Activate cracks the code for egg-cellent Easter fun

An active social gaming attraction, it originated in North America, where it has proved a phenomenal success, and had its European launch at The O2 just before Christmas. It's now ranked #5 of nearly 1,000 fun and games experiences in London by Tripadvisor.

Activate has been brought to the UK by the team behind Boom Battle Bar and is inviting families to unleash their competitive side by running, jumping, climbing, crawling and problem-solving their way through the Easter holidays.

There are 12 real-time interactive game rooms that promise to deliver a high-energy, adrenaline-fuelled adventure with nine games to complete including Strike, Portals, Control, Press, Hide, Laser, Grid, Mega Grid and Hoops. There are even some games where you can put your spelling to the test with the Spellinator.

Each competitive activity takes around 1-3 minutes to complete, and each member of a couple is given an electronic wristband that tracks their progress so they can rack up points, advance through the levels and win a range of Activate-branded gear, as they become more skilful and build up their points, and gain the reputation as the best.

The whole experience lasts 60 minutes, and after you have finished, there is the chance to explore the O2, its shops and many places to eat and drink.
