Harlequin Watford’s newest business has shared an inside look as it opens its immersive gaming rooms for the first time today.

Unit 1 on the shopping centre’s lower mall level is now occupied by Activate Watford, which provides technology-based experiences placing players inside the game.

It hosted a family and friends soft opening last night and opens fully to the public today.

Ahead of this, the firm shared a selection of pictures from inside the unit which show how some of the first visitors through the doors enjoyed the games.
