Not just your average arcade, Archie Brothers in the heart of Surfers Paradise is a game-filled wonderland where kids can have fun, and grown-ups can have fun like kids again. Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq shares its home in The Galaxy Centre at the Funlab precinct with mini golf haven Holey Moley and the ever-‘grammable experience Hijinx Hotel. The enormous 3279-sqm venue opened its doors in December 2022, allowing up to 410 fun-seekers to adventure between three bars, 72 arcade machines, six bowling lanes, ten immersive game rooms and 18 holes of putt putt.
To get started on the fun and games, it’s as easy as rocking up and putting some money on your Archie Brothers playing card. You choose the amount and Archie Brothers will throw in a little more. You can pay $30 to get $35, $50 to get $65, $70 to get $90 or $100 to get a whopping $150. Then it’s you and your mates unleashed on Archie Brothers’ biggest venue yet, with the game floor boasting 72 arcade machines. You can shoot like Lebron on NBA Hoops, play life-sized Mario Kart, take out your frustration on Whack a Clown or go old-school and test your skills on Space Invaders Frenzy. You can even try your luck winning a big fluffy toy for your date on the claw machine (ah, the romance)! From there, you can challenge your friends to a game of ten-pin bowling or chase, spin and bump your mates around at the dodgem cars.
Once your thirst for competition has been quenched, you can relax and refuel over at the bar. Wrap your mitts around a burger filled with smoked-beef brisket, mozzarella, slaw, burger sauce and Victorian dill pickles, or try the pork hotdog with double-smoked cheesy kransky, dijon mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise. If you’re sharing, fill the table with pizzas, onion rings, chips and chicken wings. Wash it all down with a mouth-watering Candy Stand strawberry milkshake or try one of the other-wordly cocktails on offer. The fairy-floss-topped Circus Sour features Cointreau, Chambord, lychee, cranberry, bubble gum, lemon and egg white, while the Pop Til You Drop boasts a mix of Fireball, butterscotch, apple juice, maple popcorn, bitters and whipped cream, all served in a popcorn box.
