If you ever thought what it would be like to be PAC-MAN or fight off alien invaders, then this new areana will be exactly for you
Have you ever wanted to run around and chase power-ups and avoid ghosts while the iconic waka-waka sound plays in the background? If the answer is yes, then South Bank in September will be where you want to head.
That is because, on Saturday, September 5, Arcade Arena will open an immersive entertainment venue on London’s South Bank. The team behind The Crystal Maze Experience, which has been a fixture in London for the last 10 years, are set to bring PAC-MAN to life. The PAC-MAN live experience will give players a chance to navigate an illuminated maze, collect power, avoid ghosts, and race against the clock in a high-intensity, team-based adventure.
As well as PAC-MAN, Arcade Arena will also offer Chaos Karts and Alien Invasion. Chaos Karts will combine real electric karts with an immersive digital projection. Drivers will be transported into virtual worlds without the need for headsets or screens. This will be the second Arcade Arena, following on from its success in Manchester.
Alien Invasion has been highly anticipated by players, and it will now be introduced to those willing to try their hand at ‘saving the universe’ from threats.
Tickets are now on sale with a range of options. The cheapest ticket is a standard one starting at £30. On opening day, the tickets cost £37. Multi-play tickets start from £45, and three-game play tickets start from £50.
Tom Lionetti-Maguire, CEO and Founder of Little Lion Entertainment, said: “We’ve spent more than a decade creating immersive experiences that put people at the heart of the action, and Arcade Arena is the biggest step forward we’ve ever taken.
“We wanted to create a place where people can physically step inside incredible worlds to become the player, and bringing the PAC-MAN Live Experience, Chaos Karts and Alien Invasion together under one roof creates something completely unique for London. Arcade Arena delivers the kind of large-scale, high-energy entertainment that simply hasn’t existed before.
“We’re incredibly excited to welcome our very first guests through the doors on 5th September and can’t wait to see people experience it for themselves.”
Tickets can be purchased on the Arcade Arena website.
