Timezone VivoCity Is Back with a New Level of Fun!

If you’ve been missing the big Timezone at Vivocity with its bumper cars and indoor bowling alley since it closed for renovations, the wait is over! After a hiatus that left everyone (me included) itching for their favourite arcade fix, it’s back with a fun-fuelled vengeance – and a facelift, so let’s get into the highlights!

A Fresh New Layout

The first thing you’ll notice when you walk in is the refreshed look and an entirely new layout – the arcade is now sectioned by game themes, making it easier to navigate! Whether you’re a claw machine enthusiast, a racing game junkie or have an addiction to first-person shooter games, there’s a dedicated space just for you!

Timezone Vivocity: Bumper cars
Just seeing this is enough to make me want to play!

Everyone remembers the bumper cars at Timezone Vivocity – they were one of the highlights! However, they were always tucked away behind a wall, hiding the fun, but with this renovation, they’ve come out of hiding and are now front and centre!

It is now an open-concept attraction, so you won’t miss the action or the laughter. It really adds a new dimension of constant laughter and joy to the whole experience where you can see other people having fun on the bumper cars. And speaking from experience, just seeing it is enough to have you raring to try it yourself!

Timezone Vivocity: Mini bowling
It’s more difficult than it looks.

Another big attraction at Timezone Vivocity that’s back is the mini bowling alley! A favourite for birthday parties and dates, I’m very happy to see it return – there are endless memories of excitement from strikes and heartbreak from gutterballs wrapped up here! While it hasn’t undergone too many big changes with the overhaul, it’s a definite welcome addition back into the Timezone Vivocity fold. 

New Games Await!

Timezone has now cleverly sectioned its games, so you can dive straight into your preferred genre! Claw machines are positioned right at the entrance, inviting you to test your skills (or luck). Racing fans can head to their own corner, with games like the all-new Apex Rebels, a classic racing game with an innovative boost mechanic! For the purists, there is a section dedicated to classic arcade games that promises nothing but nostalgia!

Timezone Vivocity: The Storm
You’ll forget you’re even in an arcade!

To add to the fun, there are new additions to the VR game lineup! Dive into the newest VR game, Spongebob Dynamic Duo, a hilarious adventure through Bikini Bottom! If that’s not your speed, get lost in the goofy chaos of the Rabbids VR or be enthralled by the twists and turns of The Storm, where you use your hand movements to control the game!!

Timezone Vivocity: Drakons Realm Keepers
Action-packed and adrenaline-pumping!

Talking about brand new games, Drakons Realms Keepers offers an interactive experience where the whole machine moves like you’re really in the game, simulating you riding on the back of a dragon! It’s an engaging fantasy adventure that promises to transport you to another world without needing to leave your seat. 

Lastly, one of the most popular new games is Air Combat, a new fighter jet simulator! Incredibly, your input on the joystick controls the movement of the entire game rig, so it immerses you in the feeling of being in an aircraft! Air Combat is exclusive to Timezone Vivocity, so head down today to try it out!

Bonding Through Games

Timezone Vivocity: Air hockey
It’s the perfect place to bond!

A big focus at Timezone now is on games that encourage both collaboration and competition, since coming to an arcade with friends isn’t just about solo play; it’s about having fun together! Whether you’re teaming up or squaring off, every game at Timezone Vivocity is designed to enhance your bonding experience! 

Games such as Taiko and Maimai offer thrilling rhythm battles, while air hockey sets your competitive spirit ablaze. Plus you can experience the four-person teamwork action of HALO: Fireteam Raven here for those looking for a little more cooperative play!

Timezone Vivocity

And that’s it! Whether you’re a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, Timezone Vivocity offers something for everyone. It’s more than just an arcade; it’s a destination for fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories! From the vibrant neon lights to the immersive VR experiences, every corner of Timezone Vivocity is full of entertainment and the possibility for new memories!

As an arcade frequenter myself, I’ll definitely be a regular again at Timezone Vivocity now that it’s reopened, and I hope to see you there! If you’re looking for more information, you can find it at the Timezone website, or on their official Instagram page
