Hijinx Hotel Chermside

Hijinx Hotel Chermside is an indoor challenge experience at Westfield Chermside, built around 10 themed rooms where teams work together, complete tasks and chase a place on the daily leaderboard. A session assigns players a set of five rooms, with a briefing before each challenge and a time limit to score as many points as possible. Each experience runs for about 30 minutes, and rooms are designed for groups of two to six people.

The rooms are deliberately varied and highly visual. Depending on the challenge, you might encounter ball pits, dazzling lights, a giant floor piano, giant Scrabble-like games, upside-down corridors or carnival-inspired chaos. Some activities involve moving around, so the venue recommends clothing that is comfortable for getting active. It is more energetic group game than serious workout, making it a practical choice for friends, families, birthday celebrations and casual team outings.

There is more to the venue than the challenge rooms. Guests can settle in at the bar before or after playing, with cocktails, beer, wine and non-alcoholic options, alongside pizzas, tacos, burgers, platters and sides. Food and drinks are served and consumed in the bar area rather than inside the game rooms. Private karaoke rooms are also available, and the venue suggests pairing a visit with Holey Moley Golf Club for another activity nearby in the same broader entertainment outing.

Hijinx Hotel Chermside suits groups looking for something more interactive than a standard meal or cinema visit, including first dates, family outings and nights with mates. Children over five can play when accompanied by a responsible adult, while under-18s are permitted at the Chermside venue until 9pm. Booking ahead is recommended because walk-in availability is limited, and players should arrive 30 minutes before their session; late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
