EXPERIENTIAL VIDEO GAMING COMPANY “BEAT THE BOMB”OPENS 6TH U.S. LOCATION IN HOUSTON JANUARY 2025

HOUSTON – Beat The Bomb, the World’s Craziest Team Game, will open Friday, Jan. 24 in Houston’s historic Fifth Ward in the former Moncrief Lenoir Manufacturing Co. at 2103 Lyons #300, joining Meow Wolf. Tickets are on sale now at beatthebomb.com/locations/houston with prices starting at $34.95.

‍

The Houston venue will join Beat The Bomb locations in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., and follows a $15M Series B investment in 2023 by Otium Capital and Conversion Venture Capital. Launched as a startup in Brooklyn in 2017, Beat The Bomb has since hosted over 750,000 customers, earned over 32,500 five-star Google reviews, and has blasted celebrities such as Usher, Venus Williams, Tony Hawk, and the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

‍

Beat The Bomb’s signature 60-minute Paint Bomb, Slime Bomb, and Foam Bomb Missions see groups of four to six players suit up in hazmat gear and advance through four high-tech immersive video game rooms featuring lasers, projection walls, RFID readers, touch screens, and motion sensors. Each room features a different cooperative game, with titles like “Hack Attack,” “Floor Grid,” “Echo Chamber,” and “Crypto Laser.” Teams work together to earn time on their Bomb Clock.

‍

Entering the fifth and final glass-walled Bomb Room, they must play a final game to disarm The Bomb before their time runs out. Losing means getting blasted with paint, foam, or slime, while winning unlocks rewards through the Bomb Loyalty Program. Repeat players can keep coming back to "Have a Blast,” with new games added regularly to the game library.

‍

“Houston was an obvious choice for Beat The Bomb. It’s the Energy Capital of the World and the fourth-largest city in the U.S.A. It has a vibrant arts scene, boasts twenty-four Fortune 500 companies, and is home to NASA’s Johnson Space Center. Beat The Bomb will fit right in with our high-energy games and paint, foam, and slime blast endings,” said Alex Patterson, CEO and Founder. “Beat The Bomb’s mission is to use technology to engineer human connection, encouraging camaraderie among friends, family, and coworkers. We are thrilled to be coming to Houston and blending the Fifth Ward’s industrial past with our modern technology and cutting-edge special effects.”

‍

The 10,000-square-foot Beat The Bomb Houston “eatertainment” space is being built by ARCO/Murray and features its signature The Bomb Bar—a full-service bar with a food menu—overlooking a 1,500-square-foot beer garden where customers can enjoy colorful slushies, themed cocktails, local craft beers, and delicious bites like chicken wings, fried chicken sandwiches, and pizzas. Surrounding the dining area are four semi-private “Arcade Bays” where guests can eat, drink, and play a 90-minute competitive socializing experience, splitting into small teams and competing in a gauntlet of interactive mini-games.

‍

Beat The Bomb Houston offers a 450-square-foot private events space, perfect for corporate outings, birthday celebrations, and other special occasions, along with customizable catering and bar service packages. The company’s current locations host hundreds of team-building events annually for corporations such as Home Depot, Delta, Google, Amazon, and PwC, universities like New York University and Georgetown, and even professional sports teams. Beat The Bomb also welcomes tens of thousands of students annually from middle schools, high schools, and nonprofit after-school programs. Via a STEM school partner program and ticket donation initiative, Beat The Bomb’s goal is to inspire the next generation of creative technologists and teach kids that any challenge can be overcome using teamwork.
