Parties at Play2Win Whanganui
Celebrate at Play2Win Whanganui with your friends, workmates or whānau.
Parties at Play2Win
There are two options for parties at Play2Win Whanganui - either hire our arcade party area, or our party table in the bowling alley upstairs.
Arcade party area
In the arcade we have an area that you can hire for your birthday parties, work and team-building meet-ups or Christmas functions. It has two large tables and seating.
We do not provide food. You hire the space, bringing your own food and drink and clean up afterwards.
Cost
It is $40 to hire the area. Initial payment of $140 is required, with $100 being refunded when the space is left clean, tidy and all rubbish taken away.
Timing
The rooms are available for 1.5 hours, with 15mins at the end for you to clean-up. Times of parties are: 10am – 11.30pm | 12pm – 1.30pm | 2pm – 3.30pm | 4pm – 5.30pm | 6pm – 7.30pm
Playing arcade 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.
Bowling parties
You can also host parties in our bowling alley upstairs. This is available to those who have booked bowling lanes only. Give us a call or chat to our staff on-site to find out more or book this table. You can bring your own food, and we also have hot and cold drinks and light food for sale.
How to book
Come in to Play2Win when you are ready to book either option, or pay for the arcade party area. Our team will help you out at the counter. Note that arcade party bookings can only be made with full payment. We cannot pencil in bookings.
