Challenge Point is an amazing, immersive gaming concept! Teams of 2–6 people compete in 6 crazy mini-gameshow style challenges with the aim of earning as many points as possible. Each mini game lasts 5 minutes; the whole experience is 70–90 minutes. Top-scoring teams face the final round (“The Point”) with a chance to win prizes.

Imagine The Crystal Maze meets The Cube, add a Mission-Impossible laser maze, a crazy golf course, and Supermarket Sweep—and you’re halfway there. It’s great fun for most people.

You can have 2-6 players per team, and you only play with your group (not strangers!). We can accomodate up to 7 teams per slot Monday-Thursday and 8 teams Friday-Sunday. If you’re the only team playing in a time slot, you’ll have a points target to hit!

If you have more than 6 players, we suggest splitting into smaller teams and booking these back to back on our website, making sure you select the same date and time. For example, if you have 9 players, you should split into one team of 5 and another of 4. You can also give us a call to book in on 0161 923 4669.

Players must be age 6+. Under-16s need an accompanying adult (18+), who must stay on site but doesn't have to play if they don't want to. If you opt out of a mini-game, you can still cheer from the room.

Both! We mix mental, physical and skill-based mini-games. You can choose to sit out any challenge and still provide advice or support.

Wear whatever’s comfortable. Some games are physical—please avoid heels and loose clothing (it can affect your score).

Six mini-games (5 minutes each). Highest-scoring team earns a bonus final round!

Wheelchair users or players with reduced mobility can play a selection of the games with limited movement needed, though some of our more physical games such as the laser mazes or mini golf might be a bit more difficult. Ultimately it's up to the comfort of the player - give us a call or have a chat to our staff when you get here if you need any accomodations.
