Activate is officially on a winning streak. For the second year in a row, the Financial Times has named the live-action gaming brand the #1 fastest-growing leisure and entertainment company in the Americas. The 2026 rankings also placed the Winnipeg-based company as the #1 fastest-growing company in Canada and 11th overall across all industries in North and South America.

The prestigious ranking is based on Activate’s compound annual revenue growth between 2021 and 2024. During this period, the company revolutionized the social entertainment space with its tech-driven gaming rooms where players physically jump, climb, and dodge lasers to complete challenges. This rapid financial success follows a surge in demand for "active gaming" experiences that blend physical activity with digital high scores.

To support this explosive trajectory, Activate recently doubled its credit facility to $72 million through a partnership with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC). Co-founders Adam and Megan Schmidt have set their sights on aggressive international growth. The company plans to expand its footprint to 100 locations across 12 countries by 2027, scaling its unique brand of entertainment across the globe.
