Malibu Jack’s just got even more exciting! Creative Works is proud to announce the recent installation of ValoArena, a cutting-edge mixed reality (MR) playground, at the all-new Malibu Jack’s in North Richland Hills, Texas.

Malibu Jack’s—part of the Five Star Parks & Attractions family—officially opened its doors on Friday, June 20, 2025, and brings a whopping 137,000 square feet of indoor fun to guests of all ages. As The Largest Indoor Theme Park in Texas, this new venue pulls out all the stops—and the addition of ValoArena helps push the guest experience even further.

What is ValoArena?

Developed by Valo Motion, ValoArena is the world’s first gearless, headset-free mixed reality attraction. This unique playground allows up to 6 players to jump, dodge, and compete in fast-paced games using just their bodies. No wearables or learning curve—just pure intuitive fun that’s perfect for families, parties, and group events.

“Working with both the Malibu Jack’s and Five Star teams has been wonderful. Their focus on creating a special experience for all of the guests is evident at every turn. We’re thrilled that ValoArena is a part of those special experiences for their guests, and can help contribute to memories made there.”

Russ Van Natta, Director of Sales at Creative Works

Game Modes That Keep the Fun Coming

At the time of installation, ValoArena features 7 high-energy game modes, including the latest favorite: Party Box. This lighthearted collection of mini-games transforms a digital tabletop into a toy-filled playground full of surprises.

Whether you’re dodging unicorns, spelling wacky words, or racing to collect colorful tiles, each game is packed with energy, variety, and laughs. And when the action’s over, players can instantly share gameplay videos thanks to ValoArena’s built-in photo booth functionality—making every game a sharable memory and boosting your brand in the process.

A Perfect Fit for a Texas-Sized Theme Park

“I love this attraction! It’s been well received! Kids and adults are loving it.”

Jeff Gebhart, VP of Entertainment and Game Strategy at Five Star Parks

ValoArena fits right in with Malibu Jack’s other attractions, which include go-karts, mini golf, laser tag, arcade games, and more. It brings a futuristic, active gaming option to a venue already known for non-stop fun—and it’s a great example of how Creative Works helps operators create unforgettable guest experiences.
