Occupying a repurposed big-box space in the Westbluff Shopping Center near Coors Boulevard, Electric Playhouse Albuquerque was built as a prototype high-tech amusement and event complex. The 24,000-square-foot facility gamifies the built environment using floor-to-ceiling motion sensors and projection-mapping technology without requiring VR headsets or handheld controllers. The facility houses interactive gaming arenas, a full commercial kitchen, bar lounges, an LED entry tunnel, and private event rooms featuring interactive tables for chef-driven immersive dining, corporate buyouts, and 21+ late-night DJ events.
No Equipment Needed: The facility uses touch-free, motion-activated tracking technology—no VR goggles, controllers, or special footwear required.
Day-to-Night Programming: Typically structured as all-ages family gaming, STEAM school groups, and birthday parties by day, transitioning to 21+ nightlife, music shows, and interactive dining by night.
Waiver Requirement: All active participants must complete a digital safety waiver prior to entering interactive arenas.
Ample complimentary surface lot parking directly in front of the venue within the Westbluff Shopping Center.
