Running out of ideas for a boy’s 12th birthday party? Come here! The gang all had a great time shooting zombies, skeletons, and of course… each other! Myra was spot on… keeping the fun going and controlling 11/12 yr old boys is no easy task, but she smashed it. Big thanks 🙏

Myra was AMAZING as a host of our Active Reality party! She was fantastic in every way and really helped make the experience a wonderful one for our son celebrating his 13th birthday. The boys have come away very happy! Thank you Myra for the wonderful session - you're really wonderful 😊

We had our son's birthday group play here, and all the kids were so happy and enjoyed a lot! The facilitator was so cool, nice, and kid friendly! Thank you so much! I gave 4 stars because they had a broken headset out of six which was not ideal for 11 kids, but they gave us one extra game at the end (trying to make it up).

We had a fantastic experience. The person supervising us was brilliant, very clear, very confident and made sure we were aware of the rules before we started. We took our son and a couple of his friends and the boys all came out really happy, and wanting to go again.
