Activate Expands Its Presence to Malaysia
In an exciting development for gaming enthusiasts, Activate, North America’s leading interactive gaming experience, has just launched its first location in Kuala Lumpur, in collaboration with Kara Holdings, a prominent entertainment venue group in Southeast Asia. This landmark opening took place at the Pavilion Bukit Jalil, a well-known shopping and entertainment complex in the city.
The newly opened venue spans 1,300 square meters and features an impressive array of 12 game rooms filled with over 800 challenging levels. These games are designed to engage players' physical and mental capabilities, incorporating elements of teamwork and strategy, making it perfect for groups ranging from friends to families.
The Concept of Active Gaming
Robin Lim, CEO of Kara Holdings, expressed his excitement about welcoming Activate to Malaysia, highlighting the unique interactive format it offers. "Players in Kuala Lumpur will engage in a thrilling mix of running, quick thinking, and teamwork, turning each gaming session into a lively workout and a celebration."
Originally founded in Canada in 2019, Activate has gained popularity by transforming traditional gaming into an active experience. Utilizing RFID tracking technology, players’ progress is monitored, allowing them to level up, unlock achievements, and compete with friends globally through a competitive scoring system. Adam Schmidt, Co-Founder and CEO of Activate, stated, "Activate introduces a fresh energy to the market; once players step in, they are swept away by the exhilarating pace, challenge, and thrill of the games—something new for Malaysia."
Global Expansion Plans
As of now, Activate operates more than 70 locations worldwide, with plans to open an additional 30 venues in 2026. The company aims to extend its reach throughout Southeast Asia alongside Kara Holdings, with future locations anticipated in cities like Singapore.
