A new student discount scheme from Funstation aims to attract young people seeking affordable, social activities amid changing leisure habits.
The arcade chain is offering 10 percent off game tokens daily to students, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional nights out. The move comes as research indicates that nearly one in three young people in the UK are drinking less or abstaining altogether, with a growing focus on wellbeing, saving money and more meaningful experiences.
According to a spokesperson for Funstation, the shift reflects a broader trend towards “activity-led plans… something interactive, social and genuinely memorable”, with the operator providing a space where groups can connect through shared experiences such as racing games, prize machines and competitive challenges.
The discount applies to selected token packages and can be redeemed by presenting a valid student ID at purchase. Customers can either drop in casually or plan longer visits, offering flexibility for different budgets and schedules.
Funstation operates in several UK cities, including Belfast, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Leeds, and aims to become a go-to destination for students looking to balance entertainment with affordability.
