Activate Opens Its First Location in Finland

In a significant milestone for its global expansion, Activate, the leading active gaming experience brand, has officially launched its first location in Helsinki, Finland. This new venue, located in the Itis shopping center, is the result of a strategic partnership with Realinvest, a prominent Scandinavian real estate and investment company operating throughout the Nordic region.

The Activate facility spans 929 square meters and features ten immersive gaming rooms filled with over 700 unique levels, including popular games like Mega Grid, Mega Laser, Strike, and Hide. Designed for teams of two to five players, these 60-minute sessions uniquely blend physical activity, strategy, and teamwork, offering a next-generation interactive entertainment experience that is currently unparalleled in Finland.

A Vision for Global Connection

“Our ultimate goal has always been to create a truly global gaming network that connects people through play,” stated Adam Schmidt, co-founder and CEO of Activate. “The opening of our first location in Finland is a crucial step towards realizing this vision. With our partnership with Realinvest, we bring Activate’s immersive, social entertainment to a market that values innovation. We are thrilled to welcome Finland into the global Activate community.”

Susanna Kolu, the Managing Director in Helsinki, added, “It's exhilarating to bring such an energy-filled gaming experience to Helsinki, where players literally step off their screens and onto the gaming field. The international success of Activate combined with the strong gaming culture in Finland makes this a perfect match.”

Founded in Canada in 2019, Activate has quickly grown into a social media phenomenon due to its innovative approach to personal gaming. Utilizing RFID technology and immersive environments, Activate tracks each player’s performance over time, allowing guests to level up, unlock achievements, earn Next Level Rewards, and enjoy endless gaming fun.

As of now, Activate operates more than 65 locations worldwide and is set to launch 30 additional sites by 2026. This includes seven new sites in partnership with Realinvest across the Nordic region, with openings planned in major cities such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Göteborg, and Burgan.
