This was honestly one of the best group experiences I’ve had! You really feel like you’ve been dropped straight into the game — before you know it, everyone’s competitive, running from ghosts (and each other) and trying to rack up as many points as possible. The presenter was fantastic and really elevated the whole experience. There were plenty of rounds, each with something different, which kept it exciting throughout. Definitely wear comfortable shoes and clothes — you’ll be moving around a lot!

PAC man was amazing! Never done something like this, awesome concept. Exercise has never been so much fun 😂 Easy to understand, well explained, the host and team were enthusiastic and friendly. Drinks, snacks and lockers for items all on site and air conditioning to cool down after! All in all amazing - Five stars all around ⭐️🥳

Pac-Man experience was honestly epic 🎮🔥 It’s only 30 minutes, but somehow feels way longer because you’re fully immersed the entire time. One of the games even had that bleep test energy… had me moving like my life depended on it 😅 Just a heads up, they ask you to arrive 15 minutes early, but we actually ended up waiting around 20 minutes past our start time. After that, there’s the device fitting and game briefing before you begin, so factor that into your timing. Also, if your group is smaller than 8, you’ll be teamed up with others. While the main goal is your team of 8 vs another team, there’s also a competitive edge within your own team 👀 Shoutout to the host with the incredible hair, absolute vibe and top-tier hype person. Made the whole experience even better. Would 100% do it again!

We had a fabulous time undertaking this experience, where the staff gave out the Pacman vests and let us name our own characters before the door revealed the start of the arena! Before this we waited around on the cubes after being checked in and staff gave me a glass of water, placed phone behind the desk to charge too. In the arena's digital simulation we ran around as Pacman characters eating dots and being chased by ghosts with their different strengths, needed to make it around corners with the safest paths to avoid as many of them as possible. Items like magnets or cherries popped up briefly to eat for extra points, the announcer helped engage with the game by enthusiastically saying when anyone scored one of these and when the leader-board changed! There are bonus Pacman games with their take on Crossy Road and a conveyor belt round, where the whole items come at us from the arena as well as the walls from the corners. Final round is free-for-all that sees special items spawning in one corner at a time however the ghosts are also attracted to them making our mission to score maximum points whilst manging to not get attacked, score boards at the end of the game display our overall rankings!
