The firm offers group gaming which includes features such as motion tracking, touch screens and surround sound in interactive smart rooms.

Games include Squid Game which challenges players to survive six missions inspired by the hit TV show and Angry Birds which is a life-size digital version of the online app that responds to your body movement and touch.

Others include Paw Patrol, Shaun the Sheep and a James Bond-inspired mission, with games for all ages and groups.

According to its website, it promises a “truly unique immersive experience… like nothing you have experienced before” and claims to be in one of Tripadvisor's Top 10% of worldwide attractions.

The branch at Bluewater will be Immersive Gamebox’s eighth UK location with the closest being over the river in Lakeside, Essex.

It also has sites in 11 states in America including California, Texas and New York and worldwide including Dubai and Berlin, Germany.

More details and an opening date for the Kent site have yet to be revealed but both Bluewater and Immersive Gamebox have been contacted for further information.

Last month, plans for an entertainment hub at Bluewater, which could attract the likes of Putt Shack and Ninja Warrior, were approved.

The centre put forward proposals to convert 10 shopping units into leisure facilities with space for restaurants and bars as it looked to respond to the demand.

The planning statement added: “The leisure element could comprise of uses that include interactive and immersive games; sport activities; family entertainment; or soft play.

“A number of these uses are often termed competitive socialising where there is a mix of leisure and food and beverage uses.”

The latest news comes as the shopping destination sees another global brand open – Black Sheep Coffee.

A large sign has been spotted by shoppers covering the unit saying the coffee shop was coming soon.
