Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find Diversions on social media?

Easy, peasy -- just look at the bottom of our website, you will find the links to our social media profiles in the footer.

Alternatively, you can find us on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — just search for the username diversions.ic on any of those platforms and we should pop right up! You also can find our profile on BoardGameGeek.com under the username diversionsic.

The space you are proposing is similar to the recently-closed game cafe, Fortuna -- how do you plan to avoid the same fate as Fortuna?

We enjoyed playing games at Fortuna and hope to recreate our favorite aspects of it at Diversions. We have talked with Fortuna's owner and game shop owners across the Midwest to hear their advice and lessons learned. Based on those perspectives and our own ideas, our business plan includes some significant differences from Fortuna, including an emphasis on food and drink, memberships, and regular events. You can read more on our business plan here (diversionsic.com/business-plan).

When and where are you opening?

We will be opening in Coralville at 119 2nd St on April 12th, 2025! Come check us out!

If I have a spouse/significant other(s), are the benefits shareable with them?

Perks and/or membership benefits are for the individual who has paid for the membership or one person they have gifted or designated to received the membership benefits. We love the enthusiasm of sharing, and we may roll out a 'family' style membership in the future!
