Unplugged: Board Games Cafe & Escape Rooms — Restaurant in Fredericton

Whatever your night out budget is, make sure to add an extra $50 when you come here because you're gonna walk out with new board games.

Really though, these guys are awesome. Almost any date night usually includes a pop in here for a quick game. The guy working up front (didn't catch his name) can give you the perfect recommendation and explain the rules to seemingly every game quickly and efficiently.

Only areas where I would offer feedback is the cocktail menu is full of sugary sweet drinks. Would love if they expanded a little bit here, maybe coming up with some unique recipes themed around games.

Edit to reply to response : While $5 might not be much to spend, it is when we were not informed of the added cost to go to the cafe when we told them it was our first time in. The staff did not inform us it costs to sit in the premises. It is expensive when you aren't aware of it and it's just thrown onto the bill. What if we didn't want to play a board game and just enjoy a coffee?

We were in 3 weeks ago, before our flight to Scotland. Just to get coffee and...

My husband and I go here all the time. Most recently, we did an escape room called "Consume" with a few friends on a Tuesday night. We were late but the staff were very forgiving and accommodating (thank you!). There were 5 of us. Consume starts with everyone in velcro chains in a semi-dark room. Our team had great team work and completed the room with several minutes left! It was chaos after we unlocked ourselves to beat the clock but it was the fun type of chaos where everyone worked together really well to figure out the clues. Highly recommend "Consume" at NoEscape Unplugged Board Cafe! Afterwards, we played a couple rounds of codenames downstairs and ate kettle chips, popcorn chicken, fries, and beers. Great atmosphere and great food at...
