Canberra Just Got a Glow Up: Inside Kingpin’s Dazzling New Attractions

  • Written by The Times

Canberra’s entertainment scene just levelled up. Kingpin entertainment, Australia’s home of immersive social fun, has unveiled two brand-new attractions at its Canberra venue and they’re already creating serious buzz. Meet Pixel, the viral grid game that’s transforming the way people play, and King’s Claw, a neon-lit arcade paradise that’s impossible to resist.

Step inside Kingpin Canberra and you’ll find yourself drawn to the glow,  a fully illuminated grid where lights pulse, colours shift, and the competition heats up. This is Pixel, a one-of-a-kind interactive experience that’s as exhilarating to watch as it is to play.

Pixel’s concept is simple yet addictive: players dash across colour-changing tiles to score points, testing their speed, reflexes, and coordination. But its clever design goes deeper than fun; it's built for everyone. With adjustable difficulty levels and multiple game modes, Pixel caters to all ages and abilities, from casual players to adrenaline junkies.

And because the best moments are shared, Pixel is designed for group play, accommodating up to six players at once. Whether it’s friends chasing bragging rights, families bonding over laughter, or colleagues sparking some friendly rivalry, Pixel’s high-energy format guarantees a glow-filled good time.

Not far from the action, Kingpin’s King’s Claw zone bursts with light, sound, and nostalgic energy. The neon-drenched space is home to rows of claw machines that shimmer in a vibrant arcade setting, each offering new prizes and an exclusive bonus mini-game for extra excitement.

This space captures the perfect balance between old-school arcade charm and modern, Instagram-worthy flair, a reminder that sometimes the best entertainment is the one that gets you off your phone and into the moment.
Beyond the new attractions, Kingpin Canberra remains the city’s premier destination for premium play. From bowling and karaoke to escape rooms and laser tag, it’s a playground for adults and kids alike. Add in gourmet food, craft cocktails, and a curated spirits list, and it’s easy to see why Kingpin is the go-to spot for date nights, parties, and unforgettable group experiences.

With Pixel and King’s Claw lighting up the scene, Kingpin has officially cemented itself as Canberra’s ultimate entertainment hub, a place where competition, connection, and creativity come alive under one dazzling roof.
