Rooftop board-game café in Dubai: before and after the game

Most escape rooms send you back to the car park the moment the door opens. At Brain Game, the evening usually starts upstairs in our rooftop board-game café, and it often ends there too, with everyone arguing about who found the key.

What games can you play?

We keep around twenty games on the shelf: quick party games for big groups, strategy games for two, and family classics the kids already know. Can’t decide? Ask the team at the counter and we’ll pick one that suits your group in seconds.

Do you need an escape room booking?

No. There are two ways to play:

• With an escape room: add board-game rental for AED 10 per person per hour and play before or after your game.
• Without an escape room: come just for the games for AED 20 per person per hour.

Snacks and drinks are available at the counter either way.

Why arrive early or stay late?

The café gives your group somewhere to arrive without rushing and to wait for the friend who is always late. Afterwards, it’s where the debrief happens. Who found the key? Who walked straight past the obvious clue? For a lot of groups, that conversation is the best part of the night.

Can you celebrate in the café?

Yes. Large groups and birthday parties can reserve a corner of the café or the terrace for cake and a celebration. Our birthday packages also include a free hour of board games after the game.
