Games, difficulty and ages
The games in the catalogue cover different kinds of challenge, and the instructor builds the session around the group. A group of young children gets more room for memory games and family-friendly variants; a group of competitive adults gets more territory and reaction games.
Each game has difficulty levels, and some have variants for smaller or less experienced groups: Memoria Grilei for Maestrul Memoriei and Cod Albastru Mini for Vânătoarea de Cod Albastru. The instructor adjusts the level during the game, not only at the start.
That is why mixed-age groups work well: nobody drops out of the experience for not running fast enough. Memory, ordering and deduction games are won with attention, and the real-time score keeps the competition balanced.
Safety in the arena
A mistake in the game has no consequences beyond the round: you lose points, leave a round temporarily or your safe zone shrinks, and the next round starts from zero. Nothing you do can “break” the game for the others.
- Mandatory safety briefing before every session.
- An instructor runs the session from the first game to the last.
- No worn equipment, so no risks related to straps, visors or reduced visibility.
- Short rounds, with breaks between them; nobody plays 40 minutes without a pause.
- Up to 8 players on the surface at once in a standard session.
- Sports shoes are recommended for grip and stability.

Players move physically on the floor, and the system reacts instantly to steps, jumps and hits. You don't need wearable equipment, headsets or controllers. We recommend playing the games in chapter order and, within each chapter, in the suggested sequence, for a complete experience. Games can be chosen freely, and the Leaderboard tracks each player's progress, completed levels and development.

How long is a session?
A session means 40 minutes in the arena plus the briefing before playing. Larger packages mean consecutive sessions: Private Party means 2–6 consecutive hours in the arena, and Team Building uses the whole-hour interval selected when booking.

Come in light, comfortable clothes and clean, comfortable sports shoes. You don't need to take your shoes off and you don't wear any game equipment. Players get access to the on-site water dispenser. Sugar-free soft drinks are available on request, at extra cost.
Do I need video-game experience?
No. The rules are explained in the briefing before playing, and the first game of the session works as a warm-up. No special fitness is needed either.
Which games can be played?
All 17 games are public and grouped into 4 chapters. We recommend playing the games in chapter order and, within each chapter, in the suggested sequence, for a complete experience. Games can be chosen freely, and the Leaderboard tracks each player's progress, completed levels and development.
Who chooses the games in a session?
The instructor running the session, according to the group's age, size and pace. A 40-minute session includes several short experiences, not just one.
Can children play?
Yes, from age 7. Each game's difficulty is set in levels, and some games have variants for smaller groups: Memoria Grilei and Cod Albastru Mini. For families there is the Family offer, at 70 RON per person.
Is it suitable for adults?
Yes. For adult groups there are Standard Access, Private Party, Team Building. Territory, reaction and deduction games work at high intensity for competitive groups.
Is it tiring?
Effort is moderate and controllable. Rounds are short, with breaks between them, and points come from correct decisions, not just running. Memory, ordering and deduction games are won with attention, not speed.
Is it safe?
The safety briefing takes place before every session and is mandatory. An instructor runs the session from the first game to the last. No equipment is worn on the body, so there are no risks related to reduced visibility or straps, and the number of players on the surface at once is limited.
What happens if I make a mistake during the game?
Mistakes are part of the mechanics: in most games they mean losing points, temporary elimination from a round or a smaller safe zone. The next round starts clean, because the experiences are short and repeat often.
How is the score calculated?
Automatically, by the system, and shown in real time, visible to the whole group. At the end of the session the group result is shown. Nobody keeps score by hand.
Can I organise a birthday party?
Private Party: exclusive use of the entire venue for 8–24 attendees and 2–6 hours. No deposit; pay on site by card or cash. Book on the dedicated Party page. See how a children's birthday party runs →Romanian page
Can I organise a team building?
Yes. Team Building: 63 RON / participant / hour. The total is 63 RON × active participants × booked hours. Booking is confirmed after availability validation and the interval is saved.

Up to 8 pupils enter the arena at once, so the class takes part in consecutive rounds; one accompanying adult has free access. The request is sent at least 5 working days in advance and confirmed manually. See the details for Școala Altfel and school groups →
Can a school group activity take place in the morning?
Yes. For Școala Altfel and school groups, the 09:00–14:00 time slot can be requested, subject to availability. The request is confirmed manually; the slot isn't guaranteed automatically and doesn't change the arena's general opening hours.WHATSAPP 0774 205 846
