Quiz Rooms in Surfers Paradise

Quiz rooms in Surfers Paradise are points games, where small teams rush between physical and brain-teasing challenges rather than answer a host's trivia. Prison Island Gold Coast and Hijinx Hotel Surfers Paradise both work this way, though they feel quite different on the night.

Where the two Surfers Paradise games part ways:

• Theme: Prison Island Gold Coast is a floor of 39 prison cells, while Hijinx Hotel Surfers Paradise dresses 10 rooms up as a very odd hotel.
• Tasks: expect speed, balance and logic in the cells, and ball pits, a giant floor piano and hoops at Hijinx.
• Format: Prison Island teams choose their order and can retry a cell, while Hijinx bookings come in sets of five or ten rooms.
• Team size: two to five per team at Prison Island, and two to six per room at Hijinx.
• Price: Hijinx starts From $23 per person, and Prison Island lists no headline price, so ask for your group.
