Lava Run
The ‘Lava Run’ is one of the most recent interactive experiences in the city of Porto. Inspired by the game “o chão é lava” (the floor is lava ), it is an activity aimed at people aged between 8 and 80.
With an expected duration of 45 minutes, ‘Lava Run’ consists of a floor made up of colored blocks that light up in different ways, while players face various challenges.
This game can be played by small groups, but there is also the possibility of team events. And don’t forget to bring comfortable clothes and shoes to make the most of it.

The Park VR
Open since June, The Park VR is one of the latest attractions for virtual reality fans. Located in Matosinhos, it occupies an area of 400 m2, offering an experience that mixes the real and virtual worlds.
With the right equipment, virtual reality glasses and controls, you can complete missions and dive into adventures. In addition, this space can be used for birthday parties, bachelor parties and, of course, team building events.

Another World
Located in the parish of Paranhos, close to the metro station, Another World was recently born. It’s a virtual reality playground, ready to host groups of friends, dates, birthday parties and, of course, team building events.
The space has an arena more than ten meters long and more than six meters wide. It also has a meeting room. Here you’ll find various games and even an area to take the children: the Ghost Mansion.
To enjoy the experience to the full, we recommend that you book in advance. After that, all you have to do is get together with your work colleagues and have a great time, a time to remember later.
