The team behind the inflatable amusement park Bounce Empire is expanding its footprint with the launch of Immersive Empire on June 5.
Inspired by founder James Hay-Arthur’s international travels, the concept blends cutting-edge technology, cinematic gameplay, nightlife-quality production and advanced robotics to bring global entertainment innovations to Colorado.
“We set out to design what the future of entertainment could look and feel like,” Hay-Arthur said. “With Immersive Empire, every detail was intentionally crafted to transport guests somewhere unexpected.”
Located at 1380 S. Public Road in Lafayette, the venue features six core immersive environments designed for teens, adults, corporate outings and nightlife crowds:
- Motion Madness: a 270-degree motion-synchronized cinematic journey
- Playbox: An interactive throwing gaming area where speed and teamwork control the gameplay
- Action: An interactive gaming showdown where players compete inside a reactive challenge room combining speed, teamwork, lights and physical play
- Gold Rush Saloon: A Wild West shootout powered by projection mapping
- Mulligan’s Challenge: Colorado’s largest golf simulator, featuring a $5,000 hole-in-one cash prize challenge
- The Dome: A 42-foot-wide LED visual centerpiece inspired by festival production
Guests can purchase customized cotton candy from a robotic concession stand and a robotic café serves more than 100 specialty beverage combinations. They can also create custom keepsakes with a 3D printer.
Integrated into the Bounce Empire footprint while maintaining a distinct environment, guests can cross over to enjoy Bounce Empire’s 21+ ultra lounge, sports theater and Flatirons-view terrace.
General admission is $24, covering all core attractions, with a la carte gameplay options starting at $4.
Immersive Empire will be open daily through the summer, featuring late-night weekend hours.
