Race electric karts while battling opponents through immersive augmented reality gaming experiences with multiple interactive game modes.

BattleKart Gateshead offers a unique fusion of electric go-karting and video game-style racing, creating an immersive augmented reality experience unlike traditional karting venues. Players operate powerful electric karts while interacting with virtual scenery and bonuses projected onto the track, combining driving skills with gaming reflexes and strategic thinking. The venue features six distinct game modes including BattleRace (competitive racing with weapons), BattleVirus (cooperative survival against a virtual threat), BattleFoot (virtual football), BattlePool (team-based pool competition), BattleSnake (arena-style collection game), and BattleColor (rhythm-based tile-capturing gameplay). Sessions accommodate 2-12 players, making it ideal for families, birthday parties, corporate team building, and social gatherings. Suitable for players 1.45m (4'9") tall and above with no minimum age requirement, BattleKart Gateshead welcomes children, teenagers, and adults. The venue features a bar/café for refreshments and operates extended hours during school holidays. Loyalty cards reward regular players with free sessions, and special event packages are available for celebrations and corporate events.
