LinkedinReady, set, go! Family-fun in abundance at Bracknell’s new free-play gaming centre
School’s out! And, as the summer holidays kick off, High Score opened its latest location at The Lexicon shopping centre in Bracknell. At the launch weekend on the 20th and 21st July eager kids (and adults) were treated to a meet and greet with Mario & Luigi and were invited to Spin the Wheel for prizes. Inside, a gaming wonderland awaited providing endless fun for all ages.
High Score is packed with over 100 games that are all set to free play which means you can have unlimited goes for the duration of your 60-minute session without the need to keep feeding the machines with more coins. All the amusements are rated under 18 so it is a safe environment for the whole family to get involved.
Games range from retro classics to modern titles with an area dedicated to under 7s that includes fairground amusements and air hockey. Legendary favourites such as Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Candy Crush all feature, and as a child of the 80’s, I loved reminiscing with a game of Pac Man. Avoiding those pesky ghosts and filling up on flashing dots was elevated by playing it on a giant floor-to-ceiling screen.
My six-year-old son was hooked on Harpoon Lagoon which has up to four players so we could all try our luck at catching the biggest fish. He was easily able to get the hang of this game and even caught a shark for top points. As a huge Nerf fan, he also had a blast shooting targets for high scores at the Nerf Arcade machine.
Our whole family went head-to-head on the multiplayer racers with my husband thrashing me on both the superbike and supercar leader boards. However, I managed to redeem myself by pulling off some sick tricks on the Winter X Games SnoCross.
The price for a 60-minute session is £11.95 per person which is great value for unlimited play. A wealth of games and controlled sessions meant that there was no need to queue for any machines and we thoroughly enjoyed an hour of continuous action.
