Lighting Up the Game: Our New NinjaPods and Rugged Lighting Integration
Take Your Tag Challenge Zone to the Next Level
In the fast-moving world of indoor play, standing still often means falling behind. Operators are constantly looking for fresh ways to captivate visitors and keep them coming back for more. We know that the best experiences are those that fully immerse a player in the action, motivating physical activity and challenge.
We’re excited to introduce our latest innovation: the integration of NinjaPods with Rugged Lighting. By connecting these two play systems, we have created a tag arena experience where the environment itself reacts to the gameplay with every move. It is a simple upgrade that makes a massive impact on how children and teens interact with your venue.
What is NinjaPods?
Rugged Interactive’s NinjaPods is a lightpod-based tag challenge. Similar to Freedom Gaming, players explore a soft play structure or obstacle course to seek their colours and score points. NinjaPods offers a smaller, more space-efficient and budget-friendly interactive play upgrade with a fun, Ninja-themed twist.
With the integration of Rugged Lighting and NinjaPods, not only do players get instant feedback from lightpods and the scoreboard, our dynamic lighting now also responds to gameplay.
- Real-time reactions: LEDs reacts to NinjaPods hit and winning teams at the end of the game, creating engaging gameplay.
- Immersive atmosphere: The glow of Rugged Lighting creates a sense of drama and urgency that keeps players focused.
- Enhanced gameplay: This integration turns a physical test of speed into a multi-sensory experience that feels premium and modern.
The Power of Visual Enhancement
We often talk about the ‘wow factor’ in indoor play, and nothing delivers that quite like dynamic LEDs.
First impressions matter, and a venue that uses light effectively immediately looks more premium and exciting. Beyond just looking good, this setup helps to define your NinjaPods tag arena as a standout feature.

Why Operators Love Integrated Tech
From a business perspective, the integration of NinjaPods and Rugged Lighting is about more than just aesthetics. It is a strategic tool designed to improve the customer journey and boost footfall. When a space feels high-tech and responsive, guests are more likely to perceive it as a premium experience worth a higher ticket price.
- Increased dwell time: Immersive environments encourage repeat play, keeping families in your venue for longer.
- Simplified installation: Our indoor play lighting is modular and designed for quick setup, so you can upgrade your space without lengthy closures.
- Durability and safety: Like all our products, Rugged Lighting is built for the rigours of a busy play centre and it is fully certified for peace of mind.
Making Every Second Count
The beauty of our tag challenges is the simplicity of install, staffing and gameplay, but the addition of game-responsive lighting adds a layer of depth that appeals to everyone from toddlers to competitive teens. By upgrading NinjaPods, you are showing your customers that you value innovation and their overall experience.
We believe that the future of family entertainment lies in these connected, reactive environments. It is about creating a world where every jump, tag, and score feels significant.
