We had a group of about 10 people try this out on a Saturday around 11am without really knowing what to expect, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. The staff was extremely patient and helpful--even when we didn't fully understand the concept after a few explanations, they encouraged us to just jump in and even walked us through a game. After that, we caught on quickly and had a blast. We were able to walk in with almost no wait, and anytime we needed a room it was less than 2 minutes. The concept is very interactive and fun--60 minutes was the perfect amount of time to explore without feeling rushed or burned out. Lockers with keys were provided, which was convenient. I understand why drinks may not be available inside given the tech and setup, but that's the only small improvement I'd note. A couple rooms had a slight odor issue, but nothing that took away from the experience. Overall, a solid 5-star experience--highly recommend for groups, families, or anyone looking for something active and different. read more

When escape rooms meet video games and intellect. This was the perfect place to go and have a great time. It felt good to be a kid again. They had so many rooms with so many different games to choose from. My advice, dress comfortable because you will move around a lot unless you like losing! The staff was nice and all of the equipment was clean and working properly. They give an hour and a half and that seems like more than enough time to have a blast. I will be back with my kids this time!! read more

This place is so much fun for kids and adults. The first time we went was for my son's birthday, and we all had a blast. There are a lot of game options to fit all skill levels. I couldn't wait to return when my 12 year old step son came to visit for the summer. He had such a great time. Heads up: Make a reservation ahead of time, and bring water (they don't have drinks available). They do have lockers if you need to put your things up. read more

Activate Atlanta was so much fun! If you're into teamwork, friendly competition, and staying active, this is such a solid date idea. The games really get you moving and communicating, which makes it way more engaging than your typical night out. We laughed a lot, strategized, and definitely worked up a sweat. Already planning a return visit because it's the kind of experience that feels new every time. Perfect for dates, friend groups, or anyone who loves interactive fun. read more

This is a fantastic place to get activated! The mini games last for only a few minutes each but there are several to choose from and most of them have a couple of styles each as well. Plus they get harder as you move up in levels. It is active interaction... climbing, throwing, stepping in the right places. Dodging the lasers... it is a fully interactive gaming place. The cost is so reasonable too!! Be sure to book your spot on line at least a day ahead because times do sell out. The gaming session last for 90 mins of fun! Groups of 4-5 play at a time... if you have more than 5 you just split up into different groups. They give you a wrist tracker you use to scan in at every game and it tracks your points and levels. So each time you come back it keeps building. Tons of active fun! The kids and I had a blast! Even my 16 year old loved it! I highly suggest giving this a try... I loved it as an adult as well. read more

Wow what a time! Keep your group small or be willing to split up. I love that they had so many rooms and each room had different activities that you could do. There is countless hours of fun to be had. I enjoy the technology and ease of the experience. It is such a great time. My favorite was the asteroid game even though my arms were soooo tired afterwards. I did run into some trouble in two of the rooms. They were not properly registering our movement which can get frustrating. Try coming on off peak times to avoid crowds and long wait times. read more

Activate Games - Scoreboard - Arcades Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We'd been to one in another state and this one didn't seem to be as fun. It's difficult to enjoy the games you choose, or really get into them because someone was always waiting to enter next. With the level of physical activity and the amount of movement required, I feel there should be water stations. Some of the equipment didn't work properly (basketball hoops not registering shots, "touch" screens not registering contact). The environment seemed clean, locker worked fine to hold items we didn't want to carry. read more

This was our second time visiting Activate Atlanta. We went as a group of 14 on a Saturday afternoon around 4:00pm. We arrived and the employees at AA checked us in, provided the wristbands for the games, lockers and explained everything to us. The five stars are for the customer service at the end of our gaming experience. We took a group photo in the main lobby and my water bottle dropped, broke and water leaked all over the floor. The AA employees cleaned it up with no fuss and provided me with a new AA water bottle at no charge because mine broke. I thought this was the nicest gesture and made my day. Thank you Activate Atlanta for a wonderful experience! read more

This place is a lot of fun for kids and adults. We came on a Friday night and even though it was busy, the wait for the rooms were very reasonable. There are lots of different rooms to choose from and we didn't even get to try them all! This place will keep everyone excited and entertained. We had a little kid with us and he had a lot of fun (some rooms may be a little challenging but it's a blast for them nonetheless) I will be coming back for sure! read more

I didn't not know what to expect when my boss said we were having a team building event at Activate. When we arrive the staff explained thoroughly what to do and how to maximize everything Activate had to offer. Lockers are available or to store personal items. We were escorted back to the gaming area. We turned into kids in a candy store. So many gaming options. Great for all ages. If you're competitive please do yourself a favor and go. read more

This was the MOST FUN PLACE ever!!! I brought my team here for some fun team building after a week at a conference. I just wanted to do something fun with them and found this. I'm not from Atlanta so I'd never heard of this place other than finding it on Yelp. So glad I did! We had so much fun for 75 full minutes. It was a group of us - 6 ladies - and I'm 41 and not crazy active but this place made me get out of comfort zone, have fun, and sweat!! When you walk in, you are immediately transported to a totally new place, like something I'd never seen before. The color grid game was where I started and it felt like I was on a game show hopping from color to color. I think what I liked the most about the experience is how you can choose team games where you work together or competitive games. Either is good but for team building sake, you really have to work together to problem solve the game and its directions as a team. So while some of the games were hard to understand, THATS THE POINT! We got so much out of this as teammates and as friends. It was a blast! My favorite games were the light puzzle game, the lasers (literally like you're on a game show - I felt like a ninja! ), and the color grid. You should know, though, that the games are ACTIVE. You will sweat. It's like a work out at a gym because you're running around for many of the games and you have a timer so you have to go fast. But if that's what the gym is like, sign me up! I mean, I think I'd prefer that to the gym and would totally go often! I am from Reno so I asked them if there was one close to me. The closest is in a state away so I asked about franchising and they said they offer this! I loved it so much that I want someone to open one in Reno!!! read more

Make a reservation at least a day in advance as time slots can fill up quickly. The checking in process was quick and straightforward. Wristbands are given for games and the time starts when you tap for your first game. If you a need a locker, ask and they will give you another wristband for it. The games are entertaining and can make you break a sweat. Some rooms are glitchy or broken and it doesn't seem like they are quick to fix it. Lines can get long which eats into your time limit. It'd be helpful to see what rooms are open. read more

Fun! You can make a reservation online or walk in, though you may not be able to play right away if they're busy, so I recommend booking online ahead of time. It's pretty quick and simple. You pay the price of one person playing online, and then your party arrives day of, and you pay the rest. They have many different types of games, both competitive and cooperative. A lot of the games have some kind of physical activity and get more difficult the higher the level, so wear clothes you don't mind sweating in and bring something to stay hydrated! There's a water fountain inside for those who don't mind. You play games in a smaller room, so it's not in the way of others, and it feels more private for you and your friends. From what I noticed while playing, if there isn't a queue for the room you're playing in, you can press the button inside to continue/retry a level. If there is a group outside, once you're done with the round, you'll have to exit. It's pretty good when it's not too busy because certain games are definitely more popular and fun than others. read more

So much fun! There are a lot of different games options (basketball, shooting, maze, laser, finding objects and identifying patterns, photo booth, etc.) Price was reasonable per person. The staff are friendly I really took the time to explain the house rules and how things work at Activate. They provided locker to store personal items. Honestly, this is my first time And I had a blast with my friends. Perfect venue for birthday party, special celebration, or just a simple hang out with friends. read more

The best place for games in ATL! Super fun and unique games. I went at 11:30 on a Sunday and it was perfect because we had about 45 minutes before more people starting coming in and lines started forming our side of the games. I recommend athleisure and leaving your jackets in the lockers because a lot of the games are a true workout and you will leave sweating. The staff is super nice and answered all questions I had on the phone and during my visit. Looking forward to going back again! read more

5 stars all the way! Our group of 5 had an amazing time!!! The check in process was extremely seamless. They provide bands and have electronic waivers. Once you're ready, there's a staffer in front of the game room who explains how everything works. Your time doesn't start until your first game. Since it was our first time, we watched the tutorials for each game. Beware, the tutorials make games look very easy. Items in the game room are harder than they appear. We were tireddddd. But it was a lot of fun and we quickly identified our favorite games (hoops, control, climb and a game where you run around hitting numbers). Dress prepared to engage in physical activity. I only wish they had a vending machine with water because whew . I love that with each scan outside of a game room, it shows the current ranking among your team. Colors change based on your position. I hope to come back! read more

Very affordable. Less than $100 for 4 people and we all played together for 60. Mins. wear comfortable clothes and be prepared to sweat. You should be able to pause your time while using the bathroom or waiting for rooms to empty. read more

Lots going on in here once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy staff or friendly. They'll let you know what's going on. We went in there. There was a lot of games to play time went by pretty fast. The games all have how to play on it so it explains it for you Mixed crowd when you go here. read more

This was such a fun time. I didn't quite know what to expect but I was so glad I saw a Tik tok prior to coming because I was able to dress in athletic wear and comfy shoes. It was truly a workout and brought out our inner child. The only thing that sucked a little was that when it's crowded you don't get as much time in the games but with the allotted time given you still get to experience everything and enjoy yourself. Definitely recommend- wear workout clothes & read the directions before you go in! read more

Best time ever! Be prepared to run! This is NOT a be cute situation! You will be running and sweating so fun! You can play as a competition or team work. Several options and everyone is nice! They even have lockers! Liberty checked me in she was super helpful and Kenneth helped us once we were inside! Will def be back! read more

Came here with another couple and it was SO FUN! You can reserve your spot ahead of time, by booking online. The check in process is pretty straight forward and you get a locker to keep your things in. I would advise that you come dressed like you're going to the gym, because we saw a couple who looked like they were on a date and we wondered how the guy was gonna manage in his slim cut, tailored pant. Any who, this place is family friendly but great for a group of friends as well! The reps were super helpful and its not hard to catch on once you get going. Do not come here on a full belly, but come ready to let your hair down and have a great time! TIPS: Fanny packs recommended if you want to keep your phone on ya & consider coming when the kids are at school - this will buy you more time. Enjoy! read more

What a fun experience for not only kids but anyone who wants to challenge themselves! There are about 15 rooms with varying game modes and levels that can be done. Depending on how active or mental you want to be, there's a game for you to play. They have wrist bands that track everything down to the last minute of game play (which I highly advise fully utilizing) as well as the points from playing. In the middle of the room is even an overall score board of everyone who has/is playing. This is a wonderful concept and beautifully done. Would love to come again. read more

This place is blowing my mind with their interactive experiences. Imagine this: high-tech challenges that get your body moving and your brain buzzing, all while laughing so hard your cheeks hurt! We spent the whole afternoon here and it was an absolute blast! (absolutey loved Hoops) read more

I went here to celebrate my fiancée son birthday . He turned 10. We brought 3 of his friends and they all had a blast. It several rooms to choose from our favorite being the laser room and although the time for each room is short it's still very enjoyable and you can level up( each level gets more difficult) definitely will be going back for a date night without the kiddos!!! read more

I missed this event with a friend a few months ago so I was happy when I was able to do it with the same friend and some of her family and friends from out of town. What a blast! The games are all interactive. Using your body and mind in different ways. I like the layout with the neon lights and separate rooms for activities. I'm giving a four because they need a vending machine with water! There was a water fountain by the bathroom that looked a little questionable. I wasn't risking it lol some activities are so high energy, you're literally dying for some water after. I'd suggest bringing your own and storing it in one of the lockers. Wear comfortable clothes and sneakers because you'll be moving A LOT. Kid friendly but also great for a date or friend outing. Fun but was really light cardio. I'd def go again. Just with my own water bottle lol read more

Activate was a great time! You come in there and then they gear you up with a wristband to be able to get into the game rooms. You'll go there and they'll tell you about hundreds of games that you can possibly play. You got on the hallway and there's a hallway full of small rooms and fit 3 to 5 people. And then you basically pick where you want to go. The rooms themselves are 100% interactive hearing You may be throwing something like a rubber ball or a basketball, you may be playing the floor is lava or jumping over lasers or jumping over a rope made of lights based on the tiles of the floor, it could be anything! I would a thousand percent go back! It was super solid! If you go, just know, you will get hot and you will most likely sweat so wear some comfortable and moving friendly clothing. Don't try to be cute wearing some tight stuff that you can't move around in! This will make you raw fast or run or whatever. I saw somebody in there with some tight jeans and some timberland boots, I know that he was unsuccessful on his date lol lol. But you get 75 minutes to go and do all the things. You can go to as many game rooms as possible as many as you can fit. You can trade teammates if you brought a lot of people with you, so that's cool as well so you don't have to play with the same people the entire time. It's a super fun to interactive experience and I would definitely suggest trying it out at the next small gathering of people want to do something different than go do chicken wings and hookah. read more

This place was SOO much fun!! I'm so upset that it's not in Arizona! I planned this as an activity for my husband and I while we were on vacation on atlanta, and it is by far our favorite experience of the whole trip (and we did a lot!) !! We originally attempted to just show up and play on a Friday afternoon around 3pm, however we were told that the next available time would not be until 8:30pm. I was disappointed but still had days left in the trip, so I went home and made a reservation for Monday. Upon getting there, staff was friendly and explained everything we needed to know. I love that they assign you a locker, it came in handy! There are multiple rooms with multiple choices of game play in each room. You can also choose to play cooperatively with those you came with or competitively, which was also really cool and added to all the games you could play. In each room, you can continue playing increasing levels, or even try again if you failed the current game. You can view your ranking amongst other people playing or even against those your playing with by scanning your bracelet given. This is also how you scan into rooms. 75 minutes is the perfect duration, as it was seriously a work out, the most fun workout I've had actually. I love that there's plentiful benches outside the rooms and a water fountain, though I think they are slacking not having a vending machine with drinks/snacks. They also had a photo booth room that we took full advantage of. That room could have been better labeled as well, as we would have missed it (though they do tell you it's there) if we weren't trying to go in every room. If you're debating going here or wondering if the money is worth it, I would encourage you to go, it's definitely worth a try! Please add more sites, and come to Tucson! read more

All-around fun! I went there with my church group and we were in there for hours! Great fun, huge variety of games, you wouldn't get bored if you played for a million years straight! read more

Came early so it's plenty parking. Building looks small from outside. Got inside and it was soooo much fun. Get there early so you can play the same game back to back because if someone is waiting to play it will limit your game to just 1 regardless of how well you do. Staff friendly. $30 per person want bad either for about 1.5hr of playtime. read more

This is a great place to go with a group! It definitely made my friends and I feel like kids again. It was 8 of us so we split up in groups of 4. After playing a few games, we switched groups. They have a variety of games from memory games to super activate/physical games. We got a workout in and had a blast! I'd go back for sure! read more

I had fun and worked up a serious sweat here. I didn't bother taking photos but plenty exist. Definitely a good place for a date or a group activity. read more

The games were fun. you have to read the instructions on how to play the games or you will be lost. I think they should add a food court and this poll place will be a 5 read more

So much fun! Great for all ages and you'll definitely work up a sweat in some of these rooms. The staff was really great in explaining how everything worked and provided free lockers as well. I love that Activate only counts your active playtime, so you do not have to stress if you find yourself needing a rest/water break. It was very reasonably priced and I had an absolute blast. Highly recommend. read more

I have been wanting to go to a place like this for a long time, so when my gf sent it to me I was like let's go! It was so much fun! The have a lot of different games, and I liked how everything was set up in terms of accessing everything. The locker for your items is free, plus, and if it is your first time you will have to sign up, but it took less than a minute if even and they had a separate section dedicated to it with iPads. Overall I was happy and would definitely want to go back. Each room has different games that you can preview before you select what you want to do. Wait for the people who are in the room to finish the game and go out the exit, and they you go inside. Each room explains the game, but sometimes there is a delay and that is the reason why I am giving this place a 4, because there were a couple of times when we went into the room the voice was already saying, game start and unfortunately in some instances you only have one chance and then bam, exit the room. Additionally I wish the rooms were closed off. It is a little difficult to hear what the voice is telling you to do when you can here a party in another room screaming over it. All things considered, I will be back! Make sure you book in advance, slots fill up quickly! $60 for two people for an hour and 15 minutes (I'm pretty sure they gave us more time though!) read more

Normally I love activate. Big fan. It's stupid hot in there though. They know we are exercising. Be serious. Cool it down. Then today was busy. So. Busy. Come when kids are in school because it was kids everywhere like roaches. Then when I came in the man added an extra 15 minutes and I didn't even ask for it. I was wondering why it was $65 when it's $25 a head. Then I saw it was an hour and 15 when we were playing. Annoying. One of the games, grid, was tweaking so hard. It's saying land on the green. We were literally jumping up and down on the green and it wasn't sensing. We are both over 200 so.... We aren't too light. My husband told me to stand still on the green. Didn't work. One game was in maintenance mode so that didn't help. Because it was so many people we really couldn't play games more than once ESPECIALLY hoops and lasers. The restrooms were clean which I love. Unfortunately the paper towels were out which I HATE. Toilets are manual not automatic. You decide if that's important. The screens would glitch too. I'm only giving four because of the past experiences. If it was just today... psh read more

We really enjoyed this place. A few games weren't the best, but overall it was a good experience

Activate games was so cool, we went for the first time on December 29, 2024 and it was fun.
