What do I need for a games room at home?

Start with one main game that suits the space, then add smaller pieces around it. A table tennis table or multi-game table usually takes the middle of the room. A dartboard cabinet goes on a wall, and a jukebox or arcade machine fills a corner. Add seating for players waiting their turn and good overhead lighting, and the games room is ready to use.

How much space does a table tennis table need in a games room?

A full-size table tennis table is 274 cm long and 152.5 cm wide, so the room needs to be a good bit bigger than that. Leave space behind each end for players to move, plus room at the sides. If space is short, a compact folding table or a mini table still gives you a game. Folding models stand upright when you’re not playing.

What games can you play on a multi-game table?

Four games, on the 4-in-1 tables in our range. Depending on the model, they switch between table tennis, pool, table football and hockey, using one frame. Some of them also fold away when you’re done. A multi-game table is a practical pick for a smaller games room, where fitting a separate table for each game isn’t an option.

Can a games room table tennis table go outside?

Some can. The SPORTNOW 274 cm folding table tennis table with eight wheels is listed for indoor and outdoor use, while others in the range are indoor-only. Check the product listing before you put a table outside. Bring it in or cover it when it’s not in use, as rain and sun wear down tables faster than indoor use.

Where should a dartboard go in a games room?

Hang a dartboard on a solid wall, away from doors and walkways, with the bullseye 173 cm from the floor. Mark the throw line 237 cm from the face of the board and keep about 3 metres of clear floor in front of it. A light above the board cuts out shadows. You’ll find cabinets in our dartboards range.

Do games room tables fold away?

The table tennis tables in our range fold, and several have wheels so you can roll them to the side of the room afterwards. Some 4-in-1 games tables fold too. Folding is useful in a garage or spare room that needs to do other jobs. Check the folded size on the listing if the table needs to fit in a particular spot.

What power does games room equipment need?

Jukeboxes and arcade machines run on mains power, so plan your sockets before they arrive. Our jukeboxes run on 220-240V, and the cocktail table arcade machine runs on 230V. Table tennis tables, games tables and dartboard cabinets don’t need power at all, so they can go anywhere in the room.

Can I buy games room equipment from Bossy Cat?

Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees.

A games room doesn’t have to be a whole room. A garage, a loft conversion, the end of a conservatory or a corner of the spare room can all work, as long as you plan the space around the games you’ll actually play.

This range brings together the main pieces in one place. There are folding table tennis tables in full and compact sizes, and multi-game tables that switch between table tennis, pool, table football and hockey. On the walls, dartboard cabinets keep the board neat between games. For music and a bit of nostalgia, there are retro jukeboxes and home arcade machines.

Brands include SPORTNOW, HOMCOM and vidaXL, and we’re adding new lines all the time.

If you’re starting from scratch, pick one main game first and build around it. A table tennis table sets the size of the room. A dartboard and a jukebox can go almost anywhere after that.

Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees.

Planning the space

Measure the room before you buy anything, and work out where each game will go. A full-size table tennis table is 274 cm long and 152.5 cm wide, and players need room behind each end and at the sides on top of that. A dartboard needs about 3 metres of clear floor in front of it. Arcade machines and jukeboxes take up less floor, but most of them need a plug socket nearby.

Try not to put games where people are going to walk through. A doorway behind a dartboard or across the end of a table tennis table is asking for trouble.

Table tennis and multi-game tables

A full-size table gives you a proper game. If the room is tight, a compact or mini table still gives you a good knock-about. Folding tables stand upright on their wheels when you’re done, which frees up the floor for other things.

Multi-game tables are a good choice where space is short. One frame swaps between several games, so you aren’t trying to fit a separate table for each. Our table tennis tables range covers both types.

Darts

A dartboard cabinet hides the board behind closed doors when nobody’s playing and protects the wall around it. For a regulation set-up, hang the board so the bullseye sits 173 cm from the floor, and mark the throw line 237 cm back from the face of the board.

Music and arcade games

A jukebox gives the room its feel. Vinyl models play records as well as CDs, while CD models take up less space. Both types also stream from your phone over Bluetooth. Arcade machines range from full-size cocktail tables to small units that sit on a shelf. Plan where your sockets are before either one arrives.

Seating and lighting

People will spend a lot of time waiting their turn, so give them somewhere to sit. Bar stools and a drinks trolley from our home bar range work well along a side wall. Bright, even overhead light helps with table tennis, and a light above the dartboard cuts out shadows on the board.

Delivery and returns

Delivery is free on all orders to UK mainland addresses and arrives in 3-5 working days, with no hidden fees. If you change your mind, you can return your order, but the return postage is paid by you.
