Battle Your Mate Or A Date At This Vibey Local Arcade

5th Jun 2023

  • Archie Brothers Gold Coast

If you’ve ever wanted to put your relationships to the test, a date at Funlab’s latest arcade will give you the perfect opportunity to stir the pot and earn some bragging rights. Situated in the middle of Surfers Paradise, Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, is a giant arcade stocked full of activities.

With close to half a rugby field worth of space, this is the biggest game floor available across all of the Archie Brothers venues. There are more than 70 arcade games that will put your skills to the test, plus six bowling lanes, dodgem cars, virtual rides, and arguably most importantly, some sweet prizes up for grabs. There’s never been a better time to limber up and dive into a life-sized round of Mario Kart with your mates. Plus, if you want even more, you can head next door to the immersive Hijinx Hotel.

With so much to choose from you’re guaranteed to find something that will spark your competitive edge at Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq. Plus, there are plenty of activities suitable for all ages. So, whether you’re entertaining the kids or are a big kid yourself, Archie Brothers has something for everyone.

But the carnival chaos doesn’t stop at the games, just wait until you hit the bar. Here you’ll find creative drinks, such as the Pop Till You Drop, featuring Fireball, butterscotch, apple juice, bitters, popcorn, and whipped cream. Our other highlight on the menu is the Candy Stand, a fairy floss-covered strawberry shake with a shot of white rum and Frangelico, topped with a giant lollipop. Beer, wine, and spirits are also on offer, plus a decent selection of non-alcoholic options if that's more your style. Meanwhile, the kitchen will be dishing out all the classic crowd favourites including old-school sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, pizzas, and wings to help fuel a winning streak.

If you’re still looking to settle some scores after a competitive round of Archie Brothers games, you can also smash out 18 holes at Holey Moley or try your luck at the Hijinx Hotel. The venues are all super conveniently housed in the same precinct, so why not make a day of it and explore it all? The only warning we’ll give you is while yes, you’re going to make (or break) some relationships and friendships, be sure you secure a spot pronto because these venues book out fast.
