At Gameface, you'll find a range of interactive experiences designed to get everyone involved, whether you're travelling with friends, family, colleagues or fellow supporters.

What Can You Play?

Competitive Social Games

From quick-fire challenges to head-to-head battles, Gameface is built around bringing people together through play.

Puck Off

Using elastic launchers, players fire pucks through gates into the opposing side of the arena. When time runs out, the team with the fewest pucks left on their side wins.

Copy Cat

A pattern flashes up on the screen for just a few seconds, then disappears completely. Working as a team, you'll need to recreate it as accurately and as quickly as possible using your console.

Eye Dropper

Visual prompts appear on screen, referencing flags, logos and famous colour combinations, and players race to cover the correct colours on their personal floor grid. The faster you react, the more points you earn.

Balls. Balls. Balls

Visual prompts appear on screen, referencing flags, logos and famous colour combinations, and players race to cover the correct colours on their personal floor grid. The faster you react, the more points you earn.

Button Up

Buttons light up across the walls and floor, and players sprint, dodge and reach to hit their assigned targets before anyone else does.

Dunk-o-matic

Questions appear with multiple-choice answers, and players throw balls into the holes that correspond with their choice. Your answer only counts if it's still there when the timer ends, which means defending your correct answer is just as important as knocking out someone else's.

Switcheroo

Pull, spin, flick and plunge to turn on all the lights, but one wrong move and you start again.

Tossers

Teams throw double-sided discs onto a shared target board, but each disc can flip to benefit either side depending on how and where it lands.

Pingedy Pong

Players take turns bouncing balls down a shared lane filled with angled panels, each round sets a new challenge whether you're aiming to hit specific panels, avoid others, or chain together the perfect ricochet.

Word Slam

Word Slam is fast-thinking, competitive wordplay with absolutely no time to overthink it. An image prompt appears, and players scramble to grab letter tiles and build a word before anyone else.

Supercharged Shuffleboard

Slide, score and strategise in one of the world's fastest-growing social games. Easy to learn and incredibly competitive, shuffleboard is perfect for groups looking to settle rivalries.
