In the spirit of the holidays, CG’s Out Of Office (OOO) series makes a comeback-this time, we’re heading down to ME Cafe & Games’ newest Chinatown outlet for some festive fun and friendly adrenaline rushes.
Although the Editorial team is currently knocked out by the flu (typing this with a weighted blanket and a fever patch), the Marketing team valiantly went in our stead.
Meeting: CG’s Best Gamer title
3 November 2025 / 1pm–4pm / ME Cafe & Games @ Lucky Chinatown
Attendees: Marketing Team (4 hyperactive girlies)
Agenda:
• Relieve pent-up (work) stress
• Discover everyone’s strengths and weaknesses
• Hopefully win a round of Mario Kart
Notes:
1pm
Glacier: The moment we stepped into the game cafe, our jaws literally dropped- there were just so many games available. A massive dance floor that turned out to be a “Floor is Lava” game, a full-on archery site, and even cosy resting pods for a power nap after all that chaos.
Although all the games looked exciting and tempting, we sprinted straight to the Floor is Lava-because honestly, what better way to kick off our arcade adventure than with an adrenaline-packed, heart pounding warm-up?
And the best part: if there’s no one waiting in line for the game, you can go again (and again) and play as many rounds to your heart’s content. It’s a great way to burn those calories and your competitive spirit at the same time!
2pm
Nicole: Personally, I really enjoyed archery a lot, especially if it is in a central location. It’s hard to find indoor spots for archery unless you travel all the way to ulu corners in Singapore. What makes it even better is how you can control the distance between yourself and the target board, making it the perfect setup for archery newbies.
However, if you miss the target (oops), your arrow will fall into the restricted area, where you’ll have to call a staff member for assistance. Time flew by as fast as the arrows with archery. I had a blast and I’m so glad to have discovered such an accessible spot for games, rest, and mini sports.
3pm
Selena: I thought the resting pods were awesome, comfy and super spacious. Besides just resting, you can also play Nintendo Switch games within the pods. The pods can comfortably fit up to four poeple, with two cosy sofas inside making it perfect for chilling, gaming or just vibing with friends.
This would be my favourite spot that I could happily spend my entire day in. For introverts tagging along with friends, this is a perfect spot I would recommend for recharging their energy while still soaking in all the fun around you.
4pm
Keith: Exclusive to the Chinatown outlet, you can also try out cultural workshop stations like Chinese Calligraphy and Han Embroidery. While the Chinese Calligraphy station is free, the Han Embroidery station comes with an additional fee.
Heads up-the embroidery station is currently closed for now, but will be available for bookings starting 15 November 2025. Prices will be announced closer to the date (save the date!).
When we first stepped into the cafe, we were all hyped for the arcade games and Floor is Lava, but honestly, the rest of the game options were just as fun and addictive. With so many exciting activities and game options available, we felt like we were kids again who couldn’t stop playing!
Key Findings:
• Don’t eat any heavy meals before coming
• The games can be just as tiring as sports
• Push yourself to try different games
Actionables:
• Book the one-day pass instead in future
• Look out for future OOO locations (send us your suggestions on Telegram)
Conclusion:
If you think Singapore has run out of fun activities or innovative arcades, ME Cafe & Games is here to prove you wrong. This spot will totally blow your expectations. Grab your friends, leave your adulting worries at the door, and get ready to play, laugh and let loose like never before.
