Phase 1 is the first major upgrade for Showbiz Pizza Time locations that includes a new game package, Kid Check, enhanced prize and merchandise offerings, "Sky Crawl", and improved product presentation and service.
History
In 1993 the games enhancement initiative was put in the planning phases to bring more tickets into the game rooms and to rework the merchandise areas in existing restaurants. In the spring of 1994, the Irving, TX location became the first location to receive the Phase 1 games upgrade.

Phase I
Kid Check
Kid Check is an initiative taken to keep children safer in CEC locations to calm the concerns of parents. They achieve this by having a Cast Member stamp the guests' hands with an invisible ink with a designated number that's only seen under a black light, an alternative is a sticker with a number to be given to small children.
Sky Crawl & Toddler Town
The Sky Crawl is an early concept of the Skytubes, which were colorful tubes that were paired with the Ball Crawl. These tubes were usually near "Toddler Town", an earlier concept of the Toddler Zone, an area with a smaller ball crawl, games, and rides suitable for smaller children.
