Electric Gamebox opens second U.S. location in Texas theater

Electric Gamebox today announced a partnership with San Antonio-based theater chain Santikos Entertainment. It’s opening its second U.S.-based gaming concession stand in the theater’s Cibolo location.

The company’s titular gameboxes are interactive digital rooms with touchscreens, projection mapping, and surround sound. Groups of two to six can play games together in the rooms, with the games on offer including short experiences like Temple of Coins (in which players try to collect as many coins as possible) and Block Smash Mania (fairly self-explanatory). All of the games last about 15 to 60 minutes.
