Spencer was our game host and he was awesome and funny. He took care of us and explained everything to us perfectly (we were first timers) and most importantly he had banter and made jokes. You do get sweaty and move around in the game, so stretch beforehand and wear light clothing. Definitely cool experience and coming back to play stranger things. We played Phobia which had zombies. There’s minor glitches but still went smoothly.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with teens and older children β€” the physical intensity, zombie themes, and full-body tracking suit the 10-and-up crowd. First-timers are fully supported by knowledgeable game hosts. Groups who enjoy active gaming, teamwork challenges, or escape-room-style experiences get the most out of each session.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Wear light, comfortable clothing β€” sessions are physically demanding and you will sweat
⏰Stretch before your session β€” the full-body movement is more intense than it looks
🎟️Wrist and leg straps may loosen during intense play β€” ask staff to readjust between rounds
πŸš—Book group or birthday sessions in advance, especially for weekends
