Our Story

From a Loft Above Smith Street to Collingwood’s Favourite Lounge

PocketQuestWorld grew from a handful of hand-built arcade cabinets into a 40-seat gaming home for Melbourne’s players. Here’s how the quest unfolded.

  • 2016

    The First Cabinet

    Two friends restored a 1987 arcade board in a loft above Smith Street and invited the neighbourhood over for Friday night high-score battles.

  • 2018

    Doors Open on Peel Street

    We moved into our 102 Peel Street warehouse, added eight console pods and a dedicated fighting-game bar, and served our first waffles-and-milkshake game night.

  • 2021

    The Esports Loft

    A mezzanine of twelve 240Hz PCs went live, and our Tuesday Valorant ladder and Sunday Rocket League scrims became a fixture of the Collingwood scene.

  • 2024

    40 Seats & Counting

    With retro pinball, VR bays and a coffee-and-toastie kitchen, PocketQuestWorld now hosts over 900 players a week — from first-timers to ranked competitors.

Player Reviews

Loved by Melbourne’s Players

Rated 4.9 across 600+ visits. Here’s what the Collingwood crew has to say.

“Booked the esports loft for my partner’s birthday and the staff set up a mini Rocket League cup for us. The 240Hz rigs are pristine and the coffee is genuinely good. We’ll be back monthly.”
Priya N.Fitzroy, VIC · March 2025
“As a Quester member I basically live here on weeknights. The retro row is unreal — a proper Street Fighter II cab that actually works. Great value for unlimited weekday play.”
Daniel R.Collingwood, VIC · February 2025
“Brought my two kids on a rainy Sunday. The console pods with beanbags were perfect and staff helped them pick age-appropriate games. Relaxed, clean and welcoming.”
Mei L.Richmond, VIC · January 2025
“Our Tuesday Valorant squad has trained here for a year. The scrim pod is a game-changer and the coaching hour with the Elite pass sharpened our comms massively.”
Tom & AshBrunswick, VIC · December 2024
“Wandered in off Peel Street on a whim, paid the casual rate and lost three hours to pinball and toasties. Friendly, no pressure, exactly the vibe I wanted.”
Sofia K.Carlton, VIC · November 2024
“Hosted a 12-person work night in the private pod. Easy booking, snacks sorted, everyone had a blast. A rare venue that suits both hardcore and first-time gamers.”
