Remember the old-school arcade, where you could spend hours playing Pac-Man and foosball with your friends after school? The arcade of yesteryear might be long gone, there’s a new kid on the gaming block.

One of the biggest all-in-one entertainment venues in the city, Fortress is ushering in the new era of arcades. It offers PC gaming and VIP console booths for the gamers in the room, and for the more analog guests in your party, there are board games the whole gang will get around (and get competitive over). Here, we pull together the ultimate itinerary for your next night out, from the games to play to the snacks to keep you fueled while you battle it out.

Start with: The Arcade

Throw it back with a visit to the old school Arcade. Inspired by the fluorescent lights of a Japanese gaming centre, the Arcade boasts crowd favourites like Mario Kart and Dance Dance Revolution alongside virtual reality games that’ll keep you entertained for hours.

Refuel at: The Tavern

Gaming is hungry work, especially if you were tearing up the virtual dancefloor playing Mai Mai. Head to The Tavern, Fortress’ fantasy-themed bar and restaurant where you can dine on pub classics like burgers, parmys and pizza alongside novelty cocktails and beer.

Try: Board Games

You might not feel like diving straight back into hardcore gaming after you’ve eaten, so ease yourself back in with some friendly competition in the form of board games. From Jenga to Scrabble or Cluedo, there’s over 100 games to choose from, which means there’ll be something for everyone.

End on: Mario Kart

When the energy starts to drop, there’s one game guaranteed to get it straight back up. Mario Kart is beloved by everyone — you’d be hard-pressed to find an adult not tempted by a lap or two — and it’s the ultimate way to end the night on a high note. Beware though: it might get competitive.
