Love, Funlab.
Welcome to Funlab – the world’s premier creator of competitive socialising experiences and the first B Corp-certified company in our industry. That means we’re serious about using fun for good – creating epic experiences while making a positive impact on our people, our communities, and the planet.
With eight fun-inducing brands, 50+ venues across Australia, Aotearoa (New Zealand), and North America, and over 2,000 incredible Motherfunners, we’ve been crafting joy, banter, and unforgettable moments since 2001.
Every day at Funlab is different (just like our Motherfunners), and we love it that way.
