Such a cool spot for an outing! My team came here for a work outing and it was so much fun! Be sure to come ready to workout because the activities here involve a lot of physical movement. The place is locate at hacienda crossings which has a ton of ample parking. No food or drinks are allowed in the area so be sure to consume prior. They also have lockers for storage. We did an activity in all or the rooms and I would say each one has it's own flair. They have ones where you can go grocery shopping, ones to shoot basketball, ones for throwing balls, laser ones, etc. My favorite was the laser one for sure! You have to be clever with how you navigate through the lasers. Make sure to click the ? on the screen to read the instructions. I'm for sure coming back again!

There's 15ish rooms and each room you can play different variations of that game. This is the screen where you pick the game and "tap in"

Came here to celebrate a friend bday. We were a group of 10. We had no idea what to expect but man did we have the best time. If you haven't been here dress comfy and bring your sneakers. We all had such a great time. I came back this week with my hubby for a day date. Just me and him or a large group the games are so fun and added bonus it's a work out. This is my second time there and Jarryl was there both times and super helpful.

Came here on a Sunday night around 1.5 hours before closing, party of 5, we had reservations beforehand. We're a mixed coed group in our 30s for context. If you haven't been here before - dress ready to run and sweat. There's multiple rooms with different games of different physical activity tolerance required - including ones where you press matching buttons on the wall, trivia, shooting basketballs, running around the room avoiding lasers, throwing baseballs at virtual asteroids, etc. This place is super fun! We opted for $30 for 60 minutes since it was my first time, and I definitely broke a sweat and was glad I wore comfortable shoes. Thankfully on a Sunday evening, it didn't feel crowded at all, the most we waited for some rooms was maybe a few minutes. I would recommend coming here with someone who has done it before, because there is a sort of a learning curve of how to prioritize your time with the rooms you enjoy playing. The wristbands make it super easy for your group to "tap in" to the screens outside the rooms. They also have lockers where you can store your stuff, and little "prizes" that you can win for earning points (think cheaper things like waterbottles, keychains, etc). It's super fun for people who don't really like working out, and it's a great place to burn off energy. I loved going with a party of 5 because it made the team games really fun to play. There's also water fountains for when you get thirsty. All the staff were super nice when we came and the large parking lot is easy to find space, especially if you come in the late evening (I think if you come on a weekend during the day, it's probably riddled with kids parties haha) 10/10 will come again!

Our first time here, and we had a blast! We made a reservation ahead of time, so we were able to check in at the counter when we arrived. We were given wrist bands (to track our gaming activities) and registered ourselves at the kiosk. We got another wristband to place our items in one of their lockers. I liked that we didn't need a key and basically just scanned the band to open/close the locker! The employee gave us detailed instructions before we started, which was super helpful. There are various games to choose from for each room and lasts 1-3 minutes each. There is also difficulty levels to choose from. We were able to play as a team but wanted to also play competitively against each other but didn't know how to. Maybe that is something we can figure out next time. Our favorite was jumping on the colored grids. You get to move onto the next round once you've successfully passed your current round. Because of all the physical exertion, we made sure to stretch beforehand. We played for 90 minutes ($45) and thought that was plenty of time but of course there were some games we didn't get to play. This place is great not only for kids but adults too. Definitely recommend coming here with friends/family!

saturday morning opening!

Super fun experience but it gets pretty crowded! We showed up when they opened on a Saturday morning and were able to play a couple games without getting kicked out of the room, but had to wait in lines quickly afterwards. Came again on a Sunday evening around 8:15pm hoping it would be less crowded, but there were lines at every room. The lines move pretty quickly though since if someone's waiting you can only go through one level. Mega Grid and Mega Lasers are the ones that usually have the longest lines so if you get an opportunity, try those ones out first! Coming later in the day is also a different experience - in the Strike and Hoop rooms, a lot of the balls end up on the floor throughout the day :(. In the Portals room, the first time we went in the morning we had one ball which made it a lot harder and when we came in the evening it looks like someone maybe brought in another ball from the Strike room! Doing some quick math, it looks like they allow 20 people for every 15 minute booking online. The first time I went, I think I saw 30 openings so maybe they're working on improving the crowd. There could be as many as 6 groups overlapping at one point so that's 120 people across 12 rooms. Some people come as bigger groups, but a lot of people come on dates so there could be anywhere from 2-5 people per room. Busy, but still a fun activity!

Hallway of games

I had my son's bday party there this past Saturday. It was really clean facility. My son and his friends had so much fun. I do wish they had more seats for parents all they had was 2 small tables and 6 chairs. They also should sell water in the lobby because those kids get so thirsty. If it's your first time coming bring a reusable water bottle or buy water at the gas station and a folding chair.

This place is super fun !! We came here for the first time!! all the rooms are super fun. Make sure you wear your gym clothes because it's gonna be a lot of active activity going on. Haha will definitely come back in here again !!!

This place is so fun!!!!!! Plenty of rooms and games to choose from. Staff is so friendly if youre w first timer. They just open less than 2 months ago. Once you sign a waiver you activate your wristband which collects all your data for game, coins and when you level up. It saved your data so every time you come back it just adds to the current player. So each game will be a different level when you come back. Reasonably price. Kids age 6 & up. Cant wait to go back

Didn't know this place existed till my ex husband who did some work here with his company back before they opened. We had a blast and man it was a work out. Fun for all ages and I'm happy there's a place for my kids to go burn off energy. I like how they provide lockers so you can place your things so you can run around. Pricing is a bit high but it's worth it. There's also water fountains in case you got hot and sweaty. You rack up points and can trade in for swag. Each room is about two minutes so you tap in and wait but it goes by pretty fast. Go check it out for yourself!

Fun for whole fam!
David L.

Want to game. But also want to disconnect? Wanna have a family wholesome time. That even make grandma slap her knee? Come to activate! Way better than laser tag ( and yes the laser will tag you). And it's got an element of escape room without the weird funky smell. This place is cheap and fun for the whole fam! Best $30 spent!

Ready to rock some mazes and games!
Carolyn W.

We went here for the first time today and our family had a blast! There is a great variety of games. The staff was very attentive and friendly and happy to help. I had 2 9-year-old boys that had so much fun running and jumping and throwing balls and ducking lasers. The facility was extremely clean. I felt the kids and adults were always safe. This would be a perfect family outing where everyone gets exercise.

Screens

Great experience for both kids and adults. Activate Dublin is a really fun and high-energy place where everyone can get involved. The games are super interactive, well designed, and keep you moving the entire time. Kids and adults can play together, which makes it a great option for families, birthdays, or group outings. Everything felt organized and engaging, and the overall experience was very enjoyable. One thing to note--like others have mentioned in their reviews--there isn't a specific designated area for adults who prefer not to participate and just wait for their kids, other than the lobby. That said, if you're planning to play, it's an awesome experience and definitely worth checking out.

See all

Went here with my wife and two teenage boys and we had a blast. I can see this being a great birthday activity or a small department outing.

Everyone had a blast on a Saturday night, wasn't too crowded and never waited more than a minute to play a game in one of the room.

This place is so fun and my kids love it. Staff are always incredibly helpful and nice. I…read moreespecially appreciate how the people working the track ensure safety and rules are respected. We were a bit disappointed because I had received an email that it was drift night, but when we arrived it had actually been the night before. Marketing really needs to have accurate messaging going out. I double checked the email to see if I'd read it right and it indeed had the wrong night listed. Kids were super bummed, but decided to go out and drive and still had a great time. The track was a tad slippery still from drift night so they actually had a few tiny drift moments. They have food and drinks available for reasonable prices. Mostly pub type food, as well as snacks and candy. Lots of nonalcoholic and alcoholic beverages available. There's a pool table and other games in an arcade area. Plenty of seating options. I love that electric carts are available, as I don't miss having to breathe in fumes with the former gas carts. Yay for technology! Plenty of parking out front. You can register to play online before you arrive or at the door.

Came here to celebrate a birthday with less than 2 weeks notice. Mini package in the late…read moreafternoon. 2 laps for 8 min to 12 max teenagers/ adults. $85 plus service charge. You can pre register online and just check in upon arrival. You're immediately assigned a host to guide you through the event. In the beginning the process was a bit confusing but it all got sorted out by the time the race began. All drivers got a safety instruction. Then guided to 2 guys to help with helmet fitting. Birthday girl was girl in line as cars weee assigned to everyone in the party. There is a place to sit and watch the racers doing their laps. The 1st lap took some getting used to. But since it was a private track time for the party, there were no unnecessary public interactions crashing cars into each other. Safety first which I really appreciated. The girls had a complete blast once they figured out how the cars drove. There was a short 20 min break in between laps where they were given drink cards and game cards to use $10 ea. The second lap was the one that counts and who won 1st 2nd 3rd place. In the end everyone received a certificate and got to stand on the podium for pics. We brought our own cake. K1 provided the sliders and pretzel dogs and utensils plates. The party section was spacious and clean. Loved the decor. Great for older kids and adults as some of the parents, kids at heart, had to refrain from joining in on the party. Many of the kids weren't able to use their game card as we ran out of time. The kids saved it for their next visit. I would recommend this place for parties or a night out or even team building event.

So I have very mixed feelings about this place. Some things are incredible. Some things are not…read moreso great. I am a member of the "Legends" club. So that to me means it's top of the line membership as indicated by their pricing and what we get. So I feel I should get top notch deals, pricing and service. Turns out, we get the same shaft as the lower club members. Starting with the good, the location is pristine. Nice area with lots of room for kids and adults to mingle and play. The wine is also pretty darn good. Of course there are some better than others but I enjoy most of their wine. The service is also for the most part very good. The waitstaff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome. Their food is also pretty darn good. It's not incredible, and a bit overpriced but it's fine enough. Their wine pricing is also fair (but of course with the highest membership we get the biggest discount). My biggest complaints would be the price gouging and lack of communication. We made arrangements on a Friday to show Sunday with 6 and asked for the "VIP space upgrade to lounge or upstairs Vista Patio Lounge (when available)". They said no problem. When we showed on Sunday they said it was closed with no notice. Just a sorry. OK whatever. We sit inside (6 people and 2 children) and they charge for 2 children a "non drinker" charge of $10 ($5 each). A head count charge for non-drinkers? For children? Total nonsense! I am spending over $1,200 a year here and you want to gouge me for someone's kids? Their tastings are $40 a pop which is really crazy. Our price is waived on this so that's fine but if you are not a member you are paying a lot for a little. The wines do take a bit of time to come and they don't give you a lot. Kind of a bummer waiting for the taste. We ended up with 4 appetizers (sliders $24, Charcuterie $25, Tater Tots $12 and Pretzel Bites with Grilled Sausage $16) 2 bottles of wine and $4.25 for water and the bill was over $250. Oh and top that off, with 6 people, they charge a mandatory 20% on the bill for a tip and are basing that with taxes (as the button default), not the actual sub-total so they are actually getting about 23%. All in all, I am not sure that the cost is worth what you get. I mean we are giving them a lot of money just to be members and then having to pay more and more for anything else that really should be included (like water and kids) makes this place just a bit too over-rated for me. Probably end my club membership in the fall and go someplace that doesn't place money first.

First of all, I want to say this rating is from purely a walk-in experience and not a birthday…read moreparty. I decided to take my son here as we love crafting together. The pros: The space was bright, colorful, organized and clean. The staff were friendly and informative and didn't mind giving us extra paint when we wanted additional colors. Love that you can just walk right in without reservations. The cons: Wow is this place expensive for what you get. Most of their items that you can paint can easily be found in the dollar section at Target or for less the $5 at Michael's. The cheapest item to paint was $15 and those were very small pieces which can easily be painted in less than 10 minutes. My son chose a wooden snake and I chose a window clings wind chime. Each were $22. I would expect more expensive prices for items like this if maybe you get some special tools or paints to use. You simply get a paper plate with acrylic colors of your choice and paint brushes. I do not feel this is worth the price when I can easily replicate this experience in my own home for less than $10. Overall, the idea is great but they need to make this experience more unique in order for it to be worth the price. For example, there is another craft place in Pleasanton that you can create ceramics that have to go into a kiln for around the same price. That is not something I can replicate in my own home and is therefore worth the price.

Very friendly and personable staff. The my Son enjoyed painting the light house ceramic. No…read morepressure. No rush. A really calm and tranquil place to just let go and be creatif.
