The rise of experiential entertainment and the desire for social interaction are driving the popularity of location-based entertainment (LBE) venues in North America. These venues offer a wide range of immersive experiences, including VR arcades, escape rooms, interactive theaters, and themed attractions. The growing demand for LBE venues lies in their ability to provide shared experiences that cannot be replicated at home, driving foot traffic and revenue growth in the North American market.

From interactive exhibits and scavenger hunts to multiplayer games and live-action role-playing experiences, gamified LBE attractions provide visitors with a sense of agency and immersion, driving repeat visits and word-of-mouth promotion and contributing to regional market expansion.
