Shipwrecked - Brooklyn, New York

Maria

Adults only Thursdays!! Had a blast with my boyfriend for date night! Super friendly bartenders, the arcade room had really great old school games, the escape room was fun & the mini-golf course was challenging and had really cool themes! Would definitely recommend!

My wife and I went here when we were engaged and enjoyed it a lot. So it seemed natural to come back with a group of 20 high school boys for a fun day off from classes at school.

We had a blast! The mini golf has a great pirate theme, the arcade is terrific and funny signs and humorous quotes abound at Shipwrecked in Red Hook.

The customer service is terrific. Everyone was gracious during our event.

My only minor suggestion is that it was difficult to reach the event planning contacts by phone at times during business hours. A more streamlined system during business hours would have boosted our experience from 99% to 100% satisfaction.

Thank you, and happy holidays, Shipwrecked!

Cute put-put course although not super challenging. They do a good time of staggering starts so you don't feel too rushed. The drinks are what you'd expect for an arcade type venue, and there were some kids running around. If you're kid-free, I'd say go later to avoid that. Also there is no coat check or great place to hang them, so be mindful of that! I sort of carried mine around and strategically placed it between two or three spots so I didn't have to move it each time.

So much fun for my family of 3. Staff was friendly and informative. Pricing was on point for the mini golf experience. Courses were well put together and fun. Coupon codes are available online for a low cost. Easy to get to. Very clean including the bathrooms. We came on a Saturday at noon and it wasn't over crowded. Definitely had a lot of fun here. Good for all ages!

Shipwrecked is located by Red Hook and is opened Thursdays through Sunday. Choose from a game of mini golf, three different mini escape rooms, and loads of arcade fun! They serve alcohol some wine slushies, and snacks for those who love to eat, drink, and play. This 18-hole mini golf is very interactive with a whole lot of fun. Remember to drop in a token to get that full effect. Next, it’s time to move onto their mini escape rooms. There’s a time limit of 15 minutes which is more than enough time to solve the mystery. There is no worries of being stuck there for an hour trying to figure out what to do. It’s challenging, fun, and very interactive. Last but not least, who doesn’t like arcades with prizes? Charge up your card and re-live your youth. Feeling lucky? Spin the wheel. Got skills? Shoot some hoops and gather up those tickets. Afterwards, go exchange them for fun prizes. Whether you are going on a date, having fun with a group of friends, or bringing your lil cousins on a mission, Shipwreck will satisfy your needs. Let’s go have some fun!

First time doing mini golf and I had a good time. I wanted to try the escape room as well but didn’t have time. There were about four sections with different themes. It was a nice quick game. The arcade is small. Not the greatest selection of games and the ticket amounts for the prizes are set high. You can either hang out at the arcade or have a seat in the seating area while you wait for your game to start. There are light snacks and drinks including some with alcohol for purchase. Lockers are also available to put your belongs in for a fee. Overall I had a good time. Oh and by the way your reservation time is the time you get added to the que. Not the time you actually start the game. Sometimes you have to wait for other people in front of you to go. There were three in front of me when I got there and I got there before my scheduled time.

Our expectations started high and just went down, quickly.
TL/DR: long waits with a frustrating and shady sign in process that entices you to spend more, poor communication, not a great course.

First, their reservation system is clear that you're just reserving a place in line when you arrive, not an actual time to play. What? Ok, I guess we'll see how that goes...
"Why" became clear when we arrived and had to check in to wait, not on the minigolf side, but on the arcade side. And now that we have to wait, what else would impatient kids want to do? So that felt a little shady.
Then, our name is called (mid-video game, which we abandoned) and we go over to the golf side, to be told we're next (ie. we still have to wait), would we like any food or drink? Lord, sure, my son was hungry by that point, he ordered something, we're waiting anyway.
Then they tell us they're ready for us to play golf (40 or so min after we arrived at this point I think?). Great! Oh, but wait, they say, you can't take food on the course, so do you want to wait for your food, and then play? (Perhaps something that could have been communicated before we ordered?)
I ask if we wait to eat, will we be able to play as soon as we're done, or will we have to wait again? "We'll let someone go ahead of you, yes" Oh, no thanks, we'll start playing and take a break when the food comes.

So that's just the waiting and start process. Now, to the game itself.

They apparently had a holiday theme rather than their usual video journey, so this may not apply to year round. But the lights were so low in the first room (4 holes) that even our kid had a hard time seeing anything.
And the course/holes were frankly uninspiring. We've played a lot of minigolf in a lot of places. And I love their story about finding this course somewhere else and transporting it to Brooklyn. But it's just not a very interesting course. A lot of repeat set-ups and holes, one absurdly frustrating false hole set (2 on one course that literally take you off the course entirely). Just, eh. And all this for just $70 for 3 players!
I was really excited to have some good indoor minigolf in Brooklyn. Sadly this is not it. I hope they improve the lighting (easy), the reservation process (also a choice, easy) and the course (less easy, I grant)

Great place for my daughter's 10th birthday.
Visit this location with my kid and her friends. You have to follow along with the story around the mini-golf area. It was a fun activity for all different ages, kids, and even adults. The place has a small arcade at the beginning, which helps calm down the exciting and anxious waiting kids.

The location was clean and neat, and the staff was friendly. I will be coming back when other outdoor places are unavailable in the winter season.
