Gaming parties are the most-booked package for 8 to 14 year olds, and the two neighbourhoods with the most options are Koramangala and Indiranagar. Here is what to look for and how the venue types differ.

Three kinds of gaming venue

• Console lounges: private rooms with 4–8 big screens, PS5 and Switch, usually with pizza included. Good for 10–16 kids.
• VR arenas: 2–4 VR bays with a host who rotates groups. Best for 12+; younger kids tire of the headset quickly.
• Arcade floors: open arcades with a reserved party area. Works for bigger mixed-age groups of 20–40.

Questions to ask before you book

• Is the room private, or is it a reserved corner of a public floor?
• How many screens or bays, and how are kids rotated so nobody waits long?
• What’s included: food, cake cutting, a host, a tournament bracket?
• Can parents sit nearby with chai, or is it kids-only?
