Team Building
The Better Group Event
Groups of 10+ save 20% Monday-Thursday
So, you’ve been tasked with booking the annual team building activity and landed here. Welcome. Consider us the less corporate version of a team trivia with way more opportunity to strengthen bonds and skills.
We offer two ways to play, cooperative or competitive. In the cooperative experience, groups can be rearranged at any point, encouraging all coworkers to mingle and work together. In the competitive style, participants stay with their assigned group for the full session to see which team is the most successful.
Go ahead - give your team something to talk about around the water cooler, and officially cross this off your to-do list.
Why choose Activate?
Activate provides a team building experience unlike any other. Our games help your team learn to work together and value everyone’s contribution. Here are just a few skills team members can expect to utilize and grow:
All experiences come with at least 75 minutes of gameplay. Games are played on teams of 2-5. We can accommodate up to 22 teams (88 players) at the same time.

Wow! My group had so much fun here. The variety of games and different difficulty settings made the experience very personal and adaptable. We especially enjoyed Lasers. The staff was super friendly and helpful in explaining how the games worked. The lockers made it very easy to store any belongings. Another cool aspect is the wristbands, which allow players to track their points during the games. I was impressed by how easy it was to move room to room. We will definitely be returning in the future!

This place is incredible! We went with a group of friends for my wife’s birthday and we all had a blast! All the games are unique and interactive! Make sure you wear clothes that you can be active in because you'll definitely work up a sweat!

We took a large group (17 people) here for New Year's, ranging in age from 12-50. Everyone had a great time...the games were physically challenging but accessible, and each group/team found their favorites that they wanted to Level Up in. Be prepared to sweat and have a fun time together. Highly recommend, and look forward to returning for another go sometime soon.

This. Place. Is. Freaking. Awesome. I had so much fun. [...] The Laser room was my favorite, having to dip duck dive and dodge to get to the other side. I want to do this every weekend!!
