Des Moines-based Ricochet plans to expand to Kansas City. When will the new game bar open?
Des Moines game lounge and social bar Ricochet has plans to expand its footprint outside of Iowa.
Ricochet announced a new location to open in Missouri. This will be the second Ricochet venue to open. Traffic at the Des Moines Ricochet hasn’t let up since opening in 2021, allowing for growth.
Owner Brad Argo told the Register that the expansion of Ricochet through the Midwest started by hunting in Minneapolis and Kansas.
“It’s exciting that a Des Moines business is expanding throughout the Midwest,” Argo said on the phone Wednesday. “I think it says a lot about Des Moines and the things that come from here.”
Where will the new Ricochet location be?
The new Ricochet will be in Kansas City in an 11,000-square-foot building at 18th and Grand in the Crossroads Arts District, according to FOX 4.
“We love seeing the growth in Kansas City,” Argo said. “It has a lot of positive energy and a lot of momentum. And it’s close to what we call home which is Des Moines. It still allows us to stop in and spend time at the location without getting on a plane.”
What will be at the Kansas City Ricochet?
Similar to the Des Moines bar, the Kansas City Ricochet will have a U-shaped bar and many of the same games, including table tennis, pool, bags, darts and more.
“The games will typically be two-player games that will bring people together and allow them to connect without all the distraction of electronics,” Argo told the Register.
When is the Kansas City Ricochet opening?
The second Ricochet venue is expected to open in the first quarter of 2025. The new location is in the architectural stage with construction starting soon. The estimated opening date is early February.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Bates County Circuit Court judge Friday sentenced a Linn County, Kansas, man in connection with the December 2025 death of Airen Andula, 13.
Damon Leonard, 47, was sentenced to four years in prison for abandonment of a corpse, according to court records.
He pleaded guilty to the charge of abandoning a corpse on May 22.
Andula disappeared from his Pleasanton, Kansas, home on Dec. 21, 2025. A day later, law enforcement found the boy’s body in a ravine in Bates County, Missouri. He had died from multiple dog bite injuries.
Police were led to the boy’s body after a phone call from Leonard.
Court documents said Leonard “admitted that he transported the deceased child from Kansas to Missouri and left the body in the bottom of the creek” before he returned home.
KSHB 41 reporter Fernanda Silva spoke with Andula’s family earlier this week — after the guilty plea and ahead of Friday’s sentencing.
His family shared that the guilty plea brought a small sense of justice, but it didn’t do much to ease the pain of their loss.

“We’re missing our kid every day of our lives,” the boy’s father Charles Andula told Silva.
Leonard received credit for time served of 158 days in his sentence, per court records.
