Ep. 79: 'ACTIVATE' Play at MOA

Activate is a new interactive experience at Mall of America where guests (ages 6 and older) become players in their own video games.  With 13 different rooms, guests can customize their experience and work alone or in groups to solve puzzles, shoot hoops, dodge laser beams and jump, roll around and play, get silly and have fun!

2:13:  What is Activate

6:13:  Come prepared …it’s a workout in disguise so bring tennis shoes, comfortable clothes and water!

7:50:  Each room is a different game.  In ‘PRESS’ guests run around and match colors and patterns by pressing buttons.

10:03:  MEGA GRID:  This room senses where you are stepping.  It’s like playing Floor is Lava.

14:52:  Activate is for school groups, dates, bachelor and bachelorette parties, families…anyone who wants to be active and have fun!

19:00:  HOOPS:  In this room guests answer trivia questions and shoot the basket they believe is the correct answer.

20:25:  LASER ROOM:  This is a fan favorite!  Half the room is laser blasting games and the other half guests dodge lasers amongst and bit of haze.

*Activate is located on the 3rd floor, East side of Mall of America.  www.playactivate.com/mallofamerica
