The Hidden Lair

The Hidden Lair The Hidden Lair is Central Illinois Premiere Gaming Store Destination locally owned in Decatur, IL. We specialize in games such as Magic and Yu-gi-oh.

This page was created to keep our customers updated about upcoming events. It is THL's desire to reach the community to offer a positive place for people, and especially children, to come to learn about gaming. We believe that there is much to be gained by developing a love of gaming. Whether it be board, role play, strategy, collectible card game, or just something silly, there is always somethin

g new to be learned when playing a game. We want our store to be a welcoming place for people of all ages to come and hang out. The Hidden Lair has also taken a strong role in the community by offering it's services to the library and local school district. In the store, we carry a large line of learning games specifically categorized to help parents and teachers meet the common core standards in a fun way. We believe that games are one of the best ways to get information into our children's minds. Make learning fun, and they will always want to learn! Carmen Bradshaw, (owner), home-schooled her 4 children and believes strongly in teaching children to love learning so they will always want to learn throughout life. She used many games while homeschooling her children and understands, first hand, the benefits of using games to help children learn and retain information. If there are any games you would like to try out, we will order them or you are free to try out anything we have on our shelf.
