Ever wondered what it would be like to step inside your favourite game and play it in real life? That’s exactly what Otherworld HQ in Surfers Paradise offers – a thrilling, interactive experience that brings games to life. Whether you’re a die-hard gamer, a curious tourist, or just a group of friends looking for a unique weekend activity, Otherworld HQ is where imagination meets action.
What is a Real-Life Game?
Forget sitting behind a screen – IRL games (in real life games) put you inside the action. At Otherworld HQ, you don’t just watch the story unfold—you become the main character. Think of it as a cross between a live-action video game, an escape room, and immersive theatre. You're moving through physical spaces, solving puzzles, making decisions, and interacting with live actors and other players in a way that feels incredibly real.
The Games That Are Taking Surfers Paradise by Storm
Saboteurs Gold Coast: Trust No One
One of the most popular games at Otherworld HQ is Saboteurs, inspired by the social deduction games you know and love. Players are divided into two teams: loyal crew members and secret saboteurs. Your mission? Work together to complete tasks—but beware, someone in your group is working against you.
This isn’t a board game. This is a high-stakes, real-life experience where your instincts and social smarts are tested. Can you figure out who’s sabotaging the mission before it’s too late? Saboteurs is ideal for groups who love a bit of strategy, mystery, and mayhem—right in the heart of Surfers Paradise.
Among Us, IRL Style
Yes, you read that right. Otherworld HQ has brought Among Us to the Gold Coast, and it’s as chaotic and hilarious as you’d imagine. With the same familiar gameplay—complete objectives while trying to uncover the imposter—this real-life version takes it to the next level with immersive sets, props, and dramatic lighting effects.
Playing Among Us in real life at Otherworld HQ adds a layer of excitement and unpredictability you simply can’t get online. You’re not just pressing buttons—you’re literally running, hiding, and pointing fingers in person. Whether you're a fan of the original game or just love high-energy group experiences, this is a must-try.
