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!
Is the kart really moving or am I sitting in front of a screen?
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.
BattleKart is more for children, isn't it?
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!
Are there any two-seater karts so I can take my child with me?
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.
How safe are your karts and why don't I have to wear a helmet?
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!
Is BattleKart just one game?
No! We offer several game modes:
BattleRace,
BattleSnake,
BattleColor,
BattleFoot,
BattleVirus and
BattlePool. You can find game descriptions and videos on this website.
How fast do your karts 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!
How long does a game last?
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.
How do I have to dress to play BattleKart?
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…
What is the minimum age limit?
Every player must be 11 years old minimum and reach 1.45m (4ft 9in) in order to safely drive the karts.
Each session lasts 15 minutes.
A session generally comprises 3-4 game modes.
Here are the different game modes:
BattleRace, BattleSnake, BattleFoot, BattleColor or BattleVirus
How many karts can play at the same time?
We have 12 karts that can play at the same time. You do not need to book all 12 of these places, we will fill them up with other customers. However if you would prefer a private game, you are welcome to book all twelve of these places yourself.
Do I have to book or can I just walk in?
We do accept walk-ins, but we would always recommend pre-booking in order to avoid disappointment.
Do you host corporate events?
Yes we do. Please get in touch with us for a bespoke package.
How safe are your karts and why don't I have to wear a helmet?
BattleKart have developed an anti-collision system that takes control of your kart and brakes when necessary to avoid accidents.This system avoids most collisions (therefore helmets are not required), however it is not an absolute guarantee. Therefore we ask our riders to drive sensibly.
Do you have on-site parking?
Yes, we have 40 free on-site parking spaces.
