The prize
Traveling non-stop can be exhausting. We all need some time at home to relax.
With a little help from Sears and Downtown Traveler, you can transform your apartment into the ultimate ‘man cave.’
Enter here to win a Halex Cricketview Electronic Dartboard, perfect to entertain your friends while watching football this winter.
This top of the line electronic dartboard ($99.99 retail value) is a perfect addition to any game room. It has 37 different built-in games, with 210 variations, and is made with integrated wood doors and a full-light display.
The winner of the Halex Cricketview Electronic Dartboard will be chosen and announced on Friday, December 17th.
‘Man room’ craze
As a traveler, there are times when you just need to slow down and unwind. Instead of rushing to catch a flight or haggling with a cab driver, you just want to relax, have a beer, and play some pool.
Custom built game rooms have exploded in popularity, and Sears has introduced a new website with tips for how to make your own game room.
Visit The Sears.com Ultimate Game Room Experience to see how Sears transformed ordinary rooms like yours into ultimate games rooms. The website also features how-to videos on picking out the perfect pool table or ping-pong table to fit your needs.

Ping pong! How do I get my hands on that ping pong table??? That would complete my game room.
what an excellent contest! am jealous I don’t live in the U.S. otherwise, dartboard.. YOU ARE MINE!! MUAHAHAHHHA…
I would get the Thomas Aaron heritage pool table. the sears game room is actually pretty dope.
I’m all over the pool table…love the game…and I promise to do some of my holiday shopping at SEARS if you pick me.
a pool table is something every game room should have
Seems like the pool table is a popular choice! Might be hard to squeeze into a city apartment, but I suppose it could double as a bed 😉
The ping pong table would be cool, but it sure would be hard to blog with the table squishing me into the computer.
But you bring up an excellent point… the ping pong table could also be a work station/desk for your home office! lol
Pool table all the way. I love billiards more than anything.
hey, i left a comment here on this post last week. .where did it go? eek! anyway was saying this is a great contest with a really cool prize! i wish i lived in the US so i could win. (and you know i’d win 😛 )
Hey Ciki! I agree- you have an amazing ability to win free stuff through online contests 🙂 Your karma must be excellent!
Def a pool table! we already have a offical ping pong table from germany, its been used about zero times in our game room and at this point it might be used as a kids table for parties! Pool table all the way
I love pool so I would have to say the pool table. Follow and Tweeted @applespice159
The air hockey table would be a must in our household!
That’s a cool giveaway, how did you get hooked up with that? Believe it or not we already have a dartboard courtesy of hubby and it’s sitting in the basement collecting dust. So I will let someone else win this who really will use it!
Dartboards do make excellent Christmas presents 😉 Have you thought of re-gifting?
I couldn’t live without a pinball machine in my mancave
I would have to say the Halex Cricketview Electronic Bristletech LT Dartboard. Darts are a lot of fun to play with friends. It also doesnt take a lot of room.
I’d love a dartboard.
I visited Sears and there’s some real nice tables I’d want for sure.
I follow sears fit club on twitter. I’m @MCJunkie
