How It Works

From Booking to Boss Fight

Four quick steps between you and your first quest of the evening.

  1. 1

    Pick a two-hour session online or by phone. Weeknights from £14 per player, weekend peak from £19. Groups of six or more get a private neon pod.

  2. 2

    Meet Your Guide

    A resident games master greets you at the door, hands out tokens, and matches you to a quest that fits your party — no experience needed.

  3. 3

    Play & Level Up

    Free-roam the arcade floor, dive into a tabletop campaign, or enter the evening tournament. Loyalty points stack on every visit.

  4. 4

    Claim Your Loot

    Cash in points for house merch, drinks tokens, or a spot on the wall-mounted leaderboard. Winners get first dibs on next month’s events.

Booked the Tournament Pod for my partner’s birthday and it was flawless. Our host ran a Street Fighter bracket for twelve of us and the scoreboard on the big screen made it feel like a proper esports night.

The guided tabletop quest converted three friends who’d never touched a d20. Our games master read the room perfectly and kept the veterans and newcomers equally hooked for three hours.

I come for the arcade free-roam most Thursdays. The cabinets are genuinely restored, not emulated, and beating my own leaderboard score each week has become a small addiction.

FAQ

Questions Before You Quest

Everything about booking, prices, and the venue.

Booking & Prices

Walk-ins are welcome when there’s space, but weekends and tournament nights fill up fast. We recommend booking online or by phone at least 48 hours ahead. Bookings open six weeks in advance and a small deposit secures pods for larger groups.

Arcade free-roam starts at £14 per player on weeknights and £19 at weekend peak. Guided tabletop quests are from £22, and a private Tournament Pod for up to twelve players is from £180 for a four-hour hire.

The Venue

We’re at 55A Curtain Road in Shoreditch, London EC2A 3BS, a five-minute walk from both Old Street and Shoreditch High Street stations. The entrance is the pink-lit doorway beside the record shop.

Absolutely. Under-18s are welcome until 7pm with an adult, and every quest has a beginner track. Our games masters are used to teaching from scratch, so no prior experience is ever required.

Food, Drink & Access

Yes — a full bar with craft beers, soft drinks, and cocktails, plus a short menu of loaded fries, wings, and vegan bites. Session prices include a welcome drinks token you can redeem at the bar.

The main arcade floor, bar, and accessible toilet are all step-free via the Curtain Road entrance. If you have specific access needs, call us ahead on +44 20 7739 0126 and we’ll reserve a suitable pod.
