The escape rooms are phenomenal, and you get free access to the board games room afterwards. Staff are super friendly and helpful. One of my favorite places to be in Fredericton and fun for all ages.

This place is so fun! I knew when I was going to made a reservation which was easy to do on the phone. TONS of board game options, including an adults only section! The tables are super fun with lights and a surface you can write on. The service is great and friendly. They also have escape rooms which I did not get to experience this time around, but would love to next time as your entry gets you free access to play board games. They've got a great menu as well but I did not partake in food this time.

They have variety of options for games and their VR escape room is great too. They have both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and snacks options. Loved their Hot chocolate.

My husband and I went here for our date night for the first time. We really liked that the server knew how to play our game because he taught us when we were confused! The food is good, but nothing glamorous. The atmosphere was focused on gaming and so it was great. We go back almost every week now!

My daughter was invited to a birthday party there today and we were there first to arrive. I walked up to the guy working at the cash and asked about the party for today. instead of letting me know that they had no reservations but people don't always need one and the group can just show up, he went out of his way to be sarcastic and make me feel stupid for not knowing how things worked there ( I had never been there before) I was shocked by how he spoke to me, it was completely unprofessional and uncalled for. I'd never recommend this place based on this interaction.

Our group of friends had an issue with a game we bought at Unplugged. Even though it was a manufacturing issue, not the store's fault, Travis went above and beyond with solving it for us. Bravo! Best customer service ever!

It is a great spot in downtown Fredericton with pleasant staff, a big selection of affordable food, and a fun drinks list (honestly, the best Dave Mathews in Freddie). Definitely recommend the escape rooms upstairs as well!

Our favourite family and birthday party destination! Amazing service, wonderful staff, excellent games, super fun escape rooms, all in one place!

5 of us went (including my 6yr old for VR). He was scared at first and wouldn’t do it. So Travis (owner) took him outside the room with him and they had fries/chicken strips while they watched. He finally convinced him to come in half way through the game and he had great time. 5 start service.

Four of us came from Ottawa and stopped here on a whim and honestly we were blown away. The game selection was insane, the food and drinks were well priced (I especially liked the mana potion), and the service was something I haven't experienced in ages.

I left here wishing I had this same experience back home so I could make it a regular activity

Whatever your night out budget is, make sure to add an extra $50 when you come here because you're gonna walk out with new board games.

Really though, these guys are awesome. Almost any date night usually includes a pop in here for a quick game. The guy working up front (didn't catch his name) can give you the perfect recommendation and explain the rules to seemingly every game quickly and efficiently.

Only areas where I would offer feedback is the cocktail menu is full of sugary sweet drinks. Would love if they expanded a little bit here, maybe coming up with some unique recipes themed around games.

And the lighting. Since the new renovations (which overall look really good) the place is lit up like clinic. Having a slightly warmer bulb would help give it more of that living room vibe, less harsh when coming in from the dark.

All this aside, if you're a board game lover there's real passion in this place and it'll always be a stop for us on a night out.

Always a fun time. Lively atmosphere and friendly staff. Lots of menu and drink options. We almost always leave with a new game in tow!
