❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Activate White Marsh?
Activate White Marsh is an active gaming facility — not a traditional arcade. Instead of sitting and playing, you physically become the player. Each of the 13 high-tech game rooms uses interactive technology that reacts to your movements in real time. Games include the viral Mega Grid, Mega Laser, Strike, Control, and more.
How old do you have to be to play?
Activate is open to anyone 6 years of age and older. However, the games are designed with adults in mind and may be challenging for children under 10. Younger kids are welcome but should come prepared for a physical challenge!
Do I need to book in advance?
It is strongly recommended to book online ahead of your visit to secure your preferred time slot. Walk-ins are welcome but subject to availability — especially on weekends when the venue fills up fast.
How long does a visit typically last?
Most visitors spend around 75 minutes enjoying the various game rooms. Individual games within each room last approximately 1–3 minutes each, so you can cycle through many challenges in one session.
Can I choose the difficulty of the games?
Yes! Each game room allows you to select your difficulty level, making it suitable for casual players and competitive gamers alike.
How many people can play together in one room?
Each game room has a maximum of 5 players. If your group is larger, you will need to split into separate groups for each room — but you can rotate through rooms together as a full party.
Is Activate White Marsh good for team building events?
Absolutely. Activate offers two group play styles for corporate and team-building events:
- Cooperative: Groups are rearranged throughout to encourage mingling and collaboration across teams.
- Competitive: Participants stay with their assigned group for the full session to see which team wins.
These formats make it an excellent alternative to traditional team trivia or office outings.
