A little update from our shelves…
Over the past couple of weeks, restocks have been arriving steadily, so if you were chasing a game late last year that had sold out, there’s a good chance it’s now back in stock or arriving very soon. And if you’re looking for something specific and can’t see it online, feel free to get in touch and we’ll check for you.
Alongside the restocks, new titles are starting to land as well. Recent arrivals include Endeavor: Deep Sea, Fromage, Ham Helsing, and Magical Athlete, with more new releases expected to roll in over the next 2–4 weeks.
To make room for what’s coming, our online clearance section is still running, with hundreds of games discounted by 15–50%. If you enjoy a good browse or the occasional bargain, it’s well worth a look.
Take a wander through the shop when you have a moment:

Today we wrapped up three days of NeuroQuest Adventures with 11 incredible kids.
They began shy and left with new friends, confidence, and the shared adventure of arriving in a village under siege. They first built themselves, then the world around them, surviving the mines and the trials of Pondai before defending the village from invading hoards.
Huge thanks to Nathan Campbell, who built the Minecraft world over two years, and Wilj, our neurodiverse teaching support. A big thank you to the Christchurch City Council for making this possible by funding the program, and to Stepping Stone Trust for providing such amazing facilities - right down to the epic gaming chairs!
Most of all, we celebrate the kids and families. It was great to have whānau engage and share the experience, making the space feel even more connected. The biggest shout-out goes to those young adventurers. It’s hard to capture the energy in a photo, but the engagement was magic. We’re so proud of what you achieved over the last 3 days!! 🧡🧡🧡 ...

What a way to wrap up our Act & Adventure holiday programme.
The last three days have been loud, joyful, creative, and absolutely packed with imagination. Even with a very wet and cold “summer” outside, the room was bursting with energy thanks to a group of kids who threw themselves wholeheartedly into mystery, adventure, and romantic comedy storytelling.
We explored stories through drama games, live-action role-play, art, and tabletop play. There were custom-made accessories, memory mosaics, bold character choices, and plenty of laughter along the way. Today’s LARP session, complete with costumes and big personalities, was a highlight and the photos say it all.
And yes… plenty of tabletop games were enjoyed along the way of course 😀
A huge thank you to Ali, who poured an incredible amount of energy and care into designing and running the programme. The new content she created was a massive hit, and the kids absolutely ran with it.
And to the kids themselves: thank you for bringing such enthusiasm, creativity, and noise in the very best sense of the word. You turned a gloomy week into something genuinely special, and it was a privilege to play alongside you.
We’re heading into the weekend tired, smiling, and very grateful. 🥰 ... See MoreSee Less
