Beat The Bomb, a new immersive gaming experience now open in Fifth Ward, challenges participants to either solve the codes, dodge lasers or get blasted with colorful slime or paint.

Explained

Teams consist of four to six players donning hazmat suits in order to disarm an explosive paint bomb, foam bomb or slime bomb.

With a handful of locations open across the United States, Beat The Bomb CEO Alex Patterson said in a Feb. 19 news release why Houston was the choice for the first location in Texas.

"It's vibrant arts community, lively social scene and strong corporate presence align perfectly with our mission to create human connection through our immersive, colorful gaming technology," Patterson said.
