An interactive video game in Dumbo is giving players an escape from the real world, with a COVID-19 friendly gaming experience for the family to enjoy.

Beat the Bomb is an immersive game in which players race against the clock to beat the world's largest paint bomb.

Those who lose get blasted by paint, so players wear a hazmat suit and face shield before they play.

Players can go through five rooms competing in interactive games in which they have to crack a code or pass through a laser maze.

Those who can't make it out to Dumbo can join in the fun from home with a new online Beat the Bomb game.

Staff clean each room between game sessions. Masks and social distancing are required.
