Get ready to experience NERF like never before, as we join forces to introduce adrenaline-pumping adventures to fans of all ages in China, starting in 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that Kingsmen Xperience, our United States location-based entertainment focused subsidiary, and Max-Matching Entertainments, an international entertainment company specialising in LBE projects, have formed a strategic partnership to bring the globally popular NERF Action Xperience family entertainment centers, under license by leading toy and game company Hasbro, to China beginning in 2025.

Under the partnership, Kingsmen Xperience will manage the intellectual property and licensor relations, and lead design and development. Max-Matching Entertainments will identify the locations and destination venues, develop the properties, and provide best-in-class operations and facilities management.

NERF Action Xperience is a true active play center that unlocks a totally new and exciting way to experience the NERF brand for fans of all ages, bringing NERF play to never imagined heights of immersion and excitement. Facilities will range in size from 1,500 m2 – 4,500m2, and will feature everything needed to realize the ultimate NERF experience: blaster battle zones, sports challenges, an obstacle course, a food & beverage area, and a retail store.
