About parties at Play2Win

At Play2Win we have an area that you can hire for your birthday parties, work and team-building meet-ups or Christmas functions.

It is an area in the main part of the arcade, with a couple of large tables and seating.

We do not provide food. You hire the space, bringing your own food and drink and cleaning up afterwards.

Playing games at your party

Game Card

To play the Play2Win machines as part of your party, you can buy a normal Play2Win card of any value that accumulates tickets.

Time Card

Or you can buy a special ‘Time Card’. This allows you to have one hour of free play, without winning prizes.

The costs for the time cards are:

  • $20 per one hour (includes 100 points for prizes) – usually used for birthday guests.

  • $25 per one hour (includes 500 points for prizes) – usually used for birthday person.

How does the Time Card work?

  • Time starts: When you swipe the first game. After the hour is up, the time card is blocked.

  • No tickets on this card: The games will not award any tickets for time cards. However, the $25 time card comes with 500 points pre-loaded onto it. The $20 time card comes with 100 points preloaded onto it.

  • Crane and merchandise games: The card does not allow play on ‘crane’ games or games that give out prizes directly. These have the magenta/pink coloured card readers.

  • Playing one game multiple times: To make all games available fairly to our customers, time cards are limited to 3 consecutive games. Bowling, Laser Maze and the VR bikes are limited to one game. You then need to play another game before you come back to your original game.

  • Continuous swipes: The Time Card does not allow continuous swipes on one game to accumulate credits. Once you have swiped your card for a game, the card will be blocked for 30 seconds, which will allow you enough time to play that game then move onto the next one.

  • Sharing cards: You may share a card with a friend, but remember there is a time lapse between each swipe of 30 seconds. We recommend each player having their own card.
