What games are available in the playroom?
Here, you’ll find an Air hockey table and a Shuffleboard. Both can be booked on site.

What is Shuffleboard?
Shuffleboard is a hugely popular game from America. It’s for all ages, and easy for everyone to play. Play it with your family, friends, or partner. Test your tactical know-how and reflexes with a game Shuffleboard.

The aim of the game is to score 15 (short round) or 21 (long round) points as quickly as possible. There must be at least two points difference between the two teams.

The shuffleboard is a long table with a special coating and no rims around around the end. You use metal pucks to play the table.

Before playing, you will have to apply a powder on the shuffleboard in the form of a spray, with a granular structure, which allows the pucks to slide better over the table. The pucks glide like a curling disc. The game is therefore similar to curling combined with shuffling.

Play in steps:

1. You play the game with two players or two teams of two players, a total of four players. A round of rock, paper, scissors decides who can start. The one who loses starts, as the latter has more of an advantage playing the game.
2. Now the 4 Pucks per team can be pushed back and forth over the table, always in the same direction. Try to get to the best zone or area at the end of the table. Or try to knock the other puck off the course, or try to defend your own puck.
3. The puck that comes closest to the end of the edge wins.
4. The winner of the previous round starts, the starting position is the other way around from the previous game.
5. In the next round you change sides again.
6. Whoever scores the winning point of 15 or 21 points in total, with at least 2 points difference, wins!

It is not allowed to wear your own shoes. We provide special bowling shoes that are suitable for the bowling alley.

All ages welcome; there is no minimum age. From the age of 4, a child can already bowl fairly independently by means of the bumpers on the side. However, children up to the age of 12 are only allowed if accompanied by an adult.

For online reservations we use from 8 weeks before the start. With the exception of events on request (from 20 people).

Yes, that's possible. Only the two Classic Lanes are connected. You can combine the V.I.P Lane, although they are right next to each other, there is a wall in between. Up to 14 people can be booked online via www.SpareTime.nl. If you are with several people, please contact us by email.

Unfortunately, the bowling alleys are not wheelchair accessible due to the many elevations.
