There are indeed a lot of games to choose from. However the shop itself is a bit small, and the ambience does not really make customers feel relax.

Overall had a positive experience. We were a large group so the staff did have issues serving us and taking orders. We were not served the free-flow snacks and some of our main courses were served extremely late and not cooked well (3 vegetarian spaghetti orders - do not order), yet the staff did not offer any discount for these oversights. This is an important aspect of customer service. The wedge fries are great but onion rings and normal fries need to be fried a little crisper. Staff is helpful and friendly, but needs more training.

Very responsive staff although the open space makes it rather noisy and hard to hear each other, especially when the rules of the game are being explained.

Great staff who attend to you and help you graciously, whether it's finding a game that you want or serving your free flow snacks! But the main courses were pretty bland and in my opinion, not worth the price. It's a fantastic place to come chill with friends, but my advice is, skip out on the mains

Generally an alright spot to chill with your friends over some games. The service crew is a mixture of good and bad, some are rude and unsure, a few others are great at explaining the rules of the game and are much more polite. The one main thing I really don't like is: I went there with a friend, we both bought the package at $11.80 each which gives us 2 hours of game time, a drink and a snack, but as a couple we are only given 1 snack to share even though we paid for a package each. That to me is quite cheapskate considering that both of us paid $11.80 each, only to share 1 bowl of snack when I think the right thing to do (which wouldn't cost the shop much) is to allow both of us to have our own. So the 2/6 is for that one nice staff that was great at explaining the game, everything else didn't cut it for me.

Nice place w reasonable pricing! Recommended! I was there with a group of colleagues and all of us had fun! Noticed however that the average age group is low, so a few of my colleagues (over 40) felt a bit out of place. Haha!! But at the end of the day, the activity is more important than the age group:)

The ground staffs are pretty friendly and helpful. Beware, its gonna be noisy! Its a place for games, and i have to same, my squad make tons of noises too. No complaints. Ordered the lagsane, taste pretty good, but the portion are a tad too small as a main course. Other than that, im glad i finally try out the place. Looking forward to our next visit, and snatch some Durian~

Quite crowded on a Saturday afternoon but overall a good experience. They ran out of most snacks, and did not allow different orders from the same group (like everyone had to order drinks if one wanted) last time allowed add on 15 minutes but now they said only can add by the hour.

Mathieu B.7 years ago · 1 review

Not a fan of the whole "timer" system where you have to play on the clock. It keeps you very streessed the whole time. Much better to pay a fixed price for entry and thats all. Also, free flow of snacks is basically just pringles or nuts. And the game masters rarely come by to help out. Dissapointed

Overall is a good place to have fun with your friends. A big table can squeeze 10 people. Something that they can improve on is the food. I had bake rice and it's average. Hope that it can be better to enhance the dinning experience. The drink selection is good enough. There's coffee and tea, and the usual ice tea and soft drinks. The washroom can be improve too. Should update the washroom....haha. Other then that, the lighting is warm and the game selection is really wide. Too bad we dont know how to play and we just want to play fast game as we couldn't stay for long. Spent around 3 hours there. Staff were friendly despite being busy and very helpful too. Will visit again.

Staff was enthusiastic in helping us in games which we are not familiar with. Games were explained with clarity and details. Maybe the staff can be less strict on having outside food and drinks. Since not everyone may be aware of the ruling that no outside drinks are allowed, this may affect those that have already bought drinks which were meant to be consumed hot.

Manager was very generous. Because it wasn't busy at the restaurant when we were there, he said he would start the clock for us when our friend arrived. Only issue was that there seemed to be a little miscommunication when we wanted to foot the bills and one of the staff didn't seem to get the memo. Other than that, the experience was great!
