Bigger than the Canary Wharf site, guests will be greeted by a tower 15-foot rotating duck - and a vibrant neon playground.
As for the games themselves, there will be 12 reimagined fairground games exclusive to the site.
One game is 'Joy Ride', a car racing game, as well as 'Duck and Dive' -where players have to to knock all the bottles off the shelves.
There will also be 'Beaky Blinders' - the largest indoor hook-a-duck ever created.
Visitors can also choose from a range of street food vendors such as Burger & Beyond, Alby's Pizza and Le Bab.
And for drinks, guests can grab a funfair-themed cocktail before heading to a booth and listening to tunes from the resident DJ.
Inside multi-million pound upgrade for popular Scots tourist attraction
Want a sweet and boozy treat? Then opt for a prosecco-infused candy floss.
The attraction has also recently launched a 'Fairmiles' loyalty scheme, where visitors will get rewards for each time they head to a Fairgame site - including merch and prizes.
In total, the new venue will be able to host up to 1,000 people.
Currently, prices to visit Canary Wharf's site are from £15 for unlimited games.
This price then rises to £19 for peak days, such as Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Included in the price, visitors get to play each of the nine games once and have a total playing time of 75 minutes.
The UK's best indoor attractions
The UK's unpredictable weather means finding indoor activities is essential for parents treating their kids to a day out.
Here's a list of some of the best attractions found firmly underneath a roof in the country.
Empire of the Sea Dragon Indoor Zone
This play area claims to be the biggest indoor play park in the UK.
The entertainment hub is home to five floors, with slides, rope bridges, swings, net towers and rides.
There's also the Trauma Tower, which Empire of the Sea claim is the "best indoor ride in Devon" because of its huge 50ft drop.
Other indoor rides at the Devonshire-based indoor play area include a Ferris Wheel and a Submarine Ride.
Play Factore
This indoor play zone claims to have been designed especially "to provide families with a state of the art active indoor play arena to play in together".
Included in its attractions are the tallest standing indoor slide in the UK, as well as a full indoor laser tag arena, interactive trampolines and zip wires.
In addition to the UK's tallest indoor slide, it also has the country's largest indoor play frame, made up of a network of tunnels, slides and obstacles, including giant bubble balls, spider nets and rollers.
What's more, for kids more into playing ball sports, it has a football pitch and a basketball court built into the play frame.
Gravity Max
Gravity Max has sites in both the north and south of the UK, including in Liverpool, Castleford and Wandsworth.
It also recently opened a brand new one in East London at the Westfield Shopping Centre.
The main draw of the site is its E-karting super track, which runs on two separate tracks across multiple levels, offering various different racing experiences.
It also has Tokyo-style arcades covering almost an entire floor of their own upstairs.
There's also a nine-hole Coca-Cola minigolf course, which requires players to tap their club in before starting, so each shot can be counted digitally, meaning no cheating is able to take place.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the Heineken sports bar is found, which has private booths to allow those who have booked them to have their own choice of music, as well as their own TV screens to watch their choice of sport.
These are the top 15 UK attractions for 2025 revealed including six which are totally free for the summer holidays.
Plus, the incredibly popular £7 tourist attraction returns to UK with a giant maze, a sunset bar and stunning photo opportunities.

Netflix star urges people who loved ‘murdered' mum not to attend stepdad's funeral amid death probe
Callum said he wants 'justice' for his beloved mother FUNERAL BAN PLEA Netflix star urges people who loved 'murdered' mum not to attend stepdad's funeral amid death probe A NETFLIX star has urged anyone who loved his 'murdered' mum not to attend her husband's funeral - after cops suspect he killed her before taking his own life. Dawn Kerr and Andrew Searle, who were in their 60s, were found dead at their idyllic French hamlet of Les Pesquies, near Villefranche-de-Rouergue in February this year. 4 Callum Kerr and his mum Dawn Kerr 4 Callum walked him mum down the aisle at her wedding to Andrew Searle in 2023 Advertisement 4 The remote hamlet in France where the couple were found dead Police initially believed the deaths could have been linked to Andrew's former job as an organised crime fraud investigator - but all the evidence now points to a murder-suicide. Dawn's son Callum Kerr, who played PC George Kiss in soap opera Hollyoaks and appeared in Netflix's Virgin River, today issued a plea for any friends of his mum not to attend her 'killer's funeral. The Scots actor had proudly walked his mother down the aisle during her marriage to Andrew in September 2023. Advertisement But writing on Instagram, he said: 'In the absence of any evidence suggesting third-party involvement in the tragic death of our mother, Dawn Kerr, the prevailing hypothesis remains that of a murder-suicide. 'Our mother was killed by multiple blows to the head, and Andrew was found deceased by hanging. 'His injuries are consistent with self-hanging, and no defensive wounds were found on his body. 'There is also no evidence whatsoever of any third party's involvement at this stage. Advertisement 'While the official investigation is still ongoing, we cannot ignore the circumstances as they stand. 'For this reason, we must respectfully but firmly request that our mother not be included in any way in the funeral arrangements being made for Andrew. 'Please do not share photographs of them together. Please do not attend Andrew's service if you were a friend of our mother. 'Fun-loving' family of four found dead in their home as cops confirm chilling reason they were called 'It would be inappropriate for her memory to be associated with a service honouring the man who, based on all available evidence, may have been responsible for her death. 'We ask for understanding, privacy and respect as we continue to grieve and seek justice for our mum.' Advertisement Dawn was found lying in front of her house, partly undressed, while Andrew was found hanged from a radiator. French prosecutors revealed in February: 'A box containing jewellery was found near to her, but no item or weapon which could have caused the injuries were located.' They also said: 'Mr Searle, who was found hanged… did not show any visible defensive injuries.' Cash was found in the couple's bedroom and their home appeared to have been 'roughly searched'. Police also considered the possibility of a hitman linked to Andrew's anti-fraud work in the financial crime sector - or a botched burglary. Advertisement 4 Andrew Searle is suspected of killing his wife His 21-year career at British banks Standard Life and Barclays included spotting accounting irregularities linked to organised crime groups. Investigators found his mobile device proved 'particularly helpful', after he was spotted making animated calls in previous days. An investigating source said in February: 'There is a mine of information and recent calls made by Mr Searle which are providing vital clues.' Andrew and Dawn were labelled by local friends as being a 'popular' and 'happy couple'. Advertisement The British expats had been living in Aveyron for five years, according to French prosecutors.

‘It's stitched with everyone's stories,' school staple has been worn by 18 Scots kids for 30 years
The mum has said that she has been overwhelmed by the incredibly warm response she has had since sharing the story of the legendary blazer FAMILY LEGACY 'It's stitched with everyone's stories,' school staple has been worn by 18 Scots kids for 30 years A SPECIAL school blazer has been "stitched with everyone's stories" after being worn by 18 Scottish family members and friends over 30 years. The story starts with Katie McNeill, 35, who was given the tne brand new black blazer as a gift on her first day of primary school in 1995. 3 Katie said her family was emotional watching her son Ellis, start school last week Credit: Supplied 3 And he wore the same blazer that Katier herself wore 30 years earlier Credit: Supplied Her aunt Jane Carmichael, 68, got it specially made for her tiny frame so it would be the perfect fit for her big first day at Bonnyrigg Primary School. The mum-of-one, from Midlothian, was just five years old when she wore the blazer "proudly" without realising what it would come to represent in the following years. Over the next three decades, 16 other members of Katie's family and close family friends all went on it wear the beloved garment on their first day of school. It has become an incredibly special and unique tradition that has turned into a legacy for the family. And it came "full circle" last week when Katie's five-year-old son Ellis wore it on his first day of school on its 30th anniversary. Katie said she "couldn't keep the tears in" when she put the blazer on him for his first day at Stobhill Primary School in Gorebridge. It felt extra special because it started with me, and now it's my wee boy's turn... It's been an unforgettable week Katie McNeill Katie, who is now a teacher at nearby Newtongrange Primary School, told the Scottish Sun that seeing her son in the blazer made the day "extra special". She said: "The blazer was bought for me by my auntie Jane, and it was actually specially made because it didn't fit me as I was so small! "I wore it proudly on my first day of primary one at Bonnyrigg Primary School in 1995, and at that point, we didn't think it would be passed on down through generations. "I wore it, my sister, cousins, and family friends all wore it. Eighteen children have worn it on their first day of school for over 30 years. My kids go to bed at 2am even on school days - here is their nighttime routine "We're such a close-knit family, and for us, that adds that extra special element to it - seeing our wee ones now starting school and a new wee chapter, and it's like our special wee symbol for us. "I'm a local teacher, and when the time was coming for my wee boy to wear it, I was so emotional. "My auntie Jane keeps it safe every year, and she takes the badge off from the previous wearers and the new badge gets sewn or ironed on, so over the summer, we had our little blazer swap. "But it felt extra special because it started with me, and now it's my wee boy's turn. When he was about one, I actually realised he was going to wear the blazer when it's 30 years! "It's been a long time coming, and he's been really excited about it and looking forward to it, too. It's such a special legacy, and it's brought so much joy and happiness to us... As much as it's just a blazer, it's something that will be in our family for a long time to come Katie McNeill "It's such a special day for a wee one starting school, and when you're a teacher, you really know the weight of it and how huge a milestone it is for the families, so this was extra special for us." Katie told how the whole family experienced an "unforgettable week" after Ellis turned five before starting school, and said her Auntie Jane was incredibly moved to see him wear the blazer. But she said Ellis took it all in his stride and was impressed with how well he handled his new start. She continued: "It's such a special legacy, and it's brought so much joy and happiness to us this week. "It's been a very special week for us, having Ellis turn five and then off to school on his new adventure and then this. It's been an unforgettable week. "It's also been really special for my auntie Jane because we're very close and she helps with Ellis and pick-ups and drop-offs offs so it's kind of come full circle for her too to see him wearing the blazer she bought me over 30 years ago. "It's been an emotional week, I've been trying to keep it together but as soon as I put the blazer on him on Wednesday, I couldn't keep the tears in. "But Ellis was like, 'Why are you crying, mummy?'. He just took it in his stride and was hilariously blasé about it! "As much as it's just a blazer, it's something that will be in our family for a long time to come. "It's in brilliant condition - it's like it was bought just two-three years ago. But it also has a little bit of wear and tear that you can tell it's been in a family, and it's stitched with everyone's stories through it." 'Positive spin on an emotional week' KATIE has been overwhelmed by the incredibly warm response she has had since sharing the story of the legendary blazer. She said: "It's not really a story we put out there all the time. We've never openly been like 'this person wore this blazer on their first day'. "But now everyone understands the story behind it. "It's just so nice, it's always been a special thing in our family, and it's been taken in so well by everyone else. It's just been so lovely. "Everyone who has worn it, has been sending me pictures of them wearing it, and it's so lovely to think that's the same blazer." Katie said her story put a smile on the faces of many nervous mums and dads last week, who were all put through the emotional wringer watching their little ones take on this latest milestone. She added: "It's put such a positive spin on things for us mummies and daddies, who have had an emotional week. "But he's loved his first week at school. We've had a lovely six weeks off together, and the thought of going back can be hard going but this has helped." Katie explained that while little Ellis is too young to fully comprehend how special the blazer is, she said she can't wait for him to understand the gravity in years to come. And the family are already thinking about his kids wearing it in another 30 years. The mum said: "Ellis has just turned five. His speech is fantastic, but his understanding is a little delayed. He's still as sharp as a tack, though, and keeps us laughing! "We tried to tell him about the significance of the blazer in the morning, but he couldn't be less interested. "Then at bedtime we talked to him about how special the blazer was and was like 'look, you're in the news!'. "But he was more shocked at seeing me as a child because he's never seen that before, and he was showing everyone in the house and some family friends that are over from Australia. "Later, he'll understand the gravity of it and, in years to come, it will be a lovely thing for him to look back on. "And we've been like, 'Imagine his children wear it in years to come', and my sister's kids as well, who aren't born yet."
