πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families where parents grew up gaming in the 1980s-2000s and want to share that experience with their children. Kids encounter games and hardware they have never seen; parents rediscover games they played as children. All-day play is available when no private function is booked - confirm before travelling.

⏰Ask staff to retrieve display-case games you want to play - most are accessible on request

β€œAwesome place -part museum, part gaming arcade. So many old gaming machines, many I've never heard of but all the Sega, Artari, Nintendo gear on display. Loads of games in their original cases, that you can ask to play. But there is a large area dedicated to dozens of games setup and ready to play - Frogger, Guitar Hero, Time Crisis etc etc. You can play all day IF they don't have a function booked, so definitely check the website to see if some sessions are booked|blocked out. What a blast...”

β€œCoolest place in Perth with vibe to match. We spent ages here looking at the museum items, taking a walk down memory lane. The place has lots of stations set up where you can play games from the 80’s through to the 10’s. The collection is wild, definitely a great place to chill for the afternoon. We parked at Scitech and walked over to the location.”
