Our work group did a team building event at Activate. We had a ball!…read more This venue is located in Park South Plaza on Highway 31 in Vestavia Hills, next to Taziki's. Our manager paid for us to play 60 minutes. Before we went, we had to complete a waiver online and choose our game name. There were restrooms inside where you could change clothes (cause I heard if you are competitive, you would sweat a lot). They also have lockers - activated by a wrist key fob - so you could put your purse and keys somewhere safe. It's a dark area full of arcade rooms (maybe about 10 or 12 rooms in total). Each room has several games from which you can choose to play. Our group of 12 people were split into 3 teams of 4. The front desk attendant gave us all a wrist fob that we had to activate with our game account. The attendant explained how to play. Choose the game, all players scan their fob, then wait until the current team playing in the room exits before you go in. Scores are based on how well you do. If there is no one waiting outside the room after the game completes, you can move to the next level and continue playing. My team's first couple of games went so wrong and we questioned ourselves and our lives many times while playing. However, we got the hang of it and enjoyed ourselves so much! My favorite game was in the "Grid" room, where they called a color and the team had 5 seconds to get to a space with that color. So fun! If you are looking for a fun place to "be a kid again", this is the place to go!

We got there right at opening so the floor wasn't over packed. My favorite part is when they drop the main lights and turn on the colored ones, it's just a fun vibe. We also went go karting and that was fun as well. The karts aren't the newest but still give you a good zip ane zag around the track. This was a nice one stop shop for several different, family friendly activities.

My line sisters and me were here for our quarterly/ sister meet up. We enjoyed releasing some stress on objects. We destroyed everything in our site! Our room was reserved for a hour, based on the number in our party. We didn't stay the entire time slot but we still had fun. I wish the Bluetooth speaker would have been working in our room. It would have just added to the experience. This was our first time visiting BRR. We talked about returning to do paint ball. We'll see!! I recommend checking here out if you wanna unleash some tension or if you just wanna SMASH some stuff!

I was super impressed with the employees at Breakout Games. We had to reschedule our game, and they were very accommodating. Also, our game host was great!

We had 5 people, and it wasn't too crowded, plus everyone had something to do at all times. Everyone in our group was hooked afterward and wanted to come back and try all the other games. This was a great birthday activity!! I highly recommend it.

Worst customer service ever. I'm visiting Birmingham and…read morebought the ticket and realized I bought the wrong date. Bought the ticket on a Monday for Friday the day I was leaving Birmingham. I called and got the answering machine telling me to email them. I emailed them Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. I stopped by at all different times when they said they were open online. Nobody was ever there. Finally received an email from someone FRIDAY saying they gave me a credit to use in future. I don't live there never coming back. I stop by to get reimbursed and finally someone showed up to work! I was told just to email customer service over and over again. That there's no corporate. No one to speak to.
