Description

Immersive Gamebox is a location-based interactive entertainment platform developed by Immersive Gamebox Ltd. Each installation centres on self-contained smart rooms called Gameboxes, in which groups of two to six players engage with a library of original and licensed games using motion tracking, touch-sensitive walls, and projection mapping. No headsets and no hand controllers are required; players wear a lightweight visor designed to be worn like a hat throughout the session.

The proprietary technology stack combines patented Lidar software for physical and interactive gameplay, a unique touch-screen display system with patent-pending player tracking, and AI-powered real-time dynamic gameplay that adjusts challenge levels based on player performance during a session.

Each Gamebox unit measures 3.6 m x 3.6 m x 3.6 m. A standalone franchise site typically houses 6 to 10 Gameboxes across a total site footprint of 40 to 70 square metres (approximately 450 to 750 square feet). A single-unit self-service concession model, launched in July 2026, requires as little as 150 square feet of existing venue space and can be installed and operational within days with no dedicated staffing requirement. This concession format is designed for leisure operators including family entertainment centres, cinemas, shopping centres, arcades, airports, bowling centres, and cruise terminals.

Sessions run in 30-minute and 60-minute formats, with some games offering 120-minute options. Groups book a Gamebox in advance or walk up on the day. The customer journey is designed to operate with minimal staffing through in-Gamebox automated guides and calls to action.

The game library as listed on the Immersive Gamebox website includes both original titles from the in-house IGB studio and licensed IP titles:
