The Experience

Picture this: a group of kids—or adults, or both—step into a 1,000 square foot arena together. They're handed headsets and gear. And suddenly the room transforms. The walls disappear. The person next to you isn't your friend anymore—they're a warrior in armor, or a wizard in robes.

Three adventures. One arena. Infinite memories.

BATTLEGROUNDS

Become the hero. Fight the horde.

Choose your class—Warrior or Wizard—and embark on a 15-minute quest through fantasy realms. Battle goblins. Storm a necromancer's tower. Defend a castle from an orc invasion. The boss is 10 feet tall. You'll need everyone.

DODGEIT

The great equalizer.

AR-enhanced dodgeball where power comes from timing, not strength. A 7-year-old can take down their dad. A Tron-like neon battlefield. Two teams. No mercy. Perfect for birthday parties and anyone who wants to level the playing field.

METEOR SHOWER

Save the galaxy. Together.

You're space rangers defending against an incoming meteor storm. Deflect. Dodge. Work as a team to stabilize a collapsing star system. Cooperation wins. Competition gets you vaporized. Best for groups who'd rather save the world together.

Designed for ages 7 and up. Perfect for birthdays, family outings, and rainy Saturdays.

How It Works

We call it Shared Reality

Not VR where you're alone in a headset. Not laser tag with a screen strapped to your face. This is something different—a large arena where you and your friends physically move through space together, seeing each other as characters in another world.

STEP 1

The Arena

It starts as an empty room—1,000 square feet of open space with tracking markers on the walls. Nothing special to look at. Just a big, dark room with some geometric patterns. But that emptiness is the point. It's a blank canvas waiting for a world to appear.

STEP 2

Gear Up

You and your group step into the arena and put on your headsets and controllers. The gear is lightweight and wireless—no cords, no backpacks, no tethers. You can walk, run, crouch, and swing your arms freely. The room tracks your every movement.

STEP 3

The World Appears

The moment you look through the headset, the empty room is gone. You're standing in a torch-lit dungeon, or a neon-soaked arena, or a space station under attack. The walls are stone. The ceiling is infinite. And when you walk forward in real life, you walk forward in the game. No joysticks. No teleporting. Just... walking.

STEP 4

See Each Other

Here's what makes Shared Reality different: you're not alone. Look to your left and there's your friend—but they're not wearing jeans and a hoodie anymore. They're a dwarf with an axe. Or an elf archer. Or a wizard with a glowing staff. You see each other as characters, moving in real-time, fighting side by side. When they swing their sword, you see it. When they duck, you see it. It's social. It's physical. It's real.

The Founders

Matt & Eve Lobel

Co-Founders

Matt is a tech entrepreneur with 33 years of experience—and over 20 years volunteering as a high school offensive line coach, because he believes the best adventures happen when people work together. Eve hails from Argentina and brings creativity, marketing expertise, and a baking degree she promises will show up in the snack bar someday.

Together, they share a love of football, two ridiculously spoiled pets (Cooper the pug and Bear the husky mix), a brand-new daughter Josie, and a stubborn belief that Western North Carolina deserves a place where families actually do something together.

Our Story

The Dream

An outdoor adventure park in Rosman. Zorbing down hillsides. Mountain tubing. Aerial courses. Immersive holiday trails where fantasy meets reality. We had the land. We had the plan.

The Setback

At the last moment, our lender backed out. Site designs. Engineering studies. Permit applications. Vendor contracts. Equipment deposits. Marketing campaigns. All of it—gone in a single phone call.

The Response

Hundreds of you reached out. Messages of support. “Don't give up.” “We want this to exist.” We replied to every single one. This community doesn't just want entertainment—they want to build something together.

The Pivot

The mixed reality technology we planned for holiday trails? It became its own experience. An indoor adventure arena we could build now, fund now, and open now. Not instead of the outdoor park—as the engine that gets us there.

The Future

“The dream didn't die. The story just shifted chapters.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our experiences are designed for ages 7 and up. Younger kids can participate with adult supervision, though they may find some experiences challenging. There's no upper age limit—we can't wait to see grandparents fighting goblins alongside their grandkids!

Not at all! Our staff will guide you through everything. The controls are intuitive—if you can walk and swing your arms, you can play. We expect first-timers to become our biggest fans.

Unlike traditional VR, our Shared Reality system has you physically walking through the space—your body moves when your character moves. This dramatically reduces motion sickness. Most people who struggle with regular VR do great with this technology.

Everything is virtual! You'll hold lightweight controllers that become swords, staffs, or bows in the game world. No foam swords or physical props—just you, your movements, and the magic of mixed reality.

Yes! Before each adventure, you'll select your class—Warrior, Wizard, Archer, and more depending on the experience. Want to be a dwarf with an axe? An elf mage? The choice is yours.

Each adventure is approximately 15 minutes of gameplay. With gear-up time and a brief orientation, plan for about 25-30 minutes total per session. You'll be able to book multiple sessions to try different experiences!
