Square Games Opens as France's Largest Hi-Tech Immersive Entertainment Venue

Square Games, touted as the largest high-tech leisure center in southern France, is set to open its doors on December 5, 2025, in Blagnac. Covering over 3,200 square meters, this new entertainment complex aims to establish itself as the premier destination for connected sports and immersive gaming in the Occitanie region.

The venue offers cutting-edge interactive experiences, including EVA, a leading team-based virtual reality game; BattleKart, an innovative fusion of electric go-karting and augmented reality on an interactive track; and the immersive strategic action game Bomb Squad. Beyond these flagship activities, visitors can enjoy augmented reality darts, billiards, foosball, gaming consoles, and classic arcade machines. With facilities catering to individuals as well as corporate clients, Square Games will provide turnkey packages for up to 200 participants to foster team cohesion and memorable experiences.

A dedicated bar equipped with a giant screen will broadcast major sports and e-sports events, adding to the venue's entertainment appeal. Regular tournaments and events are planned throughout the year for main activities like EVA, BattleKart, and Bomb Squad, alongside local leagues, inter-company challenges, and regional e-sport competitions.

Complementing this new venue, Romane Vilbois, a 22-year-old cultural animator from Ergué-Gabéric, exemplifies the emerging creative talent in immersive entertainment within France. Having transitioned from an initially unfulfilling web development path, Vilbois is now focused on developing immersive games, leveraging her recent apprenticeship at Arkae, which promotes local heritage. She shares, "I’ve already got everything in my head," reflecting her determination to innovate in the field.

Together, these developments highlight France’s growing enthusiasm for immersive entertainment experiences, blending innovative technology with creative vision to redefine leisure and cultural activities across the country.
