How it works

    Choose one that suits the youngest guest's age, then a date and time.

  2. Arrive early

    Please arrive 15 minutes before your session so we can check the group in. Lockers are in the briefing rooms.

  3. Sign the waiver

    Everyone signs a waiver. Under-18s sign it together with a parent or guardian.

  4. Play

    Up to 8 players head into the arena together.

Party details

Who plays

The birthday child and up to 7 friends play each session. Bigger parties take turns in back-to-back sessions, so 16 guests fill two sessions, and we frequently host groups of more than 50

Ages

Ages 10+, starting with Singularity and Engineerium. Younger children may be able to play at staff discretion with a parent or guardian present. Each game has its own minimum age, and Haunted is our scariest experience

We had the most AMAZING experience here for my sons birthday. We booked a session for 8 boys and they all had a blast. The game was super fun , and the staff were so professional and incredible. They went above and beyond to make our sons day super special. We will definitely be rebooking this experience again !

Me and my friends have played the Outbreak game and we screamed, we laughed and most of all, we enjoyed the game. The staff are very friendly and they made us feel that even if it is our first time playing the game, that we will be enjoying it and they’re definitely 100% right!

This was a magical experience, zero latency is something everyone should try. The staff are so friendly and explain everything ahead of time so you don’t feel confused while playing. They are there to support you throughout the experience. Take as many friends as you can and have an adventure together!
