I went with 3 friends to complete the Sherlock Room and had the best fun! The staff were amazing and a huge shout out to Lee for being an absolute trooper and putting up with our shenanigans.
12/10 would recommend if you want to test your friendships and have a fun experience all at the same time. Good luck escaping

Such a fun experience! From start to finish, the puzzles were engaging, the atmosphere was immersive, and the teamwork required made it an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an exhilarating challenge.
Had such a great time here with my friends. We did the witch's potion room together and it was definitely a memorable time. Our game master Rolando did a wonderful job assisting us with the whole experience. Will be back again to try more rooms!
We tried the witch’s potion room and were so impressed by everything! Challenges were so well thought out but didn’t feel impossible to solve. Would 100% come back again and check out the rest of the rooms. Great experience and the game masters were so friendly and helpful- top notch!
Very enjoyable hour in the Sherlock Holmes room. Extremely well done and complex puzzles in a number of linked rooms. We failed to escape, (probably a bit too hard for first-time escapers) but we had a great time. Many thanks also for the friendly welcome and support during the game. We will definitely be back.
Came here a few times with family and have been stunned at how amazing the rooms are! We did Frozen King and Witch's Potion. Design was amazing and the props were so fun to use on the puzzles. Rolando did an amazing job as Game Master with us!
Completed the Jumanji themed room and it was awesome. Just the right level of difficulty and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Tiffany was great and she was very patient and clear with her briefing and ensured that we were clear before we started the session. Will definitely be back for the next room. 👍
So no tomato sauce for the alleged hot dogs. Buns like rubber, food cold, game screen gone before we finished. 340 dollars could of been better spent elsewhere. Never again. Try another place avoid this one.
We had a great experience celebrating my son’s birthday party here. The party coordinator (Michelle) and the hosts Hannah and Jess made everything possible for us even the last minute amendment. Greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
So well organised and everything we needed was sorted. Our host, Baillie did a fantastic job. Cannot speak highly enough of our zone bowling party experience. Thank you 😊
I have started coming here more often than Timezone Northbridge to fuel my maimai addiction as this iPlay's maimai machine is far better maintained and the buttons don't stick as much, and for that I thank you iPlay. However internet connection issues need to be fixed!! internet drops out so often resulting in offline games which means your hard earned results aren't saved, it's very discouraging when I spent hours there and all my games are offline 😔 I hope they can fix it soon
Unfortunately i did not have the best experience at the kingpin and by their staff.
They cut off our game in the middle of the play.
Tables are not cleaned and maintained.
Takes forever to order a drink
Games get stuck while playing them.
I’d rather go to timezone or strike instead of kingpin anyday.
Only a few staff is good apart from it all of them are rude and thinks they own the place and can do whatever they please.

Unfortunately I have to change my review from 5 star to 1 star.. all that good effort made by the ground staff gone down the drain just because a decision from upper management to change the super bonus value from power roll machine to 350.. used to be 1000 then 500 now 350?? I mean you called that a super bonus? It’s now very personal to me coz I just feel like you want people to play and spend money but doesn’t want to give the tickets (it’s a rip off mate).. Kingpin wasn’t used to be like this but new management seems to be making this place a lot worse. Shame on you kingpin.
Don't ever play the claw machines, it’s a scam. Each claw machine was set to +/- 75x $2.80-$5 / game before it starts to pay out. The claws are often weak and unable to pick up the toy before it pays out. The giant claw machine is advised to be set to 200x that equates to $1000 powercredits for $50 toy at Benson’s website where they get most of their stocks from.
The ‘over the edge’ machine prizes were replaced by cheap funko $12-15ea (refer to pic) where it takes a good $50 for players to get one item (it’s no joke). The ‘big rig’ machine is another scam where the rings stuck at the pusher and the manager Elan just placed them on top, leaving a big gap behind so you need to play in order (another 20x swipes) for it to push the rings to the chute ‘Not worth’, guess what the rings then stuck again.
Most of the arcade machines are either broken or not functioning as they should due to poor maintenance.
My family saw a rat in the venue, as well as half eaten chocolate inside the ‘Big Sweet Machine’, quickly advised the staff and they didn't clean the machine when advised nor they stopped people from playing (we were there the entire day). I was told by their staff that upper management took a week to finally clean the machine - not sure it that happened. You won't believe it but check the photos attached.
We used to love Kingpin and spent a lot of money there but don't feel like going anymore especially after seeing their good staff left one by one.

Had a wonderful experience. We celebrated our daughter’s 13th year birthday and all the children had a lovely time. The party coordinator Michelle collected all the required information for the party and completed all the arrangements. Party host Britney was amazing with the children and kept them occupied the whole time. The food was amazing especially the donut cake and fried chicken. Totally worth the money. Thank you!
The gaming area has half the machines out of order, and the ones that work are mostly not included in the package deals. And the package deal is based on time of play. Not value of play. So by the time you work out which ones work and can be played, you've wasted all the time of play you had! = no value! Better just come for bowling and be done with it. Packages are a false economy. Don't fall for it.
I had my first ever escape room experience with Lost Reality and I’m thankful I did because they made my time there so memorable! I love the aesthetic of the room that we did and the puzzles were fun with the right level of challenging. We had a lovely game master, Rolando, help guide us through the escape room. He had a very positive attitude and gave us hints that were helpful but not too obvious. All-in-all I will come back again excited to try the other rooms they have to offer!
Such a bad experience and what a ripped off paid $12 for my daughter to do climbing supposedly for 1 hour but the attendant cut us off for 45 minutes. The most annoying thing is the attendant keeps asking me about the time while attending my child. It is not enjoyable but a disturbance. Management should have a clock around for their own preference or a buzzer to notify the customer that it is about to be due and stop disturbing the customer.
My son and his friend's had a great time and heaps of fun. Taylor was a great help over the phone to help prepare the party. Party room was fantastic and Will was a great host and anything we needed Will was happy to assist us. Great place for a kids party👍
The bar has an amazing setup and creative decorations. I went there for the three-B Thursdays, where you can get a burger, a schooner, and a free bowl for $35. The venue has 8 lanes, a nice bar, a spacious dining area, and a huge arcade for games. Overall, it was a bit disorganized, and most of the staff didn't know how to order the burger and beer as part of the deal. We were initially told to order via a QR code, but then we were provided with cards to order the burger at the reception. However, you still need to go to the bar to get your beer and any additional items you want to add.
There were 2 bartenders at the bar, but they took a long time to serve the customers, even though it wasn't crowded. There are 4 beers on tap to choose from, and they are served at the right temperature, which is great. I selected the Smo'King Signature Burger, and I did see the waitress trying to smoke the burger before serving it, but the smoke gun didn't produce enough smoke, so it ended up being just a regular double patty burger. The burger had a good flavor, but the beef patty was too dry. I didn't expect it to come with a small basket of chips as well.
The burger took a while to be delivered, and I overheard another group of customers complaining that their food was delivered after they finished their game. So, it's best to place your order before you start playing.

It's OK for a bit of fun. Most machines are beaten up and many were not working which is disappointing. Needs some serious TLC to get it back to a better condition.
The time card for play is OK but most of the games you get unlimited go's on is the prize/ticket games which you don't accumulate the tickets on a timed card as it comes with a pre fixed amount. I can understand why they do this but really they should include unlimited play on the bigger arcade games too.
Staff were a bit vacant when asked questions or reported issues with games.
So it's OK but not great really but kids enjoyed it for an hour.

Paid for a $50 card, went in there just now for Father’s Day with my sons to play some games, every second game was not working properly, there was no basketballs in the game, so we couldn’t shoot at all. There was no ping pong balls in the beer pong game, no rings in the ring toss game, I won tickets on another game but they just didn’t get added onto my card. It’s unbelievable how many machines aren’t working.
James loved his party at zone. Mason was such a great host to all the kids and it was so stress free and the kids had a ball. Best party venue.
Our kids love a stop at iPlay Westfield Carousel. It's always such a treat for us to stop here for an hour or so whilst shopping. They offer reasonable packages for the games and have space for kids parties including the climbing walls and bumper car section. Their arcade games machines are modern, updated and well looked after! Don't forget to redeem your tickets for some treats or toys after! 😉
Celebrated a 35th birthday at kingpin this Saturday had the best experience. The staff where amazing and friendly the atmosphere was so much fun. Would like to thank Melissa and Jack especially for making my birthday one to remember. I definitely recommend it for kids and adults for there next event.
So happy to play at iPlay Carousel. I came there to attend my friend's daughter party. So many different games there. It's not just enjoy for kids but we are an adult can enjoyed it too.
Bowling is always fun, no exceptions here. Great lanes, helpful staff and fun arcade games too. For adults the range of bowling balls is not great, and some of the arcade games are average. But kids will definitely love it. We're lucky to have a club like this in suburbia, get down there.
Surprisingly great cocktail we had in Kingpin! The Zombie is great and the bar tender did the flame thingy in front of us which was amazing!!
So many choices to choose from too on the menu (yet not all of them in the ordering app). Hopefully they can more and more customers here so they can have all the options available! Really good experience!
And they have the eat and play policy which will guarantee you a 20 bucks voucher to play at the arcade!!

The experience , organisation from Michael and Will for our boys birthday party was fantastic.
Thank you and highly recommend Zone Bowling Moorabbin 👍

A great place to take adolescent's during school holidays. Great food, bowling and arcade games to play and win prizes. I recommend you make an afternoon of it and plan to order lots of platters with drinks, as kids get hungry when they bowl! The curly fries are the best!
Average experience
They have too many kiosks to play game on and many more other activities but only trouble is the game gets activated when you swipe your card second time not on all kiosks but on many.
We talked to one of the attendants and she gave us free 2 games but we paid double money 💰 for the single/one game.
You can celebrate 🎉 a special day like birthday 🎂 or anniversary over there. Seen people setting up decorations on their own.

A nice place to kill some time before a movie. It's quite a large area with a variety of modern games. There is also a dodgeem bumper car section at the back and an area reserved for parties. Price is decent. You can expect to spend quite a bit here if you are not careful.
