Activate Games held a grand opening event for its new Plano location at 5013 W. Plano Parkway on April 19 and 20.
Activate offers a large variety of high-tech games that blend digital and physical activities. A visit can last 75 minutes, with games taking anywhere from 1-3 minutes each. Scores are tracked throughout a visit by using an electronic wristband.
Owner Bryce Anderson called Activate “a new way to play.”
“Activate is a physical arcade that combines the best of video games and sports,” he said. “It’s like being placed inside of a video game, so people think, ‘Oh, I'm wearing a headset,’ but there's no headset. It's all physical, so you're touching physical buttons or stepping on physical tiles.”
