NERF Action Xperience, an immersive indoor arena in Manchester designed for interactive NERF battles, required a lighting system that could define game zones and support dynamic colour changes in response to gameplay.
Technically Creative, specialists in immersive lighting, AV, and interactive game design, were commissioned to develop and install the venue’s lighting, sound, and interactive elements.
Their objective was to create a fully responsive lighting system that integrated seamlessly across the space, adapting to different zones and interactive triggers.
Working closely with Technically Creative, Ultra LEDs supplied professional-grade RGB strip lighting and Neon Flex solutions, ensuring optimal performance, seamless integration, and long-term reliability throughout the venue.
Technically Creative was responsible for designing and installing the venue’s lighting, sound, and interactive gameplay features, including 13 custom-built games that ranged from physical challenges to digital-based experiences.
The lighting system was designed to enhance the experience of each NERF game, providing clear visual cues, dynamic effects, and seamless transitions between different zones.
To achieve this, Technically Creative prioritised programmable, responsive lighting that could integrate with the venue’s interactive elements and game mechanics.
Moving beyond static lighting setups, they developed a system that allowed real-time colour changes and triggered effects, ensuring each game zone remained visually distinct and engaging.
"For this project, we required a large quantity of addressable LED strip for a thematic ceiling structure in the retail area. Matthew from Ultra LEDs recommended a solution that integrated perfectly into our design."
