✓ Active team challenge✓ Self-service entry✓ Lockers on site✓ Friendly staff (Carrie)✓ Group-friendly

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for older kids, teens, and adults who want a high-energy active session - this is more workout than play centre. Reviewers consistently note it's fast-paced and competitive, and call out the customer service (Carrie is named for going out of her way to fix booking errors). Air-conditioning gets a specific mention.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Located upstairs in the building - not the main entrance shown on Google Maps
⏰Sessions are timed; arrive a little early to settle in and store belongings
🎟️Lockers with keys on site for valuables and bags
🚗Bring water - sessions are physically active and air-conditioned but you'll work up a sweat

“Make sure to wear comfortable clothes. I didn’t think of it much as I wore jeans. Best to wear active clothes. We did 30 mins and it felt longer. It’s so active that 10 mins feels like 30, and 30 mins feels like a whole hour. Totally worth the time. There’s a toilet inside and drink vending machines if you get thirsty. No outside food allowed though. It’s so cool because when you book online you are given 2 codes. One for the entrance in and one in order to play the game. I think it’s great to do in the morning or the afternoon. Perfect for families and especially for kids who have energy to burn. It helps with their quick thinking. A lot of the time my nephew goes to the trampoline but I think this is way better and so much more fun. We were able to capture the whole 30 mins of our game for free as inside the room they have a wall phone holder and you can record your game entire time. To do this for free is even better so you are able to capture memories. Most places you would need to purchase your recording but to be able to do this with your own phone is great. If you’re unsure if you should book or not I hope reading my review you decide to book. Very fun and memorable. Definitely will come back.”

“10000000/10 Great experience, easy to navigate inside the venue & so much fun! The Good: - Great pricing $80 NZD ($70AUD) 4 x Adults in 35min session - Parking available and restaurants downstairs - Toilet on-site - Locker with key available to store your belongings while you play - Vending machines with water/juices and games available - Can access the venue earlier than your time slot (Great for us cos it was hot outside today) - Air con in both game rooms (absolutely needed after that workout) The Bad: - Location: Google Maps says its right at the entrance, when it's actually located upstairs next to Systematic Accounting services (photo & video attached) Highly recommend for energetic kids, friend groups and team building!”

“Tried the Running Grid for the first time with a group of eight of us for one hour. Great activity for families or friends. Best to dress in activewear as you are going to be hot from all the running around. Bring a drink bottle too or you can purchase drinks from their vending machine. Everything you need is given in the instructions. The games have different difficulty levels, so you can choose what suits your group”
