I used to have two play areas on my main floor-livingroom and extra bedroom. But some days was a pain depending on age of children if I had 2 young ones each in a diff room playing it was harder to watch them. We renovated our basement to make one big area (also for family tho-rec room) and like it much better (and will hopefully need the other bedroom soon) Luckily my father did the work and paid for supplies and we're (slowly) paying him back.
