More info

The date

Activate is what happens when a video game escapes into the physical world: you move between high-tech challenge rooms built on laser-grid floors, light-up reaction walls, and ball-tossing puzzles, racing the clock and each other. You will both be terrible at the laser room, which is a relief, since being hopeless at something together is the fastest route to connection going. Book a slot online and wear sneakers.

How to do it

Book a slot online, wear sneakers and clothes you can move in, and accept that you'll both be hopeless at the laser room. Wander the high-tech challenge rooms racking up scores against the clock and each other until you stop making polite conversation and start yelling 'GO GO GO' at a wall. Budget about 75 sweaty, silly minutes, then peel off down Lougheed for a refuel and a rematch debrief.

What to wear: casual is fine
