👍👍 Stumbled upon this place on accident and glad I did! The owner was there and he explained everything thoroughly, didn’t get annoyed at my abundance of questions, and was super accommodating and kind the next day when I brought in my kiddos to play for an hour. It’s my first time at any esports cente... People often mention party, games, staff, birthday, game,

    We just had my daughter's 16th birthday party here and the kids loved it. Me being a big kid myself enjoyed it as well. The vibe is cool, the games are awesome and presented in serious gamer loving fashion. The owner was present and very helpful. He taught many of us to use the VR headset. There is nothing bad I can say about the place. I will be going again.

    Stumbled upon this place on accident and glad I did! The owner was there and he explained everything thoroughly, didn’t get annoyed at my abundance of questions, and was super accommodating and kind the next day when I brought in my kiddos to play for an hour. It’s my first time at any esports center, and I was blown away at everything. The design of the place, the cleanliness, the curved screens and powerful computers, the headsets and keyboards…all was top quality! Definitely recommend coming here even if you’re a first timer (and an old timer) like me.

    I had a 70s theme birthday party here on January 7th 2017. The staff was friendly and very helpful with set-up and assisting with the equipment. The Virtual Reality gaming was the talk of the party. Weeks later guests are still talking about how much they loved the place and enjoyed the party A+

    Everytime I've stepped into activ8 it's like I can take a load off and just be myself... I'm not judged for being super nerdy or laughed at for being to absorb in what I'm playing. With all the different options of games and variety of consoles to chose from; You can't go wrong. I highly encourage everyone to make a stop in there. It'll totally have you begging for more! Not to mention the staff are super sweet and hilarious, including Blake.

    Very clean, very cool idea for a kid's birthday party. As an adult it was cool to see the looks on the faces of the 12 year olds as they entered the gaming area for the first time. The hosts were very helpful. Whether it was getting my 4 year old out of a hole in minecraft or providing extra controllers so a group of kids could play each other in NHL19, the hosts were right there to help. If you are looking for a no brainer birthday party for video game loving kids, this is your place.

  • 2/5 deez n. 8 years ago on Google
    I got invited to a party here, it was alright. But the staff werent too helpful at times, they didnt quite understand how the arcade machines worked. Some of them were emulating another arcade machine which required access to the keyboard, but one told me not to mess with the console and put on a different game. I told him it was a different game, and he said it was "close enough".

    Called to talk strictly business with one of the managers. Was treated very well even as a non customer. Tom was very friendly and professional. These are the people you want to do business with.

    Awesome place for anyone looking to get into the Michigan fighting game community. They hold casual and tournament events every Monday. The people here are incredibly nice, and are so willing to help out newcomers. It's also just a nice place to hang out. Great experience overall.

    Would rate this 0 stars if possible. Does this place even exist? We looked online and called and got 3 different addresses. None of which were valid. There were no signs out. No indication that the place was where it said. Almost convinced all reviews are fake from the people that work there. Bad vibes all around.
