The Last Survivors

The Last Survivors is an action packed zombie survival horror experience. This post apocalyptic zombie event is set in a fully functioning Secret Nuclear Fallout Bunker. The experience will see you not only taking down zombies but collecting video game type collectibles and searching for ever decreasing ammo...

Amazing experience, loved it. Quick orientation and in we go. It's absolutely terrifying, seriously intense and a lot of fun. If you play COD Zombies or watch zombie films and think"Yeah, I'd be fine" then this is your chance to prove it!

We had a great time at Clue HQ. They kindly let us book same day and our gamemaster had clearly stayed late just so we could play which was much appreciated! Gameplay was very original and we really enjoyed the little twist and turns. Thanks again for fitting us in and thank you to lovely gamemaster who stayed and gave us a great game!

Quasar Harlow

Quasar Harlow offers the ultimate laser tag experience for all ages. We have a bar for adults, and a restaurant for the whole family.

Reviewed By Qu2582

We had an 8th birthday party here, first group in. Emily, jack and kem were wonderful. Great party, staff helpful, informative and really took all the strain out of sorting a party for 11 screaming 8-11 year old girls. Drinks for adults reasonably priced, food for children good quality. Seems a little expensive when booking, however, worth every penny. Definitely going again for future parties. Marshals Emily and Jack are patient and great with the kids, Kem seems to do everything you need to make the party run smoothly. Thank you Quasar.

Valhalla Lanes is Essex’s first indoor axe throwing venue. Come and try your hand at the age old Viking sport of axe throwing. You will be transported back in time with our Viking decor. And once you start throwing and hitting the targets, you will find it hard to stop. It’s great fun for guys, girls and older kids. Come and join us at Valhalla Lanes and unleash your inner Viking.

Had a session at Valhalla lanes today with my other half and her parents, have to say it was one of the best days out I’ve had in a long time and we all loved it! They had great safety percussions implemented as well as being corona virus safe using masks, hand sanitiser and track and trace! Lovely guys and helped a lot with out technique and teaching us how to be true vikings! 10 out of 10 recommend will definitely be returning ????
