I interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful. The selection of games is amazing and I was overwhelmed by the options. Will definitely be coming back soon!

As someone who is new to board games but really invested and finds great enjoyment, I’d hoped that the game store in my neighborhood would be inviting and fun. Unfortunately I have found Labyrinth to be staffed by bigots. My fiancée and I have been made to feel so unwelcome each time we visited. We are followed around, not because we have questions but because we are Black. We’ve been on three occasions and each time the store has been filled and yet one staff member insists on following us around the small and crowded store to interject into our conversations, give unsolicited advice, and interrupt our browsing. I’ve never been to a store where the staff were so attentive to only one party. I tried to assume something other than prejudice but after three visits with the same playbook I think k the verdict is clear. Show less

I want to love this place, as it's the only place in the DMV where you can rumage for MTG uncommons/rares to bulk out decks and discover new concepts, but there's often nowhere to actually do it, and the staff act like you're a major inconvenience, even when you're making other purchases along with ...

This is a shame because it otherwise has the average selection of MTG, Pokemon & accessories at priced at online market levels. Normally the chance to rummage and randomly encounter unfamiliar cards is what brings me into a shop like this, but over the past few months the emphasis appears to have shifted to online orders and events. Wish they would do more to preserve the magic of shopping for and discovering MTG in person. Otherwise, why am I going to a store anymore instead of online? Show less

I have always been an avid fan of Labyrinth, but this weekend they fully turned me into a customer for life. Like so many others in the DMV and across the country, I'm a federal employee trying to navigate the current government shutdown, and my colleagues and I have been puzzling during breaks in the workday to keep ourselves sane. I reached out to Labyrinth to see if they offered any discounts on puzzles so we could stock up, and instead they offered me a HUGE pile of puzzles that have been donated ahead of a puzzle swap in January. I almost teared up when a Labyrinth employee brought out the massive stack. Huge shout-out to Melissa from Labyrinth for helping me out. Labyrinth team—I cannot even begin to tell you how much this kind gesture means to me (and my colleagues). And for those who like any of the puzzles in the picture, I will be bringing them to the January puzzle swap! Show less

They’re always friendly and on the nose with their recs and willing to go one step further (ok, like this but we could travel with it… like that but for kiddos). I LOVE being able to try most games before buying them and how supportive they are of new game designers! 10s across the board for Labyrinth — what a gem! Show less
