Had so much fun with friends! We booked for the game show and it was such a blast! Will definitely go back 😁

Honestly the best bottomless brunch in chch. Epic pizza, drinks are good, and you get to play games the entire time! I was able to book in very easily, and they made the extra effort for our dietary requirements. Logan and his team know how to keep the people entertained, definitely 100% worth it!
