    Visiting this board game Cafe is always a highlight of a trip to Victoria, we've been coming here for years with a "hiatus" due to a global pandemic... But in our absence the Cafe has continued to thrive and their playable game selection, after a small cover charge, is excellent mix of kids games, family games, and deeper strategy games. There is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy them with friends and family. They have a large selection of snacks, drinks, i e cream and sandwiches for purchase of you get hungry as well. They also have a wide selection of new games to purchase, enjoy that exchange rate if you're American. Clean and well stocked, though may be a bit noisy at peak times, highly recommend if you like boardgames.

    We went to Interactivity as an alternative plan to our snow day! We enjoyed several hours of board games and some delicious london fog. They also sell games but think they can expand their available game selections a bit. Some of the cards in some of the boxes were also a bit damaged so some regular inspections would help! The lighting for one of their rooms was also a little dark and could do with some lighting up to make it a more enticing environment for people to stay and enjoy longer. The bar side of the restaurant was much better with the open windows. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but some room for improvement.

    This is a great venue for fun. There is an extremely large selections of games that can be played, but if you are not sure what to pick they have very knowledgeable staff who are able to pick games based on your group and provide easy instructions on how to play. There are two sections, one of which include a bar so that you can enjoy a wobbly pop while gaming. The food is by no means gourmet, but it is made fresh and the staff are very accommodating to customizing your order. I ordered the Grilled Cheese sandwich with every type of cheese they had, which included brie. 😋 It tasted great, but could have used a little salt to bring out the flavour of the cheese. Overall, I had a very enjoyable experience here and would not hesitate to return.

    This board game cafe was a wonderful experience for my sister and I to stumble upon while spending the day in Victoria. The milkshake and latte we had were very tasty. I wish we had a place like this close to home.

    Mango milkshake made to perfection. Not too sweet, just right. Tropical taste in our dead of winter

    What a wonderful place, incredible staff, and unforgettable experience. If I could rate this place with more than five stars, I definitely would. For $7 per person, you can stay for as long as you want in this board game paradise! The options are endless and if you're feeling lost, the staff members are always eager to help. If this wasn't enough, their homemade milkshakes are some of the best I've ever tried! Their menu includes many options for all ages. My only warning is that you will definitely be wanting to go back. We had an incredible time!

    Had the most amazing experience. The customer service was really good and there were lots of game options. Loved how you could chose between board games, video games, and VR! Also the food is just amazing, it came hot and was so tasty! Cannot recommend this place enough

    One of the to go places for hanging out with friends. They have loooots of game to choose from. Their staff are also so friendly and you can ask for suggestions for games. I would recommend getting a chocolate shake from them, it’s very awesome. They also have a food section on the side and you can order foods while you are playing. In general, it’s a wonderful experience here every time.

    Super fun experience if you go with the right people. We were able to test out some games before deciding to buy it. The staff and participants are friendly, the food is good, and the atmosphere is relaxed and cozy. Be prepared for your seat to get a bit incomfortable after a while, though.

    A welcoming and lovely board game cafe that I will visit again and again and again. They're always super helpful to me and and asking if I need any recommendations while staring at the board games haha! And also they can help you get your first game started too. They're really well staffed to help everyone.

    Very good place to hang out with friends or you can even play lots of 2 player games which is great for a date night. They serve food and drinks which makes it easy to stay for as long as you want. I recommend the candy and popcorn with a milkshake. There are more games to play than you could ever get through, lots are easy to learn and some are a bit more complicated, the staff are very helpful when you have questions. I have definitely walked out buying a game or two. Highly recommend this place!

    I went in today looking for a gift for someone and was thankful for the knowledge the person who helped me had about the different games in the store. He was friendly, asked me questions about what I was looking for and then gave me 4-5 recommendations based on his experience playing each one. This place has games you can play but also games you can buy. I highly recommend it!
