If I grew up in Brisbane and was looking for a place to throw my 10th birthday party, this place…read morewould be heaven. Actually, I am 21 years old and it is still heaven. I brought a friend from couchsurfing who'd been travelling through Brisbane for an activity that was fun and out of the ordinary. The walls were covered in futuristic paintings that looked like they'd been done back in the '80s and made me feel right at home. (I grew up in the 'burbs.) On the night we played, there were two separate birthday parties happening simultaneously, i.e. it was pure chaos. The staff there seemed to handle it very well, though, and were very helpful to us first timers. After we signed up, we received neat name tags with our laserforce identities that could be kept for future games. There's a clean, open area for adults to relax, as well as an arcade area for kids who are still hyped up on adrenaline and sugar. The actual laser force is the bomb. Sure, you're wearing sweaty helmets that stink of hormones and you're versing pre teens who will slaughter you the moment you hit the floor, but there's real joy in running around a giant warehouse shooting invisible lasers at each other. Come to Laserforce if you're looking to find your inner child, or if like me, you are actually still a child.

I'm sure most everyones familiar with the concept of the game, but for those people not in the know (You sad sad humans) the premise is relatively simple. You are on a mission to kill or disarm as many baddies on the other team as you can. Cast all loyalties aside and watch the competitive natures come out in your friends or familia. (Coupled with an over blown lazer pointer cased in a plastic gun.) If you have kids DO make sure to introduce them to the lazer show on a saturday the place on weekends is heaving with kids and they will make a bunch of friends in no time. If you are an adult DO make sure to stay as far away from this place as possible on a saturday these kids are hocked up on slush puppies and sugar. They will eat your face if you get in their way. Tremendously fun for kids (and making for a hilarious experience when intoxicated.) I highly recommend paying this place a visit.

Indoor climbing, go karting and laser tag all under the same roof!…read more Game Over is a new attraction located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Offering an interesting mix of novelty indoor climbing, go karting and laser tag. The climbing is a little bit different to "serious" climbing places, offering fancy looking walls, and a "leap of faith" which involves jumping from the top to grab onto a bar. Auto belay systems mean you don't have to rely on someone to be paying attention to you (and putting your lives in their hands!). The laser tag looks to be fairly normal, with dimly lit rooms, fog and light up guns and vest. The go karts are electric, which is rather different to any other place on offer. Electric means all the karts perform very evenly, and best of all, no stinky oily engines (which is super important since it's indoors!). The track isn't overly long but is interesting enough, with a nice big straight to open it up, hairpin corners and a chicane - good fun!

It's been a good while since i've been in an arcade, but when someone is having a 30th, what else…read moreis there to do? This was a Timezone when I first moved to Brisbane, and I'm sure it was bigger, with far better games. There's not a lot here, and a few things were on the blink. You've got a couple options. We went with 30 minutes and we could play all but the most expensive games. There's various options including with meals, so definitely figure out what's best for you. Keep in mind, you won't win prize tickets, but for our 30 minute session we had 100 tickets. Are you confident you'll earn that many on the games?

When my partner and I decided to pop in to Timezone on the Gold Coast, we were expecting your…read moretypical arcade, and were blown away by how big this establishment was, in addition to the huge variety of games that there were / things that there were to do. Most arcades don't have dodgem cars, 30 player laser skirmish, an 18 hole mini golf course or two mini bowling alleys. There were also many arcade machines that I have never seen elsewhere before, which is a nice change from most arcades all having the same games as one another. Games that I enjoyed playing included Time Crisis 5, Mario Kart Arcade and OutRun 2 SP. I will definitely visit this Timezone again in the future, and try some more of their arcade machines. I highly recommend giving them a visit if you enjoy a good arcade game or are looking to have a fun day out with some friends. It is easy to spend a lot of money here, so I recommend considering one of their combo packages, which appear to be good value for money.

This place caters very well to Pinball lovers. The owner commits to purchasing every new Stern…read morePinball release that makes it over to Australia. So at the time of writing this review, you could play AC/CD Luci (Limited Edition), Start Trek LE and Pro, Mustang LE and Pro, Iron Man VAULT, and the very latest The Walking Dead pinball. If you are lucky enough to get in when a machine is new, there is nothing quite like the feel of a BNIB machine. But as time progresses (or due to the popularity of the machine) they show their age pretty quickly. The owner is usually pretty good with fixing them.
