Birthday Parties

We provide one parking space for the birthday party organisers.

For your birthday party we’ll provide you with craft activities, and whatever equipment we have in the current installation. We do not provide an entertainer or party activities, but you are more than welcome to bring your own. Our Capital E team member is onsite to ensure everything is working safely and your party is running smoothly but not to facilitate the party.

We have a sound system where we can plug in your device to play music, or we can put on our Capital E playlist.

The party space is all yours! Members of the public will not be allowed to access the venue, just your invited party guests.

As part of your booking you get one photo per child. The Capital E team member will set the photobooth up so it remains on for 30 minutes. If you wish for additional photos, they will be charged at the regular price of $2 each.

Yes of course. We have limited kitchen facilities for food preparation with a fridge, microwave and oven available for your use on the day. We can provide a limited range of platters, along with plastic cups and plates if required. Unfortunately we do not provide cutlery or napkins. 

There will be a trestle table set up for food and space made on the craft tables for eating. We provide table cloths along with plates and cups for the children to use.

Absolutely! Please note that for Health and Safety reasons some decorations aren’t permitted in PlayHQ. These include pinata, glitter, party poppers and candles/fire (these can set off the fire alarm and sprinkler system for the entire building). You are welcome to light and blow out candles just outside the venue.

We will do our best to find an alternative date to host your party when your little one is feeling better. Just let us know as soon as possible and we will work something out together.

You will have access to the venue 30 minutes before your starts and have 30 minutes after the party to pack down.

Capital E does not hold a liquor license so no alcohol can be consumed in our premises.

Multiplayer LAN gaming lets you test your gaming skills alongside your friends. Spend two hours on our gaming PCs in our state-of-the-art MediaLab, competing with high emotion and full-on energy. Featuring an hour of high-speed car racing time trials, games on the Atmosphir platform, and Brawlhalla an E-Sports favourite.

Crime gossip and scandal from the world of Far Away – create a show of crime stories based on well-known fairy stories and installation. Goldilocks is arrested for breaking and entering, we catch up with Beauty and the Beast now that the honeymoon is over, and the Big Bad Wolf is in trouble again…

Make your own TV news show with three exciting stories, interviews and the weather! Grab some friends and use the OnTV Television Studio equipment to bring together this crazy script about upside-down houses, invisibility cloaks and woollen graffiti. Present the weather forecast, report the latest from the stock market or maybe even interview the world’s biggest liar!

Explosions in the Beehive! Terror on the streets! Aliens have invaded and are running amok through Wellington! Be part of the news crew capturing the action on camera as the aliens threaten to destroy the planet unless the human race gives in to their outrageous demands. Will everyone survive or will they have their innards sucked out by the visitors from outer space?

We provide one parking space for the birthday party organisers.

The party space is all yours! Members of the public will not be allowed to access the venue, just your invited party guests.

You’re welcome to arrive 10 – 15 minutes before your party starts to unload any food/decorations.

There will be a space with a table provided either in the studio, or just outside.

We will do our best to find an alternative date to host your party, when your child is feeling better. Just let us know as soon as possible and we will work something out together.
