EDITOR'S REVIEW
Get to know the venue before you go
The Game for Big Kids is a 1,500 square meter adult entertainment center on level B3 of Point Hotel Barbaros, combining karaoke rooms with digital and physical games. VR, simulators, retro arcade and consoles make it much more than a karaoke bar.
Music & programme
Karaoke rooms offer Turkish and international pop and rock; Guitar Hero lets groups play guitar, drums and microphone parts. General area music fits the games. There is no fixed concert or DJ program: karaoke and Guitar Hero follow guests' choices during their booking period. Open until 02:00 on Friday and Saturday.
Atmosphere
Neon and screen lights create a dynamic, game focused atmosphere. Private rooms let groups choose their own pace while different activities contribute to the energy of common areas.
Concept
An indoor entertainment center with packaged experiences: karaoke rooms, VR, racing simulators, console and PC games, Guitar Hero, dancing, retro arcade and food and drink.
Guest profile
Friends who want karaoke and digital games together, birthday groups, corporate teams and adult visitors seeking indoor activities.
Dress code
Casual or sports clothes that let you move freely work best. Closed, nonslip shoes are recommended for simulators, dancing or boxing games.
Customer Review Summary
The Game for Big Kids is an entertainment center for adults that combines console, karaoke, dance, dart, racing, and virtual reality games with a bar and kitchen. Past reviews frequently praise the wide selection of games, the spacious environment, and the helpful staff; visitors often mention that time flies, especially during group outings. However, recent reviews report that the venue has shrunk, some equipment is out of order, and the number of games included in the entrance fee has decreased. Recurring issues include demands for extra fees for many activities, a lack of advance information regarding pricing, and the tense attitude of some staff members. The failure to announce changes in opening hours due to corporate events is also a point of criticism. It is advisable to verify the current game list, age restrictions, operating hours, and what is covered by the fee before visiting.
