Player Reviews

What the regulars say.

Booked the whole arena for my brother's 18th. Twelve rigs, our own playlist, staff sorted the pizza order — hands down the best party we've thrown.

Good to Know

Questions before you drop in?

Everything you need to know before your first session at the zone.

Walk-ins are welcome whenever we have free stations, but weekends and school holidays fill fast. We recommend booking esports bays and VR sessions online at least a day ahead. Board-game nights on Tuesday and Sunday almost always need a booth reservation.

Esports bays start at $12 per hour, VR sessions from $35, a full-day retro arcade pass is $20, and board-game nights are $8 per person. We also run a $30 three-hour arena pass on weekdays before 5pm for students with valid ID.

Everyone is welcome. Under-16s need a parent or guardian present after 8pm, and some VR titles and arcade games carry MA15+ ratings that our staff will check. Daytimes are especially family-friendly.

Absolutely — private hire of the esports arena runs from $420 for two hours and includes up to 12 stations, a dedicated host and a snack platter. Corporate team nights can add catering from the Lygon Street bar. Email us and we'll build a package.

We're at 57 Queensberry Street, Carlton VIC 3053 — a two-minute walk from Lygon Street and a short tram ride from Melbourne Central. There is metered street parking on Queensberry Street and paid parking at the nearby Carlton lot.

We open at 12pm every day and stay open until 11pm Sunday to Thursday, and until 1am on Friday and Saturday. The last VR session starts one hour before close.
