Valo Motion

Valo Motion is a Finnish developer and manufacturer of mixed-reality active-gaming attractions. Founded in 2016 as an independent spin-off from Aalto University, the company combines digital games with physical exercise, turning climbing walls, trampolines and open play spaces into interactive entertainment environments. Its headquarters and development operations are based in Helsinki.

The business grew from academic research begun in 2013 into computer-vision body tracking and projected graphics for indoor sports. Its work spans game design, software engineering, attraction hardware and the integration of these elements into complete systems for venue operators. The resulting attractions bring video-game interaction into activities that players perform physically.

Attractions and games

The company introduced ValoClimb, an augmented-reality bouldering platform, in 2016, followed by the ValoJump interactive trampoline platform in 2018. ValoJump incorporates players into live video-game environments, while the ValoArena mixed-reality playground, introduced in 2022, supports unattended play for groups of four to six people.

Its broader lineup includes Groundfall, a full-body “floor-is-lava” group attraction; ValoBoard, a multiplayer board-sports simulator; and ValoPark, a compact active-entertainment concept designed for shopping malls and retail centers. Alongside these platforms, the studio develops games and software content for its attraction ecosystem.

Supporting venue operations

Valo Motion serves family entertainment centers, trampoline and activity parks, climbing gyms, hospitality venues and retail entertainment spaces. Its offering includes turnkey hardware and software development, ongoing game updates, technical support, replacement parts and operator marketing resources. Automated social video capture gives venues another way to share the player experience.

The Operations Hub cloud platform supports remote fleet management, content deployment and operator analytics. ValoLeague connects participating venues through ranked active eSports competitions, extending play beyond individual installations. Together, these systems support both attraction operation and continuing content delivery. As of the supplied November 2026 research, the company reported installations at more than 1,900 locations across over 80 countries.
