📍 East Rutherford, NY
Active gaming venue with 9 rooms offering competitive (pink) and cooperative (blue) technology-based challenges for all ages. Wristband scan puts your name on-screen. Free parking on-site.
Really lived up to the hype. Loved this place. 9 different rooms with a bunch of options to choose from. The highlighted pink games mean your competing while the highlighted blue options mean you are working together. When you scan your wristband on the screen your name will pop up on the screen colored. You are that color when you enter the room. Can't say enough about the staff truly nice and helpful in a wild environment. This place is great highly recommend it.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for active families who want technology-driven play that gets every member off the bench. The split between competitive and cooperative rooms means younger kids and competitive teens can both find their groove. Early arrival unlocks longer runs in each room before crowds build.

“My family had a blast! Lots of great games forcing everyone to move! Our family teamwork could use the exercise. I recommend going early before it gets busy. This allowed us to stay in one room longer, playing higher levels. As it got busier, we'd have to get out and re-sign up to get another turn.”

“Went to here on a date & had an awesome time. Everyone was super kind & helpful. Mike & Owen gave great game recommendations & made the experience even better. We’re already excited to come back—especially with the expansion coming. 10/10, highly recommend!”
