Beat The Bomb is the future of social entertainment. Using video game technology to engineer human connection, our games teach important life skills and activate the transformational power of teamwork. Backed by CVC2 (Conversion Venture Capital) and Otium Capital, working with ARCO/Murray and Marketing Advance, and partnered with Jamestown LP and Douglas Development Corporation.
Beat The Bomb's core product is a 1-hour ticketed experience where players step into the video game, and progress through 5 hi-tech game rooms equipped with projection mapping, touch screens, RFID readers, lasers, and motion sensors. Wearing hazmat suits, they enter the "Bomb Room" where they play a final video game to disarm the world's largest paint bomb (Mission 01) or Foam Bomb (Mission 02). Failure and they #GetBlasted with either a Paint Bomb or Foam Bomb! Battle Mode (Team vs. Team) and Pro League (by way of qualification) were launched in 2021. As of 2022, customers can also choose to rent our 3-walled Game Bay where they can eat, drink, and socialize while choosing from a touchscreen menu of 15 shorter games across a variety of gaming modes, including team vs team and free-for-all.
During the pandemic, Beat The Bomb also created a 45-min multiplayer social Virtual Game experience. Clients include Amazon, PayPal, NYU, OpenDoor, Microsoft, Citi, PwC and many many more. Perfect for virtual conferences, remote team building, and online education, the game is playable with voice/video on Zoom. Players login to our platform and take on challenges that require communication and coordination.
Our technology includes our location-based patented multi-room game-delivery system, our innovative laser maze and RFID hardware, our online P2P game platform, and our copyrighted game titles (12 and counting, with names like Sequencer, Echo Chamber, Mad Dash, Crypto Laser, Block Monster, and Cyberbot).
Prior to founding Beat The Bomb, I worked at Tough Mudder 2010-2015 (3rd employee, In-house counsel, CMO + VP of Brand) and Davis Polk 2007-2009 (Tax Attorney).
