Good to know

Questions, Answered

Everything you need before you drop in or book the bay.

Walk-ins are welcome any time and we hold a block of stations for them. That said, weekends and ranked nights fill quickly, so we recommend booking a station online if you’re coming with a group of three or more.

Esports PCs start at $18 per hour, console pods from $14 per hour, and a 45-minute VR treasure quest is $45 per person. Student ID gets you 15% off before 5pm on weekdays.

We’re open Monday to Thursday 11am–11pm, Friday and Saturday 10am–1am, and Sunday 10am–10pm. The Lygon Street café counter runs until 30 minutes before close.

Absolutely — it’s what we do best. Packages start at $40 per head for two hours and include a dedicated host, reserved pods or VR bay, and a snack platter. Email or call us and our events lead Dev will build a run sheet for you.

Under-16s are welcome until 8pm when accompanied by an adult, and we keep titles to the booked age rating. After 8pm the venue is 16+, and our late licence on Friday and Saturday is strictly 18+.

Everything is provided — PCs, consoles, headsets and controllers are all included in the hourly rate. You’re welcome to bring your own peripherals; every battlestation has a free USB and 3.5mm passthrough.
