Fairgame

Fantastic experience. The bar is situated opposite the canal. When you enter you have 30 minutes to sit and enjoy some food or drink before your session. Once inside the game area, you get 75 minutes to complete two rounds on each game. The experience is well organised and great fun for groups or couples. You also get the chance to win prizes if you score high enough on some of the games. I highly recommend this bar.

A overall fun (but physically draining) experience trying some fairground games back at my childhood! ID check at the front door and you then get to register your group scanning the QR code from the email which then print out the game cards which you have to scan at every game. Bear in mind the games actually don’t start till half an hour after the booking which you can store your stuff away at the cloakroom, grab some drinks and walk around etc. Like other reviews mention you get 9 games to play which you can do any order but once you start a game, you only get two chances to play (one closely followed by another). Some games allow you to test out before scanning the game card and trying, like “Lawn of the Dead” and “Alley Hoop” which I should have done. Pretty fun competing with my friend and my favourite is definitely the racing horse “Final Furlong” which you get to also compete with other players too. Worth mentioning various prizes can be won if you get high scores on certain games and I did see several team get their Fairgame bears. Downside though is I wish there are better instructions on certain games, like I was totally struck on the shooting game “Phoney Island” and have no clue how to shoot the targets as there are no visual clues where I am shooting. A staff did try to show me but I still didn’t get it afterwards, and that slightly ruined my experience of the game as I have no idea how that works.
