Electric Playhouse is transforming the social gaming landscape in Las Vegas with its massive 10,000-square-foot space situated within The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. The cutting-edge venue masterfully melds the physical and digital worlds, presenting an array of motion-activated games and attractions for visitors of all ages. As guests step inside, they are greeted by an electrifying atmosphere that promotes active engagement, where walls and floors pulsate in response to their movements. With sophisticated body-mapping technology, players dive into an unprecedented gaming experience emphasizing interaction and connection, setting it apart from traditional gaming distractions.
“The inspiration behind Electric Playhouse came from a desire to create a space where people of all ages can connect, play and explore in a way that feels both physical and digital,” Brandon Garrett, CEO and co-founder of Electric Playhouse, told us. “We noticed that much of modern entertainment, especially gaming, often isolates individuals in front of screens. We wanted to break away from that model and build something that fosters human connection through shared, active experiences. Electric Playhouse merges the digital and physical worlds in a way that doesn’t require headsets or gadgets—just the natural movement of the human body. What sets us apart from other gaming venues in Las Vegas is this unique blend of motion-activated technology and social interaction, providing a completely immersive experience where your body becomes the controller.”
Electric Playhouse utilizes the latest strides in gaming technology to make a family-friendly space that’s fully interactive. “The technology at Electric Playhouse is designed to make the entire environment responsive to human movement,” Garrett explained. “We use proprietary body-mapping technology and motion sensors that track each guest’s actions in real-time. This data is then used to create a digital twin of the player, enabling the walls, floors and even tables to react to their movements. The 360-degree projection mapping enhances this experience by immersing players in vibrant, interactive visuals that respond dynamically as they move. This approach not only increases engagement but also encourages active participation and movement, making the experience both physically stimulating and deeply engaging.”
Popular games like Guacamole and Light Hockey not only entertain but also promote health and physical activity, making them perfect for groups looking for a fun and energetic outing. “Guacamole is a fast-paced, physical game where players dash and dive to claim colored tiles before their opponents, blending quick thinking with agility,” Garrett said of the games. “It’s perfect for groups and brings out a competitive spirit while also promoting healthy movement. Light Hockey, on the other hand, takes the classic air hockey game to another level by introducing a giant, virtual air hockey table with multiple pucks appearing at once. The intensity and strategy required in Light Hockey make it a fan favorite. What makes these games unique is how they turn physical activity into a fun, social experience, with each game offering a new challenge and keeping guests on their toes.”
From engaging solo players to accommodating large groups, Electric Playhouse presents a diverse array of physically stimulating challenges and mental puzzles. “Active play and physical movement are at the core of what Electric Playhouse is all about,” Garrett told us. “We believe that movement should be a central part of entertainment, not just an afterthought. By encouraging guests to get up and move, we’re not only providing them with a fun experience but also promoting health and wellness. Our goal is to create a space where people can have a great time while being active, whether they’re running, jumping or strategizing their next move. This emphasis on physical engagement sets Electric Playhouse apart from more passive forms of entertainment and aligns with our mission to foster human connection through shared energetic experiences.”
The venue also plans to enhance its appeal by introducing themed dining experiences and a full-service bar later this year, ensuring that every visit offers something fresh and exciting. “Our multisensory dining experiences, such as the upcoming “Teatime in Wonderland,” are designed to merge immersive storytelling with culinary excellence,” Garrett said of the venue’s culinary program. “These experiences take place in environments where the walls and tables come to life with motion-activated projection, light and sound. As guests move through the space, the surroundings react dynamically, creating a feast for the senses. The dishes themselves are crafted by renowned guest chefs, such as chef Keris Kuwana, and are paired with the themed environment to create a truly unique dining adventure. These experiences align with the Electric Playhouse concept by extending the idea of interactive, motion-activated fun into the culinary realm, offering guests not just a meal but an unforgettable journey.”
The vibrant combination of innovative gameplay, social engagement, and culinary delights positions Electric Playhouse as a must-visit attraction for both locals and tourists seeking a memorable experience in the heart of Las Vegas. “We’re excited about the future of Electric Playhouse and have several plans in the pipeline, especially concerning our culinary program,” Garrett told us. “As we launch more themed dining experiences, we aim to collaborate with other celebrity chefs and culinary innovators to bring even more unique, immersive dining events to life. Additionally, we’re exploring new game concepts and expanding our current offerings to keep the experience fresh and engaging for repeat visitors. Later this year, we also plan on unveiling our bar, providing guests 21 or older with the opportunity to sip and savor a selection of specialty cocktails.”
