🕑 2.5 to 4 hours👶 Best for ages 5-16.

Pro Tips

  1. 1.Visit on weekday afternoons (Tuesday through Thursday) to avoid weekend crowds and birthday party groups that pack the venue.
  2. 2.Purchase a power card with gaming credits rather than playing individual games, as combo packages offer better value and the card works across all games.
  3. 3.The venue is on the 4th floor of Infiniti Mall, so arrive early to navigate mall parking and security checks, which can take 15-20 minutes during peak hours.
  4. 4.Set a ticket-winning goal with your kids beforehand to manage expectations at the prize counter, as higher-value prizes require significant tickets.
  5. 5.English-speaking staff are available, and game instructions are in English, making it easy for international visitors to navigate without language barriers.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM offer the best experience with minimal crowds and full access to all games. Avoid weekends and evenings when local families and birthday parties make the venue significantly busier and noisier.

What to Know

Power cards start around 500-1000 rupees ($6-12 USD) and can be recharged throughout your visit. The venue is located inside Infiniti Mall with ample parking (additional charge), food courts nearby, and full accessibility for strollers and wheelchairs.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. Expect larger crowds during school holidays (April-May and December), Diwali season (October-November), and major Indian festivals when families are out celebrating.

Nearby Eats

Infiniti Mall houses numerous family-friendly options including McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and local Indian chains on the food court level. For a sit-down meal, try Mainland China or Smoke House Deli, both in the same mall with kid-friendly menus.
