For gaming freaks

Gamers in Thane have found their new haven at an arcade café opened by Shreyas Kelkar, born from his passion for gaming. “As a teenager, I couldn’t afford gaming equipment due to its high cost and limited availability. I wanted to offer youngsters the chance to experience top-tier gaming consoles and the latest games in a comfortable environment, and at affordable prices, starting at just Rs 70 per hour,” Kelkar explained. The café features a high-end setup with six PlayStation 5 consoles, Xbox Series X, a racing simulator, and 65-inch TVs, “We offer an immersive setup with music and coloured lights that change with the music, heightening the energy and giving players a rush,” he added. The racing simulator is a unique console racing equipment featuring a two-player setup with a steering wheel and pedals, to provide a realistic racing experience. The café boasts over 30 popular games, including story-based and competitive options, with Kelkar taking customer feedback to keep the collection up to date with the latest trends. Unlike most gaming cafés, patrons can also enjoy snacks like chips, frankies and vada pav while gaming.
