Design and Construction

DarkLight's Hex Arena structure is designed from a basic set of four parts to allow interesting combinations of paths and passages, and to make construction quick and easy for any small team of competent builders any where in the world. 

Standard materials

Made almost entirely from standard sizes of universally available materials the construction is very lightweight, freestanding and self supporting whilst being extremely strong.

Multi-level

The Hex Arena's modular parts encourage continually changing heights with platforms on many different levels, instead of set floor heights, increasing player disorientation, immersion and re-playability.

Cut-outs

Vantage points or cut-outs can be made in any part of the arena to balance advantageous or disadvantageous positions.

Customisable

Once the structure is complete, the arena can be themed and customised as desired. We have arenas across the world, personalised for our operators using custom decor and interior designs.
