BattleKart Köln

BattleKart is above all a concentrate of emotions, sensations and fun accessible to all (from 1.45m)! You drive real electric karts on a track with no physical obstacles, but through virtual worlds We use a large number of projectors fixed to the ceiling of our hall to project different circuits and game modes onto the floor. Your kart is equipped with sensors and on-board electronics so that the karts interact with the elements on the track and with each other. For example, pick up a bonus square on the ground and a rocket will appear on your dashboard. Press the yellow button and the rocket will shoot off in front of your kart. If it hits one of your opponents, they’ll be slowed down for a few seconds and you’ll be able to overtake them!

You’re not sitting in front of a screen, but the kart is really moving and you’re really driving it at full throttle in a hall plunged into semi-darkness. You accelerate, you brake and you handle the steering wheel. And use the bonuses by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel at the right moment.

No, players don’t need VR headset ! The projection of game modes and circuits on the floor of the hall are very bright and well detailed after a period of retinal adaptation.

Absolutely not! We cater for a very broad age range. Young people aged between 10 and 65 have already ridden with us and they all had a great time!

No, we only have single-seater karts, which is why a minimum height of 1.45 m is required to be able to drive a kart safely on your own.

We’ve developed an anti-collision system that takes control of your kart and brake when necessary to avoid accidents. This system avoids the vast majority of collisions in normal use – which doesn’t mean you don’t have to ride with a minimum of caution, but it does mean you don’t have to wear a helmet. Simply fasten the seatbelt and off you go!

Our karts run at a speed suited to each play mode, or even each play phase, and to the surface area of the tracks. The aim is to provide strong acceleration sensations and instant restarts when you are slowed or stopped by an opposing missile, for example. As you’ll see from our game, even though it’s perfectly respectable, speed isn’t the most important factor in enjoying the BattleKart experience!

A game consists of several rounds. Games generally last 15 minutes. Of the 15 minutes, 2 minutes 30 seconds are dedicated to boarding, exiting the pits, returning to the pits and disembarking. You can customize the remaining 12 minutes 30 seconds as you see fit: several rounds of different lengths or game modes. Tip: if two consecutive games contain exactly the same players, you won’t need to return to the pits, and you’ll get a free BattleRace round instead of disembarkation/embarkation.

Despite the care we take to regularly clean our tracks, it is inevitable that the passage of your karts will cause dust to be kicked up. We therefore advise you to come and play at BattleKart in a casual outfit, which could be slightly soiled and would be easy to clean. So don’t wear your immaculate wedding dress, or your dazzling new white jogging pants, if you want to stay impeccably clean! The operators of our resorts accept no responsibility for any dry-cleaning charges you may incur…

BattleKart is open to people who are at least 1.45 meters/4.8 ft tall. The minimum height is required for safe use of the karts. In case of doubt, the staff reserves the right to check the player’s height using a measuring stick and without shoes and to deny him/her access to the game if he/she does not meet this requirement.

In order to maintain comfort while riding and ensure a positive riding experience, an upper limit of 2 meters/6.7 ft for height and amaximum weight of
