About The Dice Box

\n

Founded by husband-and-wife team Trevor and Stephanie Davies, The Dice Box is a unique board game café franchise that bridges the gap between traditional food and beverage outlets and interactive entertainment. In an increasingly digital world, The Dice Box provides a physical social hub where people of all ages can connect over a library of over 600 board games.

\n

From nostalgic classics like Monopoly and Scrabble to modern masterpieces like Catan, Wingspan, and Pandemic, the brand offers a welcoming environment for casual players and hardcore enthusiasts alike. More than just a café, it is a retail destination where customers can purchase their favourite games to take home, adding a lucrative retail revenue stream to the hospitality model.
