Live-action gaming experiences blending physical venues with interactive technology
Activate Games operates physical entertainment venues built around live-action gaming. The company is mid-market (201–500 employees) and laser-focused on operational scaling: 80 of 123 active roles sit in ops, with active projects spanning payroll infrastructure, facility retrofits, and national expansion. The tech stack is enterprise-practical (ADP, HubSpot, Power BI, Freshdesk) rather than cutting-edge, reflecting a business optimizing venue operations and customer experience at scale rather than building IP.
Notable leadership hires: Team Lead
Activate Games creates live-action gaming experiences at physical locations, fusing interactive technology with physical play. The company operates in Canada and the United States, with headquarters in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Founded in 2019, it has grown to 201–500 employees and is actively expanding both domestically and internationally. Operations dominate the org chart, supported by payroll and HR infrastructure buildout. Current pain points cluster around scaling manufacturing, reducing time-to-fill for rapid hiring, and resolving customer experience gaps like booking friction and wait times.
Primary tools include ADP (payroll), HubSpot (CRM), Power BI and Tableau (analytics), Braze and Meta (marketing), and Freshdesk (support). Microsoft Office and Google Workspace handle productivity.
Activate Games is actively recruiting in Canada and the United States, with expansion projects underway in both markets.
