Activate [Interactive Arcade]

Hands down the best challenge room that’s in AZ right now. The tech was buttery smooth which is always a hit or miss in challenge room galleries like these. We went on a weekday during the afternoon and there weren’t many people around. As we were leaving though more and more people seemed to trickle in. And while we didn’t experience long wait times at high volumes I’d assume long lines will form. Cool concept with 13 core games with 2-5 game modes. Though with our experience of 90 minutes we only made a dent in a handful of game modes. Still plenty of content to return to. Which we probably will! Just with a larger group as I felt games didn’t scale to your team size meaning larger teams will have an easier time. (If they do adapt some of those games are way too hard then…) Other than that, the aesthetic of this challenge room was the hardest to get around. Almost completely dark except for harsh blue and red and other colored lights. Felt slightly disoriented after certain games. Nothing that stopped us from playing but definitely that got us to take a break. Finally the price set up seems too little bang for my buck. Other challenge rooms I’ve played I’ve paid significantly less for more play and this company didn’t seem to offer any options that enticed me to stay longer. 13$ more per hour is too steep when I just payed 38$ for 90 minutes. Wish they had more worthwhile purchases cause this place is a ton of fun.
