In today’s fast-paced world, where families often find themselves juggling busy schedules and digital distractions, a new venture in Namaka, Nadi is striving to bring families back together. The Gaming Lounge, nestled within Magical Fun House, has opened its doors and is quickly gaining popularity among parents and their children as a prime destination for fun and bonding.
Equipped with the latest gaming technology, including PlayStation consoles and virtual reality setups, as well as traditional games like billiards, foosball, air hockey, and an array of board games, the Gaming Lounge caters to all age groups, encouraging quality time spent together. General Manager Pranesh Dalton emphasizes the establishment’s mission to foster family connections.
“This is a place where kids can come in and play billiards with their mom and dad, or even show their parents the gaming aspects they may not understand. It’s a relaxation spot where families can escape from their daily routines and enjoy each other’s company,” Dalton explained. The facility even offers a supervised playroom for younger children, giving parents peace of mind as they unwind.
The Gaming Lounge was created with the intention of providing families within the Western Division a shared recreational space instead of separate experiences. “Sometimes families are so busy, they barely have time to sit together. This space puts everyone in the right mindset to just relax, enjoy, and focus on each other,” Dalton noted.
While affordability and accessibility are key, the primary goal is for families to create lasting memories together. The lounge operates from 2 PM to 9:30 PM daily, catering to school schedules and ensuring children can enjoy their time after class.
This initiative aligns with a broader trend in Fiji, where families are increasingly prioritizing togetherness amid modern challenges. As seen in recent celebrations, such as families across the nation gathering for New Year festivities, there’s a shared commitment to building and nurturing family bonds. The Gaming Lounge represents a hopeful development in this effort, reinforcing the importance of connection and shared experiences in fostering strong family relationships.
