Where Sydney Comes To Play
NovaValorPlay.fun is a 40-seat gaming lounge and esports arena on Crown Street. RTX battle stations, next-gen consoles, VR bays and a retro corner — all under one high-contrast roof, open until 11pm every night.
Sydney gamers keep the leaderboards busy
How It Works
From walk-in to first win in minutes
No memberships, no faff. Reserve online or drop by 327 Crown Street and we will have you queued into a lobby before your energy drink goes flat.
Reserve your slot
Pick an arena and time online, or walk in. Peak hours (6pm–10pm) fill fast on weekends, so pre-booking is smart.
Check in at the desk
Grab your station card, connect your Steam, Riot or PSN account, and our crew loads your saves and headsets.
Play your game
Solo grind, squad up in the LAN pods, or jump into a hosted tournament. Snacks and cold drinks arrive at your seat.
Bank your rewards
Every hour earns NovaPoints toward free time, merch and priority seats on our monthly Crown Street Cup.

Reviews
Loved by Sydney’s players
Real reviews from regulars across Surry Hills, Redfern and the inner city.
“Booked a LAN pod for our CS2 five-stack and the ping was flawless. The techs even helped tune our crosshairs before the scrim. Best rigs I have played on in Sydney.”
“Threw my brother’s 16th here — the hosted Mario Kart bracket had the whole room yelling. The party host handled everything and the pizza kept coming. Zero stress for me.”
“The VR bays are the real deal. Did a 30-minute Beat Saber session and the staff swapped in a co-op escape room for round two. Padded floors mean you can actually move.”
“I come every Thursday for the Crown Street Cup ladder. NovaPoints add up fast and I have scored free hours twice. Friendly crew, spotless stations.”
“Our work team of twelve booked the party package for a Friday social. Reserved arena, a proper tournament and drinks — way better than another pub night.”
“The retro corner is pure nostalgia — N64 Smash and the arcade cab. Brought my old uni crew and we lost three hours instantly. Great value at A$10 an hour.”
