Introduction: Why Activate Games Are Gaining Popularity

Activate Games are interactive attractions that combine lights, motion, sensors, and teamwork challenges, creating a next-level entertainment experience. They are now trending in Family Entertainment Centers (FECs), malls, trampoline parks, and children’s activity venues.

However, installing them isn’t as simple as just setting up the machines. To maximize profitability and ensure smooth operation, operators must carefully plan the installation process. Let’s explore the key factors to consider when installing Activate Games.

1. Space and Layout Planning

The first step in a successful installation is evaluating your venue space.

Ceiling Height: Many interactive games use lighting grids and sensors; you’ll need adequate overhead clearance.

Open Floor Area: Ensure enough room for players to move freely, especially for team-based activities.

Flow of Players: Plan for smooth entry, exit, and queuing zones to avoid congestion.

Future Expansion: Leave room for upgrades or additional games in the future.

BLEE Tips: We offer 3D layout design services so operators can visually understand how Activate Games' various games (such as super grid games, laser games, flash games, and more) will fit into their space.

2. Electrical and Network Setup

Activate Games rely on stable technical infrastructure.

Power Supply: Ensure proper voltage and dedicated circuits to avoid overloads.

Internet Connectivity: Many Activate Games require Wi-Fi or LAN for scoreboards, updates, or multiplayer functions.

Cable Management: Safe wiring prevents accidents and keeps the venue tidy.

3. Safety and Compliance

Since Activate Games are physical and interactive, safety is a priority.

Flooring: Use anti-slip materials to prevent accidents.

Protective Padding: Consider soft edges or barriers in high-activity zones.

Signage: Clear safety rules and instructions must be visible.

Local Regulations: Check if your country or state requires safety certification for amusement equipment.

4. Staff Training and Operations

Well-trained staff ensure a smooth guest experience.

Game Facilitation: Staff should guide players through levels and challenges.

Basic Troubleshooting: Employees must handle resets, sensor calibration, or minor software issues.

Customer Interaction: Encourage staff to create excitement and explain rules clearly.

BLEE Advantage: We provide on-site or remote training so your team can operate confidently from day one.

5. Maintenance and Downtime Management

To protect your investment, maintenance must be part of your plan.

Daily Tasks: Clean touchscreens, check sensors, inspect lights.

Weekly Tasks: Test calibration, verify software stability, and inspect hardware joints.

Spare Parts: Keep essential components (sensors, controllers) available to minimize downtime.

After-Sales Service: Work with a supplier like BLEE that provides global technical support.

6. Marketing and Promotion Strategy

Installing Activate Games is only the start—marketing ensures profitability.

Social Media Content: Share videos of players enjoying the game to boost online visibility.

Group Packages: Offer discounts for birthday parties, school trips, or corporate team building.

Leaderboard Competitions: Engage repeat players with challenges and prizes.

Cross-Selling: Bundle Activate Game sessions with snacks, VR rides, or claw machines.

7. Cost and ROI Expectations

A crucial consideration for investors is return on investment (ROI).

Initial Cost: Varies depending on game size and technology.

Average ROI Timeline: Typically 12–18 months, faster in high-traffic venues.

Revenue Model: Charge per play, time-based packages, or integrate into entry fees.

From BLEE’s experience: Operators who combine Activate Games with arcade center equipment (like claw machines and racing simulators) generate higher customer retention and revenue.
