Chuck E. Cheese has launched a $99.99 for 6 Kids Birthday Party Package, according to a press release.

The package includes two full hours or game play, the Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Show Extravaganza, the Incredible Birthday Ticket Blaster Experience, unlimited soft drinks and upgraded prizes for the entire party.

"We've heard from countless families that rising costs are forcing them to cut back on special occasions like birthday parties," Mark Kupferman, EVP of Chuck E. Cheese, said in the press release. "At Chuck E. Cheese, we believe every child deserves a memorable birthday, regardless of the economic climate. That's why we created this new package — so families can still enjoy the full Chuck E. Cheese experience without the high costs. We're confident this will be a gamechanger for families everywhere."

A recent survey of 1,200 U.S. consumers conducted by Chuck E. Cheese and RepData revealed that parents estimate the average cost of hosting a kid's birthday party outside the home to be around $340. Over a third of respondents held their kid's last birthday party at home or in a local park — not by choice, but due to the high costs associated with out-of-home celebrations. In fact, 70% cited cost as a major factor in their decision, and 77% specifically chose to stay home to save money. Alarmingly, 10% of parents reported that their kid didn't have a birthday party at all due to financial constraints.

"Parents shouldn't have to choose between celebrating their child's special day and managing household expenses," Kupferman added. "At Chuck E. Cheese, we've always been dedicated to creating joyful memories for families. The new $99.99 for 6 Kids birthday package is part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring that every child can experience a fun, stress-free birthday celebration, no matter the budget."
