Everyone Active has opened its first TAGactive Arena at Lammas Leisure Centre.
Part of an overall £20m investment in facilities in Ashfield, it sits alongside a new soft play area in the former sports hall.
TAGactive is a game for all ages and takes place in an obstacle course arena split into zones, each of which contain a large number of illuminated TAGs.
Players collect points by ‘tagging’ these with a sensor on their wristband, the points value of each TAG being determined by the degree of difficulty in reaching it.
A player’s score appears on an electronic scoreboard and adds the extra dimension of competition with rivals, as well as trying to post the best score of the day or even all time.
“TAGactive bridges the worlds of activity, gaming and technology and we are confident it will encourage new sections of the community to engage in exercise. This is something which people of all ages and abilities can enjoy and is sure to result in healthy competition between friends, family, colleagues or classmates. We’re excited to see this partnership develop and plan to launch at more sites in 2022,” said Ben Beevers, Everyone Active’s group development director.
