A California woman found herself stuck inside a Chuck E. Cheese “Snow Day” arcade game after attempting to retrieve points by reaching into a narrow tunnel. The Burbank Fire Department freed her after nearly an hour, as a group of children looked on.

How the Incident Happened?

The incident occurred Thursday around 3:30 p.m. at a Chuck E. Cheese in Burbank. The “Snow Day!” game involves players stepping inside a small capsule where soft “snow” balls fall from above. The aim is to collect the balls and place them into scoring holes to earn points.

The game is designed to last only a few minutes. However, the woman’s attempt to access a part of the machine not meant for players extended her time inside to almost an hour. She had to kneel to fit inside the space designed for children.
