Great place to visit. We booked our end of season party here and the kids loved it. Great variety of games for all ages and abilities. Plenty to choose from, including shoot em ups,racing games, dancing games, puzzle games, pool and more. They have a couple of toilets on site which were clean and well maintained. There is ample street parking outside or a multistorey right behind it. The party rooms are a good size with benches and tables for all to sit and eat. They have a 1st to 3rd podium for the tournament they hold for all party members. The staff were super friendly and extremely helpful going over and above to accommodate our needs, I can't thank them enough for all they did for us.

I used this location as the last stop on a stag event that I was organising! And what a fantastic way to do so. I was arranging the stag while I was in Australia, so they were very patient with communication and regularly checked in with me since they knew there was a lot of planning for the day. They made sure I had space to store items/props/equipment….. pretty much everything that I needed for the event at the venue from the night before. The team were so hands on from pre load, to running the event and then when I was loading out the following day and they management really helped move mountains to help me make this happen! Emily, Chloe, Dani and Jodi did so much to help me bring this final spot on our adventure to life! We had the end of the day, so the place to ourselves and all 18 lads I had with me ran around like 10 year olds in a sweet shop! ❤️👾🕹️🎮

Our 10 year old son had a birthday party here recently and it was superb. Good value for 1.5 hours of play and then 30 mins in the party room (plenty of time for food!). What impressed me was the excellent range of really good arcade games and machines. In addition, Harrison, our party host, was on hand to make sure things ran smoothly. Dani and Pip were also super friendly and you could tell they had a real passion for arcade games. A great experience and highly recommended!

Hosted our sons 9th birthday and it was fabulous. The concept is great, unlimited goes on the arcade machines with plenty of choice, but what made it great was the help and support by the team on the day. Our party host, Jodie, was great as she was friendly and supportive throughout the entire session. The host room for food and cake afterwards is big and works well. Great event and would highly recommend.

Such a great concept! Need more like this between Worthing and Brighton, it would be a huge hit!. Two floors of awesome games. Entrance fee very reasonable and they even have a Photo Booth which sends photos to your email! So impressed. We will be back 😀
