CHAOS KARTS is a brand-new, never-seen-before live action video game experience. You’ll be racing real karts around tracks in a digitally projected world, with virtual weapons and power ups to use against your family and friends!

Using a combination of cutting-edge electric karts, projection mapping and augmented reality technology, we're going to put you right into the heart of the action!

In all you should expect to be at the venue for 60-75 minutes, including check-in, pre-play activities, briefing, game-time, debrief and scores (you will be on the track for just over 20 minutes). Each session is for up to 8 players and you are encouraged to book back to back sessions and can watch friends and family if you have sessions before or after each other.

You must be at least 11 years old and be 5ft/1.5m tall to play.

If you are under the age of 18 you must be accompanied by an adult. This adult does not have to play but must book a companion ticket via our Pit Crew by emailing guestservices@chaoskarts.com

Bring along your phones and cameras to make some memories of your time at Chaos Karts.
