Activate Games — Local services in Chicago

Had a really great time here on an early Friday afternoon. The staff was incredibly helpful and I appreciate the locker system. The activity area is very spacious with clean bathrooms and plenty of room to sit down and take a breather, with a lot of infotainment scattered around. The game/activity system is easy to navigate, though some of the specific game modes are a little confusing and I wasn't a big fan of 1-2 games (that eye room, I'm looking at you) but overall, they're all really creative and fun, and will be a lot easier to navigate with subsequent visits.

This company is doing it right. It was so refreshing to not be charged above and beyond. We will absolutely be coming back again and again at a location closer to our home. Thank you Activate, you have given us a wonderful memory and thank you so much to our awesome hosts Jay and Alexis. They were...

Came for a birthday and had a blast! Game rooms only go up to 5 players, so my group of 6 kept splitting off and rotating players, which was fine. The crew was great and attentive. The way it's setup made it easy and quick to try the rooms without any backups/lines. Only thing my friends and I wish was different is that it let you do 2 rounds before ending your game for the next group. One round doesn't really offer you the opportunity to get the feel of it. Other than that, we're already looking forward to...
