Activate Gaming Meetup

​Ever wanted to jump inside a video game? This Sunday afternoon we are taking over an interactive gaming arena in Coquitlam where you are the controller. Light-up floors, laser walls, reflex challenges, basketball hoops, and puzzle rooms that react to every move you make.

​You will team up in small groups, race against the clock, and try to beat each other's scores for 90 minutes of nonstop play. It is loud, a little competitive, and a really easy way to meet new people. Most of our crew comes solo, so come on your own or bring a friend.

​What to Expect

• ​90 minutes of unlimited play across all the game rooms

• ​Short team-based challenges that test speed, reflexes, coordination, and teamwork

• ​Teams get shuffled so you get to play with different people

• ​No gaming experience needed. If you can jump, dodge, and laugh at yourself, you are ready

• ​Light to moderate physical activity. Expect running, jumping, crawling, and a bit of sweat

• ​Optional hangout nearby after for anyone who wants to grab a bite
