Live action video game experience Chaos Karts has launched in a 15,000sq ft arena in Al Quoz, Dubai.

Chaos Karts is the brainchild of Tom Lionetti-Maguire, CEO of Little Lion Entertainment, the firm behind the Crystal Maze Live Experience and Tomb Raider Live Experience.

The attraction combines augmented reality with physical go-karts, allowing guests to race around a range of different immersive themed circuits.

“Moving into the world of real-life video games is where I see the future of entertainment,” said Lionetti-Maguire, speaking exclusively to Attractions Management.

“There’s a reason that the video games industry is the biggest of all the entertainment industries – it’s because it’s so rich, beautiful, immersive and creative. We’re creating a symbiosis with that world - I’m incredibly excited about this.”

Chaos Karts Dubai is the second Chaos Karts to launch – the first opened in Manchester in September 2023. The company is preparing to launch a second live video game concept.
