ValoClimb: Interactive climbing games for all ages

If you're in active indoor entertainment or climbing gym business, expanding the reach of your location is always a good idea. But not an easy one to do. Today we explore the benefits of targeting new potential visitors with interactive climbing games of ValoClimb, the augmented climbing wall.   

How can you choose a suitable attraction for your venue

Selecting the right attraction for climbing gyms and active indoor entertainment venues is crucial for enhancing visitor experience and ensuring operational efficiency. 

We listed some key considerations to help you evaluate potential attractions:

Firstly, assess the variety and difficulty levels of games offered. Attractions with a wide range of games make it easier to target different age groups and encourage repeated visits.

Next, consider the footprint and throughput. It's essential to balance these two metrics to ensure the attraction is both space-efficient and capable of handling sufficient player volume. For inspiration, explore examples of versatile installations, such as various setups of ValoClimb.

Another factor is the capacity for single-player and multiplayer modes. Opt for attractions that allow players to enjoy games together, as this enhances social interaction and increases throughput, maximizing your investment.

Additionally, inquire about the need for extra equipment like goggles, wearables, or sensors. These can add to operational costs due to the need for staff to manage, sanitize, and repair the equipment.

Lastly, consider the staffing requirements. An attraction that is easy to understand and operate without extensive staff involvement is ideal. This not only reduces costs but also ensures that players, especially children, can start playing quickly and safely, while parents can enjoy a hassle-free experience.

“There are the people who come specifically for ValoClimb, they’ll just keep playing, two, three, four times.” - Samantha Urmston, General Manager - Laser Quest Trafford Centre
