About Hijinx Hotel Canberra
Hijinx Hotel Canberra sits at the Canberra Centre, where Cooyong Street meets Ainslie Avenue, with 15 themed challenge rooms behind a hotel-style lobby. Each room sets a different short task, such as a ball pit, a buzz wire or a block-stacking puzzle, and teams score points against the clock. Rooms take two to six players, and a booking can cover up to 30 people, so larger groups split into teams and compare results afterwards. Players should arrive half an hour before their start time for a briefing, and late arrivals cannot be fitted in. The venue hosts birthdays, hens and bucks parties, corporate events and kids' parties, with function packages for bigger groups and an exclusive hire option for the whole venue. Private karaoke rooms are available by the hour, and Holey Moley's mini golf course shares the same site for groups who want a second round of games. The lobby bar serves classic cocktails, house creations, beer, wine and share plates, though food and drinks stay out of the rooms. Under-18s are welcome until 8pm, and everyone needs ID after that.

Frequently asked questions
How many people can play together?
Each challenge room takes two to six players, and up to 30 people can be booked online in one go. Bigger groups can ask about a function package or hiring the whole venue.
How much does it cost to play?
Five rooms start at $23 from Monday to Wednesday and $26 from Thursday to Sunday, with 10-room bundles also available. Kids, family and accessibility prices are listed separately.
Can kids come to a party here?
Yes. Players aged five and over can take part, and the venue offers kids' party packages. Under-18s may stay until 8pm, and younger children need a responsible adult with them.
Can we eat and drink while we play?
Food and drinks are served at the lobby bar, which offers cocktails, beer, wine and share plates. Nothing can be taken into the challenge rooms, so groups usually eat before or after their games.
What should we wear and when should we arrive?
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, as some rooms have you dashing about to score points. Arrive 30 minutes before your start time for the briefing, as late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
