Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs

Here's a few answers to some frequently asked questions:

We definitely recommend booking during evenings, weekends and holidays as we do get busy and have limited table space.   You can book online or contact us for help.

In-store game passes are $5 per person with a $5 minimum spend on food & drinks, or $10 per person without a food & drink purchase

Generally yes, however we do not allow guests to bring in games we already have in our library, games that involve gambling or games that have offensive content.  If you're unsure contact us to discuss.  Standard game pass rates still apply.

You cannot bring outside food and drink in (except a cake – see below).  We have a full range of tasty food and drink options including vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options.

You can bring your own cake however we charge $1 per person.  We'll keep it chilled, light the candles and bring it out with cutlery and plates.

Yes!  We have games for people of all ages and our game library is laid out to make it easy for you to choose an age appropriate game to enjoy!

You're welcome to join in store for as long as you'd like but please note bookings are for up to two hours.  This is usually enough time to play most games in our library but if you need more time for any reason we can extend for a further 2hrs.  Standard game pass rates apply.

In order to rent games you must be a Meepleopolis Meeple or Meeple+ member.  You can sign-up for Membership on our website. You may rent a maximum of 3 games at any one time.  Rental is charged per week (7 days) with rental available from 1 week up to 8 weeks for each rental booking.  Games must be rented online through your account. Games must be picked-up and dropped-off at our store (we do not post rental games).
