Save your money and skip this place…read more The games felt completely rigged, and the experience left a bad taste in our mouths. We managed to grab a plushie that was literally hanging by its tag and should have fallen into the prize chute, but the staff refused to give it to us. That was incredibly frustrating after spending money trying to win it. Arcade and claw machine games are already difficult enough, but when it feels like the rules change whenever someone is about to win, it's hard to have any confidence in the games or the business. Would not recommend. There are plenty of better ways to spend your time and money in Hong Kong.

Worst place ever the claw machine is rigged they purposely made it so that when you grab it it…read morelet's go I would not recommend this place because of the worst claw machines in the world I wish i could sue this place

If you ask me, I probably have only been to an arcade less than 5 times in my entire life. However,…read morenotice that this one is definitely different from the one I reviewed before, last time was definitely more kids friendly; as for this one, judging from its appearance, you know it is for adults or teens who love spending their evenings out. At least that is my impression on these places... as a kid, I have never been to here and I was one of those that went to bed around 8pm. (those were the days...) So I was pretty shocked when my colleague suggested going to an arcade after work together. Since we finished work around 6, most people were probably on their way home for dinner, this is was rather quiet. On top of that, City Landmark has been under loads of construction lately, (thanks to the Link again it is turning this mall into one of those that are home to brands) there are not many people in the mall. That day we walked in, I was pretty sure we were the only two people there. I guess it is all good as I was so worried about running into gangsters (what a chicken I am); anyways, we got our tokens and went shooting right away. Basically it looks pretty much the same as other places I have been to. Inside is pretty dark and I am sure you may smoke here... but I am not a smoker so I didn't. Anyways, spending a couple of hours here was fun and I am sure so long as you are home by 12, you probably will not run into those guys... you know.

Speaking of arcade, we used to have such negative connotation with it. "What? You spent hours in an…read morearcade after school?" That's how most grown-ups would react when they hear it. Personally, I did not spend much time there, in fact, I am never that type of person who spends my free time in one of those gaming centres holding tokens in my hands carefully selecting my "winning machine". However, looking back, with the advanced technology, this type of arcade seems to be dying one by one. Therefore, I was really surprised to see one in Tuen Mun Ferry Pier which was nicely decorated and it was called "Dreamland". They always have the same type of look. One side of it is the part where you can have a look at all those prizes you would have won after getting a certain amount of tokens. The giant fluffy animals are those that would melt ones' heart for sure. The other side is filled with different type of gaming devices. All so colourful and joyful. Together with the fun background music, it will put you in the 'fun' mode soon enough and spend a few coins to give it a try. I hope this kind of arcade will stay for years as this represents lots of childhood of the last generation. And I sure hope it will not only appear in our dreamscape in the foreseeable future.

Mr X is another one of those escape games places in HK, but this one is different - I can't reveal…read moretoo much in the review or else I'll spoil it for you, but there's a lot of technology and cool gadgets involved in all the rooms that makes the experience ten times better. Imagine doors opening on command when you key in the correct code, activating the UV light switch and seeing a world of new clues spelled out for you, and distorting yourself as you go through - yes - a laser maze. There are seven different missions at Mr X and they all have different themes. Don't underestimate the challenges; they all require you to be thinking really hard and considering every possibility that's out there. You'll need to be cooperating with your friends well and talking about your ideas because they might know something you don't! What sets Mr X apart from a lot of other similar establishments in HK is the sheer size of the puzzle - I've been to many of them, and in most, you're trapped in that room and that's it. At Mr X, it's actually one HUGE area that's partitioned into smaller rooms, and the clues lead you on to going into the next rooms to eventually 'escape'. The team at Mr X is very friendly and if you're stuck, you can call for help and they'll give you a hint that's just enough to point you in the right direction. The games at Mr X definitely aren't cheap - the last time I checked it's $138 per person, and their newest room, room seven, is a whopping $180! I can't speak for that one as I haven't tried it, but I've done rooms one to six (I did them when they were having a student promotion - $100 per person) and they were definitely an experience I recommend! I would give it five stars but sigh, it only it were a little bit less expensive!
