A new interactive digital gaming facility in Coquitlam puts you in the game. Literally.
Winnipeg-based Activate Games has opened its first British Columbia location at 108-1090 Lougheed Hwy.
The 9,756-square-foot, gaming centre features 10 game rooms equipped with lasers as well as light walls and floors. Available games include Mega Grid, Strike and Laser.
The rooms allow players aged six and older to be fully immersed in the challenges as they jump, climb and solve problems through various adventures.
Each game lasts one to three minutes and players can track their progress with an electronic wristband as they accumulate points and work their way up through difficulty levels.
“Every decision is yours to make, giving you the ability to create a custom action-packed pursuit,” said a statement on the company’s website.
Activate already operates nearly 40 locations worldwide, including the United States, Dubai, and at the O2 complex in London. There’s also gaming centres in Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and several in the Toronto area.
“We’re beyond excited to see Coquitlam dive into this one-of-a-kind, high-octane experience,” said Activate CEO Adam Schmidt in a news release. “This is more than gaming — it’s an electrifying fusion of advanced technology and physical adventure, designed to create unforgettable moments for families, friends and thrill-seekers.”
Activate’s Coquitlam location opened Jan. 17 but players will be able to try it for free from Jan. 25 to 30.
