Video games are a lot of fun, but melting into the couch for countless hours while you play them is arguably not the best way to spend a day. But now, a brand new attraction has sped into our city that combines all the fun of virtual games with getting out and about. BattleKart started in Belgium before taking over Europe, and it's essentially Mario Kart IRL. And as we're sure you'll agree, Mario Kart is always a fun time.
At BattleKart, you'll drive real electric karts around a real race track, but play with with augmented reality elements, like firing off virtual rockets at other racers, spraying virtual oil puddles to trip up your competitors and collecting mystery bonuses to help you cross the finish line first. There are six different games to play, and you can team up with your mates or go head-to-head. It's basically living out your childhood dream of going inside a video game.
BattleKart Melbourne is the first Australian outpost and it's the ideal, fun-filled group activity if you've got mates who love trying out something different. It's $69 for one session, $110 for two or $150 for three, with each person getting 15 minutes of playing time per session. So if you round up a big crew, it's pretty affordable.
