It was good overall. I dislike the option that we can't just sit there and order drink but does not participate in any games .

Main purpose was for the board games. Good selection of group and 2 person games. Games package came with free flow snacks and drinks. Snacks and drinks were promptly topped up. Place was very noisy but inevitable I guess when there are so many groups of people playing games. Staff did not hesitate to teach games.

A nice place to spend time having fun with the family. Staff were ever helpful, always ready to explain the rules of the games. They even took the initiative to introduce games to us, seeing that we have young kids with us.

Nice ambience, didn't try the food so can't review on it. There are even games from childhood like pick-up stix and Uno. Went with only 2 of us, so it was quite dull.. Would recommend to go with at least 4 people.

Wait staff service was poor, kept getting the order wrong and brought the incorrect order. Hung displays of empty board game boxes was dangerous. Fell off the ceiling twice, hitting me once and a near miss for the second time. Service reaction to the accident was poor, with first staffer laughing it off and second one blaming management without offering any apology. Only one staff seemed knowledgeable about games and was the only one to make our experience enjoyable.

The service provided was excellent as the staff present are always willing to teach you how. One thing that I felt could be improved was the food as it was a little lacklustre. Nonetheless, I will definitely come back again.

Cafe was too noisy with a huge group shouting right beside us. Our group was so annoyed with the noise level but couldn't do much except changing seats. Even then their voices were still loud. Staff could had help to control the noise level a little.

Overall was fun and the hourly charge wasn't too expensive. One of the staff who served us was very friendly and even took the initiative to explain a game to us without us asking. However, another person on the staff seemed quite blur throughout our stay and served us a wrong drink once. There's enough space to both play and eat. Other customers were quite noisy/rowdy which is to be expected if people are playing games.

The restaurant was more interesting than expected. They had funny and punny posters around the cafe. The food ordered was great! and the service provided was excellent! I love how helpful all the service staffs were. They have new games and old games and if you dont know how to play it, the staff will teach you how. One thing that bothering me was that the noise from other groups of people playing was overpowering so much so that me and my friends could not hear ourselves talking to each other. Will definitely come back here soon!

The reservation was done swiftly online without any kinks, it was an extremely pleasant experience doing a reservation. At full house, the staff were patient with my queries and provided assistance to my table in quick time and seemed to be doing so for the other tables too! Great staff on a public holiday, Good Friday! Thank you to you guys. :D

Another enjoyable day at mind's cafe with my friends. The staff were patient and helpful with our queries. Another aspect that can be improved on is the pricing packages. There were 7 of us, some opted for the 2hr + free drink & snacks package while some of us wanted to just have the pay by hour package (without the drinks & snacks). We were told that this was not possible and that everyone at the table has to have the same package, which was quite discouraging. This may be due to reduce the possibility of non-package payers sharing snacks and drinks with their peers.

Games in reasonable condition. Some had missing pieces but were replaced with makeshift ones. Knowledgeable staff were able to recommend games and explain rules. About 25% of the games can be played by kids. Book early to get seat in nice sofa area! About 60% on weekday 5pm, non school holiday day.

Staff was friendly and helpful, service was acceptable. Food was average but I supposed most gamers are not there for the food. Games can be improved as many were old and used. Felt that the staff was too rigid in charging for the hour extension and too indiscreet. It was a birthday celebration where we were the hosts and they were there asking about the extension right in front of everyone forcing us to decide on the spot.
