Activate Launches Its First Dynamic Gaming Experience in Finland

Activate Opens Its First Finnish Location

In a significant move to expand its global presence, Activate has recently inaugurated its first Finnish site in the bustling Itis shopping center in Helsinki. This ambitious undertaking has been made possible through a strategic partnership with Realinvest, a prominent Scandinavian firm known for its expertise in real estate investment across the Nordic region. With this new location, Activate aims to elevate the entertainment scene in Finland and connect local audiences to its innovative gaming experiences.

The new Activate space spans an impressive 929 square meters and features ten immersive gaming rooms designed to host teams of two to five players. Offering over 700 levels across popular games like Mega Grid, Mega Laser, Strike, and Hide, this venue promises a unique blend of physical activity, strategy, and teamwork. Each session lasts 60 minutes, allowing players to engage in a truly interactive entertainment experience that sets itself apart from anything currently available in Finland.

Adam Schmidt, co-founder and CEO of Activate, expressed his enthusiasm for this launch, stating, "Our mission has always been to build a truly global gaming network that connects people. The opening of our first site in Finland is a major milestone in realizing this vision. With our partnership with Realinvest, we're bringing immersive and social entertainment to a market that values innovation. We're thrilled to welcome Finland to the Activate global community."

Adding to the excitement, Susanna Kolu, the general manager for the Helsinki location, remarked, "It’s exhilarating to introduce a dynamic gaming experience in Helsinki, where players can literally step out of their screens and into the gaming arena. The international success of Activate combined with the rich gaming culture in Finland will thrive perfectly in Helsinki."

Founded in Canada in 2019, Activate has quickly garnered attention and acclaim for its innovative approach to interactive gaming. The brand leverages cutting-edge RFID technology and immersive environments to track players’ performances over time, enabling them to level up, achieve milestones, earn rewards, and enjoy endless replayability.

Currently operating over 65 venues worldwide, Activate plans to open an additional 30 locations in 2026 alone. This expansion includes seven new venues in partnership with Realinvest in the Nordic region, targeting cities such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Gothenburg, and Bergen.

For those interested in experiencing this thrilling new form of entertainment, bookings can be made through their website at playactivate.fi or by following their social media handles @activategames on Instagram and TikTok.
