To start playing, scan the QR code on your wristband in any of our kiosks located in front of each game to join the lines. You are only allowed to scan into one game at a time. Please do not touch the equipment yourselves, our staff will teach you how to play and help you in and out of each experience. Should you need help during play, please raise your hand.
