Activate Unveils Its First Location in Germany to Revolutionize Entertainment Experience

Activate Arrives in Germany

Activate, North America's fastest-growing entertainment experience, has made a grand debut in Berlin, Germany, marking its first location in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland). With a footprint of 10,097 square feet (approximately 938 square meters), this newly launched venue is situated in the heart of the Mall of Berlin and features 11 unique gaming rooms, each with over 800 levels of challenges.

Through advanced RFID technology, each player is tracked across various spaces, allowing guests to climb through levels, unlock achievements, and earn Next Level Rewards. The challenges are not just about physical agility—they also require quick thinking and problem-solving skills, making each game a thrilling blend of both mental and physical engagement. Designed for teams of two to five, the experience is perfect for friends, families, or colleagues looking for some active fun, strategic thinking, and friendly competition.

Christian Ebster, co-founder of VRex Entertainment—a partner in this venture—expressed excitement over the opening, stating, "Social entertainment holds a significant place in German culture, and Activate offers something entirely different: a collective experience that encourages teams to move, think, and compete alongside one another. We can't wait to introduce this new form of entertainment to players in the entire DACH region."

Jeremiah Sizemore from Sounds Fun Entertainment echoed this sentiment, noting, "From the outset, we recognized a real opportunity to bring Activate to Germany with a partner who understood both the concept and the market well. The collaboration with VRex has been incredibly rewarding. They possess the local expertise, energy, and ambition to create something special here. We're excited about the Berlin opening and what lies ahead across Germany."

Originally conceived and developed in Canada, Activate has redefined the live entertainment landscape by merging technology with live-action gaming experiences. Adam Schmidt, co-founder and CEO of Activate, described the ethos behind their brand: "We built Activate to feel like a game, a workout, and a party all at once. Germany has a remarkable gaming culture, and we can't wait to see how players create their own experiences at Activate."

The Berlin venue is just the beginning, with more locations planned across the DACH region. This month, the Next Level Funpark in Fürth will welcome its new site featuring 12 gaming rooms, followed by a November opening at the Lili Mall in Wiesbaden, and another venue scheduled for spring 2027 in Vienna. Additionally, there are plans for further locations throughout Switzerland.
