A truly immersive, dystopian-inspired gaming haven.
Nick Stringer, co-founder and lead designer at Shed, says, “If you’re going to launch a new hospitality venue today it has to lead with design, and that’s what Adventure Leisure trusted us to do when the idea for a new venue first came up.”
BUNKERS draws inspiration from its gritty urban surroundings to present safe passage to a world of gaming escape. A series of discoverable dystopian ‘districts’ that nod to gaming nostalgia and play on futuristic-world undertones.
The districts, each one unique, come together to offer games such as crazy golf, electro-darts, pool, ping pong and shuffleboard. This expansive pixelated gaming world is a whopping 22,000 square feet and has the sole aim of resetting, recalibrating, and refuelling the people who venture in.
More than ever, this dystopian vision is present in not one, but two, crazy golf courses that feature ‘Dreamscapes’ that go way beyond the imagination of what’s conceivable in a secret bunker. Surprising, challenging and deceiving in equal measure, these two courses are at the very heart of this world. Players are exposed to a nostalgic past as they travel through the buzz of the 70’s disco cool with a visit to Studio 54, onto Razzle dazzle electro 80’s, a barren Neon Graveyard then hit the first moon landing at the out-of-this-world Space Traveller hole.
Shed partnered with Bluecrow Projects, Bluecrow Metalwork and Bluecrow Joinery, who together realised the intricacies of the design in the build.
Andrew Scholey, Operations and Development Director of Adventure Leisure Ltd:
“BUNKERS Romford is an impressive venue and design played a crucial role in not only pulling the whole space together to feel like one immersive world, but in defining a new concept that will make BUNKERS stand out in the market.”
