Now Open: Holey Moley Funhouse Is the CBD's All-New OTT Challenge Room Bar
Think of the new Holey Moley Funhouse like a grown-up (and far sillier) version of those arcades you used to visit as a kid.
Funlab (Holey Moley, Hijinx Hotel and Strike Bowling) has a thing for competitive socialising, now operating over 50 game bars across Australia. And one of its most popular sites — Holey Moley on Little Bourke Street — has just undergone a huge expansion.
On Friday, October 11, the Funlab crew unveiled the new-look mini golf space, which has been decked out with new automated scoring and live leaderboards, bonus points scoring games, and a heap of other updated technologies.
The main Caddyshack bar also grew to accommodate guests visiting the new downstairs venue Holey Moley Funhouse.
Here, putters are invited to put down their clubs and participate in nine different challenge games — similar to those seen at the team's Hijinx Hotel.
These include a ball pit, throwing challenges, an egg and spoon race full of obstacles, quick-fire memory games, and putt putt pong (we're not entirely sure what this is). For some of these games, you'll play as a team, but for the most part, you'll be fighting it out against one another.
Like the upstairs mini golf bar, these games can all be played with a drink in hand — or at least the drinks can be put down for a few moments while you compete with your mates at each different gaming area.
Holey Moley Funhouse will also similarly embrace nostalgic 80s and 90s vibes but feel more like a carnival than a mini-golf course.
"Holey Moley Funhouse combines two of our guests' favourite experiences; Hijinx Hotel challenge rooms and the competitive and nostalgic fun of Holey Moley. We think we've not only created the latest and greatest new Funlab concept, but also Melbourne's most playful new bar!", shares Funlab CEO Michael Schreiber.
Holey Moley Funhouse can be found at 590 Little Bourke Street, Melbourne. For more information, you can visit the venue's website.
