Explore Game Rooms
Games at Activate live in our custom-built game rooms. Every room is different. Every game unique.
LaserSince most museums prohibit guests from playing with their laser security system, this room is your best option.
TrenchIt’s shoot and go in Trench. Aim true and move fast.
ControlThe clock is ticking down. Your heart rate’s going up. Who needs a controller when you have your body?
HideNothing like a game of hide-and-seek between you, your friends, and the all-seeing eye you can’t escape.
PipesIn, out, over, and back. This room is designed to tie your brain in knots. That’s what makes it fun.
HoopsStep onto the court and get ready to sink your shots. This technicolor court will take everything you’ve got.
ClimbRock climbing with landmines. Getting from point A to point B has never been more challenging.
ArenaSo many targets. So little time. In this room, your job is to throw with the speed and accuracy of a pro.
GridThe floor is lava and it’s hotter than ever. With a rainbow of tiles at your feet, every step matters.
Mega GridWhere hopscotch meets disco. Your footwork, speed, and rhythm are everything in this game room.
Mega LaserImagine a room filled with lasers. Now, add a few more. And a couple more. Keep going.
PortalsIn one portal and out the other. It would be a lot simpler if they weren’t so far apart, but where’s the fun in that?
ScanTouch and go. Screen time is a lot more interesting with games that challenge your memory, strategy, and teamwork.
StrikeIt’s dodgeball meets darts. Hit a bullseye, or it’s lights out for you and your team.
PressPress the big glowing button. Just make sure it’s the right one, in the right order, at the right moment.
GripYou’ll need strong arms and deft hands. One move out of place and it could be game over.
