[Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/music/articles/immersive-gamebox-launches-netflix-kpop-040913305.html) published the announcement on October 30, 2026.\n\n## How the KPop Demon Hunters Game Works\n\n[Immersive Gamebox](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000vw8/immersive-gamebox) built the experience around moments and characters from the animated film. Players wear motion-tracking headwear and move, react and work together through a series of interactive games that use 3D motion tracking, projection mapping, touch-sensitive walls and spatial audio.\n\nEach player gets a personalized superfan avatar with a look, outfit and accessories drawn from the film's world. Playing as a superfan, participants help HUNTR/X protect the Honoon and travel through locations inspired by the film and Seoul, taking on mini-games and challenges built around the film's music and group play. The gameplay is designed for groups, including people who have not seen the film.\n\nImmersive Gamebox previously worked with [Netflix](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000044i/netflix) on its Squid Game and Floor is Lava experiences. \"KPop Demon Hunters perfectly captures what we do best: transforming the world's most exciting stories into shared experiences that friends and families can play together,\" said Lisa Paton, CEO of Immersive Gamebox, in a press release. \"Music, movement, and the collective energy of the fans are such a huge part of this film, and we can't wait for fans to join the action and become part of the story.\"\n\nThe film helped Netflix earn $11.5 billion in the third quarter of 2025, a 17% increase, and a sequel has been greenlit with co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Applehans set to return.\n\n## Immersive Gamebox's Franchise Agreements\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Immersive Gamebox signed a multi-million pound franchise agreement with Beyond Box Operations in March 2026 to open 30 sites across the UK over five years. The same records show a multi-million dollar master franchise agreement with Apparel Group, signed in April 2025, to roll out Gamebox locations across GCC shopping malls over five years, drawing on Apparel's 2,300+ retail-store footprint. The records list operations in 7 countries and total funding of $45.5 million.\n\n## Earlier Immersive Gamebox Announcements\n\nIgn reported on October 23, 2026 that Immersive Gamebox and Netflix would launch a KPop Demon Hunters experience in January 2027 across select U.S. locations, describing a 60-minute interactive game using 3D motion tracking, projection mapping and touch-sensitive walls, with tickets available in December. GeekWire reported on August 24, 2026 that the UK-founded company was opening its first Pacific Northwest location at Westfield Southcenter mall in Tukwila, south of Seattle, that week.\n\n## Ticket Sales and Waitlist\n\nTickets for the KPop Demon Hunters experience drop in December, ahead of the January 2027 launch at Immersive Gamebox locations across the U.S. Fans can join a waitlist for priority access through the [company's announcement](https://immersivegamebox.com).\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
