    We celebrated an 11th birthday at GamePlaza, and it was a wonderful experience. The kids enjoyed the huge selection of games, and the place is spacious which made everything more comfortable. The owners were very nice and accommodating, and the whole place was clean and well maintained.

    Had so much fun here! Collection is excellent, and very well organised with taste. There’s something from every category of gaming. Most everything can be played two player, very nice for couples as well. We met the owner too, he’s very nice and passionate about games. 10/10 would come again whenever I’m in Zurich!
