Book a table at Prospect’s Board Game Bar & Cafe

While we are a board game cafe the vast majority of our games cater to big kids! There are games suited to children from around the age of 12+ when played with adults. It’s also important to note that we frequently have groups playing adult only games like Cards Against Humanity and what the f*ck so if you’re concerned about adult themes its best to leave the younger ones at home. We also do not permit children under 3 into the cafe for health and safety reasons (those meeples can sure be tasty!) as a licenced venue children must be accompanied at all times.

SOOOOOOOOO MANY! You can have a look at our constantly-updating library here! 😀

We certainly do, whats better than games, friends and a few drinks! As we are a licenced venue all persons under 18 must be accompanied by a fully grown human at all times. We are also legally required to state (in a robot voice) A person under 18 who obtains or consumes liquor on our premises, and the person who supplies liquor to the person under 18, are each guilty of an offence under the Liquor Licencing Act 1997 (Beep Boop).

Not exactly. Parents are certainly welcome to book a table and bring in a few over their small humans (we can host groups up to 6 persons) but to keep noise and disruption down for other guests we only permit one table to be booked per group. The majority of our games require a bit of brain power so we ask that children are supervised and supported by adults at all times.

That sounds a little heightist to me! We don’t discriminate on any grounds including height and age, everyone pays the same $5 cover fee to use the gaming area.

Our friends at Holey Cheezus provide a full menu of grilled sandwiches suitable for a snack or even a meal. Soft drinks, water, coffee, hot chocolate, milkshakes and alcoholic drinks are available for purchase.

We do not permit outside food or drinks to be brought into the cafe. We supply free water and have a range of food and drinks available for purchase. We’re very particular about how we serve food/drinks so as to ensure we minimise any potential damage to the games. For this reason, we also do not allow external coffee cups to be brought in.

All of our grilled cheeses are vegetarian-friendly, we can also make our grills with vegan cheese at no extra cost. Our cheese is all recognised as halal (our cheeses do not use animal rennet). We do not cater for gluten-free diets, we are unable to maintain our quality standards using gluten-free products at this time.

Possibly, maybe, give us a call. Most games are limited to 6 persons but there are some such as Magic Maze, Werewolf and Spyfall that accommodate larger numbers. If you are looking to run a larger session with one of these games have a chat with us and we will see what we can work out.

It is possible to exclusively hire the gaming space for corporate events, game group meet ups, etc. Availability is limited though and usually not permitted during our core trade of Friday and Saturday nights. Give us a call to have a chat.

Unfortunately we are in an older building which is not disability friendly at this time. There is one large step at the entrance to our store and the bathroom facilities are down a short 12 step flight of stairs.

Nom nom no. We have our own in store cafe, bar and grill so there are plenty of food and drinks available, what more could you want? Also we don’t want to risk our liquor licence or 5 star health rating so no external food or drinks are allowed! Please and thank you 🙂

Holey Cheezus provides quite a few vegetarian options in the Grills and Melt ranges. All of the traditional grills in the menu are now also available completely vegan-friendly!

First check the library listing to make sure we have the game. We are expanding the range all the time. When booking a table you can request a specific game or games. We can’t guarantee your request but will certainly do our best, we recommend always having a couple of choices in mind.

Awwwwwwww no. Soz. The BrainHackr team have our own furry friends that we would love to bring in to work, but to keep our 5 star health rating we can’t allow animals to be brought on site. Except of course for service animals, we will always make arrangements to accommodate guide, hearing and assistance dogs.

Uh ohs! Please take care of the games. Any group found to cause negligent damage to our games will be required to purchase the game at the current retail price.

Pretty much all of them (except Amex and Diners – bank no likey).

Unfortunately as we are located in an older building we do not have street level access, customers will be required to ascend one step to enter the store (approximately 20cm in height), use of our single unisex bathroom facility will require use of a short 12 step staircase. We know this isn’t ideal for persons who may not be able to access the store, please click here to read our full disability statement which may provide other options available to you.

You may cancel your booking up to 4 hours before your scheduled session. Cancellations received after this time may result in groups being either refused or placed onto a waiting list for future bookings. We don’t charge for cancellations and you can cancel online at any time using the link emailed in your original confirmation.

The best way to change a booking is to either use the link in the email to cancel and make a new booking, or just give us a call and we can edit the booking for you.
