Every CEC Phase

Phase 1 (PTT Era)

1st Location

This was meant to be a test to start the establishment with the rat himself. The building was small with the classic entrance, an arcade with many old games, and the showroom. The showroom had normal dining with a kitchen, but included a stage show featuring 6 characters (Chuck E. Cheese, Crusty the Cat, Jasper T. Jowls, Helen Henny, Pasqually, and the Warbalettes). The main four were placed in portraits, Pasqually was placed behind doors, and the Warballetes were sitting on a raised platform. The portrait bots of Crusty and Chuck E. Cheese were later updated to Second Generation versions that have more moves than the previous ones.

3rd Location

This location never had the classic robots, but was the largest location, with 3 total floors. They have tons of games, seating, and lounges to test characters in production. The third floor was only meant for training employees and to keep storage.

Phase 2 (Concept Unification Era)

Showbiz

This was the original competitor of Chuck E. Cheese, and the predecessor of Phase 2. It was an establishment similar to the chain with pizza, games, lounges, and the stage show, which featured 7 characters (Billy Bob and his pal Looney Bird, Rolfe de Wolfe, Dook Larue, Fatz Geronimo, Mitzi Mozzarella, and Beach Bear). They had many signage very close to Chuck E. Cheese's, with the logo and pizza being close to the original.

Phase 3 (Cool Chuck Era)

Phase 3 (Advertisments)

Note: I am not making opinions for this Phase.

This place is "Chuck E. Cheese' where it's full of booths, games, and a prize corner, but the major difference is the coat of paint. There are colorful walls and tiles on the ceiling and floor, there is no stage show, and the signage and props related to CEC are absent. The Phase 4 ads are similar, but actually take place in a CEC look-a-like rather than here.

Standard Phase 3

These locations were when CEC Entertainment made lots of money back in the 2000s. The outside has the beige walls, red awnings, and the classic Thumb Chuck logo. It's a standard Phase 2, but more modern, with many pop-culture decor, new signage, and sports posters, with the more hipper Cool Chuck. They updated their booths, included a prize sign, and added plants and sets near the stage for a studio-like feel. They also contain a toddler zone and the now-removed Skytubes. This phase usually has Must-C posters or record posters to go along with the theme of the stage (Studio C, and MMBB Stages respectively).

Small-town Phase 3

These are just Phase 3s, but with Studio C Cappas, All-you-can-eat buffaes, and the walkaround being used at all times.

Phase 4 (Avenger Era)

Phase 4 Prototype

This was a new project that started in 2003 where stores were updated to have framed wall art, purple walls, and a new logo, which is the Phase 3 logo combined with the newer Phase 4 logo. Everything else is just Phase 3.

Standard Phase 4

Phase 4's outside is the most iconic part with the blue and red awnings and checkerboard walls. The inside is a phase 3, but with all of its pop culture items removed in favor of making it simpler. It did retain some Cool Chuck art, such as the Andy Warhol posters, but most of it has the newer Avenger Chuck E art. Some white walls were replaced with purple walls just like the prototype remodel, the booths were recolored from green, red, and blue, to just green and red, and the showroom walls were taken down to make the building more open. The toddler zone was removed, but the Skytubes were present until the 2010s.

Small-town Phase 4

These are Phase 4s, but are in small districts, or in malls. The animatronic stages are usually small 1-Stages, or Studio C Cappas. They are basically just the same as the small-town Phase 3s.

Phase 4 2010 Update

This is the final type of Phase 4. This version's difference is that they have unique character posters, new blue and red booths, a new carpet, and the edition of a sign that reads "Your Pizza Made Fresh to Order" and "Fresh Garden Salads".

Phase 5 (Rockstar Era)

Prototype Phase 5

These are either Phase 4s but with the logo replaced, or what was said before, but with Avenger Chuck E. posters being replaced with posters of the newer CGI animated Rockstar Chuck E.

Standard Phase 5

This location is Phase 4 updated to the current style CEC is going for. The outside and inside are all different, with the exterior having Chuck waving, while the inside has more colored walls and a twisted appearance than the usual phase 4s. They usually have dance floors without an animatronic show, but it was only in a couple locations until...

2.0 (Late-Rockstar Era)

2017 2.0

This is a completely normal Phase 4 clone, until CEC removed the eyebrows and fur. This is a Phase 5 outside, but with green bricks and a brown background with Circles (Of Light) on it, but the inside was completely redone with an open kitchen, arcade, and dance floor. The stage show was replaced with a "party room" and a dance floor with character silhouettes on the front. The logo signage got a massive change, but only for a couple years.

2019 2.0

This is the same as before, but signage got reverted, the dance floor got remodeled, and the open kitchen concept got removed.
