“Booked the back range for my clan’s Valorant night and the shoutcaster made it feel like a real LAN final. Deshawn’s coaching bumped three of us up a full rank.”
Before You Set Out
Questions from base camp
Walk-ins are welcome for battlestation sessions whenever seats are free, but weekend evenings fill up fast. VR safaris, coaching and private hires should be booked at least 24 hours in advance so we can assign a guide.
The Forge is open every day from 10:00 to 23:00, including bank holidays. The Late-Night Forge Pass runs from 20:00 until close, and the last VR safari of the day starts at 22:00.
We do — our Birthday & Team Raid packages are built for ages 10 and up and include a dedicated host, reserved stations and food. A parent or guardian should stay on site for groups of under-16s.
Absolutely. Every station has USB and 3.5mm passthrough, and our engineer Tomas is happy to help you plug in your own peripherals. Personal accounts stay logged out safely when your session ends.
Street parking around Shoreditch is limited and metered, so most explorers arrive by tube — we’re a seven-minute walk from Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street stations. Secure bike racks are available at the door.
Yes. Our Tuesday “First Expedition” evenings pair newcomers with a guide, cover the basics of our most popular titles and keep the brackets casual. No experience or kit required — just turn up.
