Hi Strike! This is my first time visiting Strike after hearing that this Strike arcade has gotten a secret maimai FiNALE machine (the second one I found in Sydney alone, so far! And the third maimai cab in the entire Macquarie centre). The atmosphere here is spectacular with all the amenities and themes chosen, and it's something that I wish I could experience more often/locally.
Although my only critique here that I would like to make aware on how the maimai FiNALE Machine functions in this arcade. I could determine that there is unfortunately, a very good chance that this machine is currently under-maintained, considering that while the buttons on the right cabinet work great and the machine seems to be in good condition, those buttons were the only 'usable' ones I could play on while needing to read the notes from the left screen, who's buttons were not responsive. While I could not show a picture of this happening (except for the highest score I got with this cab!), I will note that I have paid to play this game three times to figure out how to play the game properly (how to look straight to the screen as I tap the buttons). Until, it came to my attention that the screens compatible for each side were likely switched over to their opposite relative (monitor) and therefore very puzzling to play the game altogether.
I can also add that the song choice is also a bit limited (only four genres from Pop & Anime, SEGA and two more that I don't remember. The other arcade did have more song and genre options) but I understand if this is something that cannot be modified as the song choice is still valid and not something I'm really concerned about as a maimai player.
I know that with great maintenance/additional help from tech experts with solving these problems (including the left display's buttons!), this arcade would be thriving with this maimai machine and be a great destination for maimai archeologists and old souls to unlock memories and discovering how the game continues to evolve. Even for people who want to try maimai for the first time as well before moving to the DX machines, or even as a warm up!
(BONUS: The deals are great if this is your first time coming! You have a choice from $25 for another 25, $35 for an extra 50 and bigger + better :D
And, to make discovery for the maimai FiNALE cab more accessible, I recommend adding the location of your machine through Zenius -I- Vanisher's arcade/game location map.)
Edit 25 May 2026: I have added the location of Strike Bowling Macquarie as well as the Maimai FiNALE and Taiko No Tatsujin machines on Ziv.
Edit 7 June 2026: Lucky I came here, because they did a really good job at fixing the machine and the monitors work very good now! Appreciate it very much. It would be super cool if decorations were put around the maimai machine as well as I’ve never seen it at maybe any other arcades (of any franchise) I’ve ever been to, but this is more of a recommendation 😊

Excellent venue, we have been here a number of times with kids for Laser tag, Mini golf and Bowling. Casual visits and parties have been equally great. I also love it that the arcade games are tucked away on a separate floor and not being pushed onto you like in some other playcentres.

I did bowing and escape room and darts. I could get bowling and darts for a deal that was like thirty something dollars. The escape room was more expensive but they are all fun and would recommend. They also have Holey moley now
