Wondering what a Strike Arena is? You’re not alone. The popularity of this leisure phenomenon has grown rapidly in recent years, and for good reason: people love it.
But what IS it?
At its heart, it’s a leisure activity, which fits perfectly in a indoor play centre, entertainment centre or trampoline park.
Participants run up, down and all around to try and touch coloured pods – the more pods of the right colour you can touch, the better.
Standing in the way of you getting all the pods are obstacles – lots of them – so it’s not as straightforward as just running around, touching a few pods and putting your feet up.
Strike Arena is a team game too, so there’s a real competitive element to it, and there’s a time frame as well, which adds an extra edge to the game.
And because speed is a key part of the game, it helps your customers get active, ticking the health and fitness box.
Who is a Strike Arena for?
For everyone, pretty much.
Clearly it fits perfectly into a soft play-style context, but it’s just at home as an additional revenue stream in an entertainment centre too.
As a result, there are a wide range of target customers, from children enjoying a birthday party, through to corporates having an away day or a team building exercise.
How much space does it take up?
As much or as little as you want – there are 18 different obstacles/challenges to choose from rope climbs to ball pools, and you can pick the ones right for you and your target customer.
These challenges can then be arranged within any sort of frame you want – if space is at a premium, you can build up rather than across.
