Player reviews
Loved by Melbourne squads
Booked the LAN deck for our Valorant team’s bootcamp weekend. Zero lag, admin sorted our bracket, and the Chapel Street catering was unreal.
The console pods are the best I’ve found in Melbourne. Six of us on Mario Kart in our own soundproofed room for three hours felt like a house party.
Came in for a VR Reef Deck session on a whim and stayed four hours. The operator actually helped us clear the co-op escape. Prahran’s best-kept secret.
