ith more than 30 years of experience Alterface will showcase Action League at IAAPA Expo Europe on stand #222
on September 13-15.
Stéphane Battaille, Alterface CEO, said: “Alterface’s new Action League, The Interactive Revolution offers up to 1,000 players per hour a fast-moving, immersive team competition within an exciting arena environment.”
“For our clients, we wanted to optimize every square meter and create an easy-to-use, easy-to-upgrade product. With the collaboration of P+A Projects, we refined the initial concept and brought it to fulfilment.” Action LeagueTM boasts a compact footprint, adaptable cycling, and a unique preshow queue system. It also earned first place in the 2021 IAAPA Brass Ring’s Best New Product Concept Award: Major Attraction.
In the Action League arena, players are seated on a rotating platform and spin into competitive team vs. team endeavours. An elevated queue design saves space and offers waiting players a preview of the action, adding to the excitement. The attraction is scalable from 36 to 72 players at a time and can easily be integrated within any infrastructure. Powered by Alterface’s signature Salto show control, which manages the effects and actions, including shooting, lighting, audio, animatronics, photo & video content and physical effects, Action League is fully customisable and can easily be adapted to local tastes and park cultures. Three turnkey theming and media packages have been developed. Bespoke content packages (media, theming, background story) can be tailor-made to client specifications and theming requirements, ranging from purely game-oriented content to more immersive and storytelling-based gameplay.

Hero Zone VR launched turn-key VR platform at
IAAPA Expo Europe At IAAPA Expo Europe, Hero Zone VR will be the launching point for its turn-key VR platform, the ‘Hero Zone Arena’.
Hero Zone VR consists of a variety of cooperative VR free-roam experiences that can be played with up to six players, as well as VR laser tag games for the more competitive- minded players. The award-winning experiences have seen rapid growth in adoption with over 150 active locations.
“The Hero Zone Arena is the natural next step for our company”, said Sebastian Malavasi, CEO of Hero Zone VR. “It builds on the success of our free-roam VR adventures, which have been available in a software-only version for some time. The Hero Zone Arena is a new and improved version of our original product and comes with everything you need to get started right away. Providing an immersive and exciting experience that is perfect for FECs, trampoline parks, theme parks, and other venues looking to bring the latest in VR technology to their visitors”. Hero Zone requires a minimum play area of only 4.5m x 4.5m (up to 6m x 9m), making it the most space-effective free-roam platform available. It uses the newest wireless VR technology which drastically lowers the initial hardware investment, and at the same time, creates a greater sense of freedom for the players. Hero Zone VR also announced that its most popular experience has recently won 4 NYX game awards including grand winner of “Best Social”, “Best Arcade”, “Best Multiplayer” and “Best Experience” in the Mobile Game Category
characters made by Bon Art Studio, the Alterface media partners who brought the plants from Bazyilszek (Basilisk in English) and the poppies from Popcorn Revenge to life. The island is soon invaded by a group of crazily armed funky pirates seeking the island’s treasures hidden in a cave. Players must prepare an ambush to defend the stash and drive the pirates off the island. The Greenhouse offers a player-versus-player interactive experience that also relies on a group effort to progress the furthest in the game. Located in a steampunk world where plants have been subjected to monstrous experiments and have mutated into enemies of mankind, players are dared to clean up the mess. Participants must descend level after level of the infested greenhouse to find and destroy the root of the problem and restore balance to the giant greenhouse.
