As an active gaming experience, Activate requires players to run, jump, climb, crawl and throw in many of our game rooms. To create a more engaging experience for our guests, we have added elements to make the experience more immersive, such as flashing lights, loud music, and fog.
Most games at Activate involve differentiating colours of the same family and vibrancy.
