Greetings, all! Weβre Lucas and Claire Hipkins, the owners of Mind Games in Moonee Ponds. Weβre super proud to be at the helm of this second-generation Melbourne institution thatβs been entertaining and delighting Melburnians since 1977.
Our mission is to bring Australians the very best games, puzzles, jigsaws, and Lego from the most inventive and loved manufacturers from across the globe. As such, we stock everything from tabletop games, role-playing games, war games, and traditional games to outdoor games.
Whether youβre looking for a game for your 18-month-old, your school-aged child, a friend or family member, an elderly relative, or yourself, weβll help you find just the right one. From old to new, creative to classic, and original to the latest edition, weβve got a game for you!
This family business means the world to us, so itβs lucky that we have such a great love and passion for all kinds of games. We combine that with our awesome and knowledgeable staff, and together weβve created exceptional customer service that goes above and beyond.
Our passion has been passed down through the generations and has given us one especially awesome accolade. Mind Games is the Oldest Board Game Store in Australia, and weβre proud to hold this significant title! With stores across Hawthorn, Malvern, Moonee Ponds, and Northcote, we truly have Melbourne covered for games of all descriptions.
Here at Mind Games, weβre also proud to be heavily involved in our community, supporting local schools, charities, and libraries. So whether you need one item for your family or a larger charitable or corporate purchase, we can accommodate.
While it may sound like a dream jobβ and it is!βit hasnβt come without challenges. 2020 saw us open our store online in the peak of Covid, which was a big pivot from its 1977 roots. It was definitely a transition, and weβre proud of how we made our way through it, giving Moonee Ponds and Melbourne locals a great way to spend their time. And while we love getting games out to you in any way we can, nothing beats seeing your smiling faces in person. Moonee Ponds has a great sense of community; weβre so proud to be a part of it.
If youβre in the market for a game, Mind Games are your local team to turn to. Shop in-store or online β we canβt wait to meet you!Β
