General

How long is an average event?

Events are typically 2-2.5 hours long. That allows plenty of time for arrivals, getting shoes and set up on the lane and of course eating and drinking . If you have a large guest count or would like to host a tournament style event, we suggest hosting a 3 hour event. However, if a 1 game package has been chosen the event will take 1-1.5 hours

How long does a game of bowling last?

One game of bowling lasts around 45 minutes to 1 hour with 5-6 people per lane.

How long does a game of laser tag last?

One game of laser lasts around 15 minutes, this doesn't include briefing and de-briefing.

How many people are required for a packages?

Group packages are available to groups of 8 people or more. If your group is under 8 people, please contact us and we can suggest alternate options available.

Do you do a better rate for our large group?

Group packages are already at a greatly reduced rate as they are offered to groups of 8 people or more only.

Who is my contact of the day of my event?

Once you arrive in centre your host will be your main point of contact for the entirety of your event. Our managers will oversee the operation of your event and are available to facilitate any onsite needs you may have.

How far in advance do I need to book my event?

We often receive group bookings 4-8 weeks in advance. However, we will always do our best try to accommodate your event at short notice.

We suggest that you arrive around 10-15 minute prior to your event, your lanes will be ready at the time your event is scheduled to begin.

Will our lanes be together?

Yes, when you confirm your event consecutive lanes are booked for your group.

Can I book for an adults and kids package together?

Of course. If you are expecting a mix of adults and children at your event it makes perfect sense that everyone can be included in the fun. Please speak with your Events Specialist to discuss the best options available for your group.
