About this game

Games that move you.

Active Arcade is a fresh take on how to get active while having fun, just by playing a few simple games. It puts you inside the game and uses your natural body movement as the game controller. Interactive elements will make you feel like you're immersed in an entirely new type of arcade game.

__

While we all want to be healthy, fitness today is expensive, rigorous, time-consuming, and intimidating. In short, “fitness” today is just too hard for many.

Active Arcade is an entirely different approach. It’s a simple, natural way to get active just by playing fun games that use your body movement. Like the casual sports games that we play on the playground as kids, there is no better way to have fun and get your body moving than by playing and competing in physical games. Active Arcade is built for anyone to get moving with only their mobile device—no expensive equipment, no hardcore routines, no wearables.

Even if just for a few minutes a day, moving through Active Arcade is both fun and good for you. Simply use your body to play fun physical games and activities, and get immersed in the gameplay. You won't even know you’re working up a sweat!

Don't exercise. Just play.

A NEW TYPE OF GAMEPLAY

Your body is now a video game controller! Active Arcade uses advanced full-body motion tracking powered by AI, combined with gamification and augmented reality (AR) to make the experience fun for everyone. The camera will digitize your movement and power the gameplay in real-time.

SIMPLE SETUP, PLAY ANYWHERE

Active Arcade requires no special setup, wearables, or extra equipment. Just lean your iPhone or iPad against a stationary object like a chair, water bottle, or wall, and ensure the front-facing camera can see your full body. For an even more immersive living room experience, connect your device to a TV and mirror your screen through HDMI connection or Chromecast/AndroidTV.

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Active Arcade is simple and accessible so that people of all ages and every ability level can engage. The games are easy to play and don't require advanced athletic skills. There are more casual games like Reaction that focus on hand-eye coordination, and more full-body games like Box Attack that use your athleticism. A wide variety of games are available for every player, with new games added regularly.

FUN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Like real sports activities, Active Arcade games are about playing and moving with friends and family members. But unlike many connected fitness solutions, Active Arcade makes engaging with friends and family a quick and simple activity that can happen anytime, anyplace. 2-Player game modes get you and your friends playing side-by-side.

CAPTURE AND SHARE YOUR BEST MOVES

Like a built-in photo booth, you’ll get instant highlights from your time in Active Arcade that shows off your best moves and are fun to post on social media—complete with all the interactive elements included. Post your highlights on social media and challenge your friends to get active too!

ENTIRELY FREE TO PLAY

Active Arcade is free to play and contains no advertising, in-app purchases, or subscription model. It's an entirely free resource for the community and for everyone anywhere to play and engage. Share it with all your friends, family members, or anyone.

A really good game! UI and UX feels really smooth, and the song selection is really good too. But I'm humbly begging you to add a Calibration option to the game as it's simply annoying to play most of the games without it. Also I think it'd be nice if the user is told where the menu screen is from the start, perhaps with a tutorial of some sort. I'd like to discuss this in details, but it seems that the character limit just doesn't allow it.

Mostly excellent. The games that ask you to put the device on the floor work very well and apart from being immense fun, are also a good workout. The games that require you to put device on a table or chair and jump, don't work so well, with 4 of us ranging in age from 8 to 48 just couldn't get it to detect our actions very well. Overall, this is excellent, and I look forward to seeing further improvement over time.

The motion tracking is surprisingly good, the beat saber mini game worked for the most part, which I completely did not expect. Somehow, this game kind of brings me back to the days of the wii, playing this on TV is just such a pain though, wireless has a delay which makes the rhythm games unplayable, but works fine for ones like the laser dodge game. However, I notice a heating problem with this game, so if possible, please try to optimise it further so it doesn't strain my device too much.
