• 1Beware horrid experience and service

  Well, since my Google, we went on the fourth one of our children couldn’t go on even though she met the hight requirement at home. On my ticket it says I booked both go karting and Pacman I get there just to be told that Pacman hasn’t been booked and that should’ve been provided a link which I hadn’t. I went through the booking process with them to show them that she link wasn’t provided. The whole experience was horrendous. I took four kids for a birthday experience. One couldn’t use anything. The other three Man managed to get on go karting but were not as happy. I spent most of the time being sent around into circles and then to be told to contact an email that doesn’t respond to you. I paid a significant amount ofmoney and only three could go in the go-karting. They also cost to get into Manchester town Centre parking et cetera they can’t book on site. They can’t help you. They can’t really do anything apart from sending you around the circle and then give you a card and assure you that everything should be okay and it isn’t no one’s responding to the emails and I did see some negative reviews on Google but they’ve been removed. Also added to the negative review and mine has been removed as well. Does a recent one come up of a guy who measured his son and he’s at the same issue trying get a refund from this place is absolutely ridiculous. It should be done there and then yet they wouldn’t do it and no one’s responded to the e-

• 1Really Disappointed

  Such a disappointment travelled 5HRS from wales to Manchester paid for Crystal Maze - Pac Man and Chaos Karts - Crystal Maze Fab! Then arrived at venue to tell me they had cancelled our booking in favour of a corporate one and this happens often by HO. This was made worse as two weeks prior a member of staff had called me to say could i move my slot so they could accommodate it an hour earlier which i had no problem with then they cancelled it without telling me. Was given an address to email to complain as they couldnt do anything on site no refunds! They came back and offered re book and refund i thought ok - Have now been trying to book that re- book for two weeks no one reply’s or they start the process and disappear. Daughter 18th ruined hotel and accommodation for trip unecessary - Online Chat No Reply - Support Team No Reply - Got a reply from Owner company partial date confirmed and no reply again! Honestly what a waste of money! They could have easily turned this around and they haven’t.

• 1Poor would not recommend

  Poor all round. Dot tracking way off, mine and my daughter's dot kept freezing. My daughters pack has to be swopped. Staff said the dot tracking has been off for months, and still not fixed, such a shame. When I complained to the front desk they just apologised, no offer to come again once tech issues sorted.

• 2Used to be great downstairs - unplayable now it's upstairs

  I never got round to writing a review when we first visited a year or two ago. It would have been 5 stars for a well run and unique experience lasting about 45 minutes after the intro. We returned today to find that Pacman has now been moved upstairs to make space for the Chaos Karts. The new 'venue' is about 1/6 of the size and only lasted 20 minutes. That would have been bad enough, but technical issues with how the game is projected onto the floor made it borderline unplayable. You no longer just step on the dots/food to eat them around the Pacman board, you now have to move around to move a bigger dot (representing your Pacman) around the maze - the dot going over the smaller food dots or ghosts interacts with them. Less fun, but the dot you're controlling is in a different place relative to your feet depending on how far away from the centre of the room you are. In the middle of the space, it's just under your feet how it should be. At the edges it's ~1m away making it unintuitive to control (particular for younger players) and the outer edges of the food dots inaccessible. It's a mess basically and ends up just looking like people running around through the 'walls' trying to work out how to control their Pacman correctly. Now not worth the money or time to visit until they sort this out and hopefully move it back downstairs to its original location.

• 1⭐ WHEELCHAIR USERS – AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! NOT ACCESSIBLE!

  ⭐ **WHEELCHAIR USERS – AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! NOT ACCESSIBLE!** Absolutely unacceptable to advertise this experience as **wheelchair accessible when it isn't**. We booked PAC-MAN for 8 people for my son’s 18th birthday. I specifically checked accessibility before booking so his wheelchair-using brother could join in with everyone. We arrived to find PAC-MAN is now on the **first floor**, the **lift wasn't working**, and the only access was **stairs**. His wheelchair weighs around **150kg**. We ended up having to carry the wheelchair upstairs and then carry him separately just so he wasn't excluded from his brother's birthday. How can a company advertise an experience as wheelchair accessible and allow a family to book on that basis when a wheelchair user cannot even get to it safely? Poppy, Ayla and James were absolutely amazing and did everything they possibly could to help us and make the birthday special. They are a credit to the company and none of this was their fault. But as far as accessibility goes, **AVOID, AVOID, AVOID** until they can actually provide the wheelchair access they advertise.

About Manchester

Manchester, the former cotton capital of north-west England, is a city of red-brick mills, canals, football, music and big museums.

Manchester grew in the nineteenth century as the centre of the cotton trade, and the warehouses, mills and canals of that age still shape the city. The Gothic Revival Town Hall by Alfred Waterhouse dominates Albert Square, the John Rylands Library holds a Victorian reading hall of carved stone and stained glass, and Castlefield has a Roman fort beside the canal basin. The Science and Industry Museum stands at the oldest surviving passenger railway station in the world.
