ColourGrid: A Fast-Paced Game of Colour, Reflexes and Fun

The lights flash. The floor comes alive. And suddenly, standing still is no longer an option.

ColourGrid is a newest, high-energy interactive arcade game at Timezone that turns movement, speed, and quick reactions into an all-out challenge. Think of it as a next-generation Floor is Lava game, where every step matters and the grid beneath your feet can change in an instant. One wrong move and it is back to the start. One smart move and you are still in the game.

Instead of buttons or joysticks, ColourGrid uses a glowing grid of tiles that react in real time. Players step, dodge, chase, and freeze as colours shift and patterns change, keeping every round fast, physical, and unpredictable.

With multiple game modes built around speed, survival, accuracy, and competition, ColourGrid is easy to learn and exciting to replay. This guide breaks down how the game works, the different modes you can try, and what to expect before stepping onto the grid for your first round.

How ColourGrid Works

ColourGrid is played on a floor-based grid made up of interactive tiles that light up, change colour, and respond instantly to movement. Every step is tracked in real time, so the game reacts immediately as players move across the grid.

At the start of each round, the tiles display specific colours and patterns based on the selected game mode. As the game progresses, the grid updates dynamically. The pace often increases, pushing players to think faster, move smarter, and stay aware of what is happening around them.

On-screen prompts guide players throughout the game with clear, easy-to-follow instructions. Depending on the mode, you may be asked to step on certain tiles, avoid danger zones, freeze when specific colours appear, or defend a section of the grid. The rules are simple to understand, even for first-time players.

What changes from round to round is the objective.

Some modes focus on reaching a target area or surviving without stepping on the wrong tiles. Others challenge players to find their assigned colours, score points, or compete directly against friends in fast-paced head-to-head rounds. This variety keeps the gameplay fresh and prevents sessions from feeling repetitive.

ColourGrid supports both solo play and group play, depending on the selected mode. It works just as well for individual challenges as it does for friendly competition with friends, siblings, or colleagues. Because rounds are short and quick to restart, it is easy to jump straight into another game without waiting.

Getting started is straightforward:

• Tap your Powercard, or use Tap & Play where available
• Select a game mode on screen
• Read the quick instructions and step onto the grid to begin

ColourGrid Game Modes

ColourGrid features four different game modes, each designed to test a different skill, from timing and speed to awareness and friendly competition. While every mode is easy to understand at the start, the challenge quickly ramps up as the grid reacts faster and the pressure builds.

Some modes reward precision. Others demand quick decisions and constant movement. Switching between modes keeps the experience fresh and gives players plenty of reasons to come back for another round.

1. Red Light Green Light

This mode is all about control and timing.

Players begin on an assigned colour lane and move by stepping on their coloured blinking tiles as they appear. When the grid switches to red, everyone must freeze immediately. Step on a red tile at the wrong moment and you reset, losing precious time and momentum.

It starts simple, but as the pace increases, staying calm becomes just as important as moving fast

2. Escape the Lava (Floor is Lava)

In this mode, the grid turns dangerous fast.

Red tiles represent lava and must be avoided at all costs, while green tiles act as safe zones where you can pause and plan your next move. Scattered across the grid are blue diamond tiles, which players can collect to score points and boost their total.

The challenge is balancing speed with awareness. Move too slowly and you fall behind. Move too fast and you risk stepping into lava.

3. Find the Colour

Simple rules. Competitive energy.

Each player is assigned a specific colour at the start of the round. When the grid lights up, the goal is to race across the floor and step on as many of your assigned colour tiles as possible before anyone else does.

It is fast, chaotic, and perfect for groups, especially when everyone is trying to outpace each other at the same time.

4. Sharp Shooter

Sharp Shooter brings head-to-head competition to the grid.

Players face off in a fast-paced battle where tiles become targets. Step on the right tiles to shoot and score hits, while dodging incoming attacks from your opponent. Reload tiles allow you to restock and stay in the fight, adding another layer of strategy to every move.

With health to manage and pressure coming from all directions, Sharp Shooter rewards quick reactions, smart positioning, and the ability to stay focused under fire.

Quick tips to play ColourGrid better

ColourGrid is easy to learn, but a few smart habits can make a big difference once the pace picks up. Whether you are playing solo or competing with friends, these tips will help you react faster and stay in control.

·       Keep your eyes scanning ahead, not just at your feet. Spotting upcoming colour changes early gives you more time to plan your next move.

·       Take smaller, quicker steps when the grid gets faster. This makes it easier to change direction or stop suddenly when patterns shift.

·       Stay light on your feet and avoid locking yourself into one position. Flexibility matters more than speed in most modes.

·       Communicate in team or competitive modes. Assign simple roles such as attacking or defending to stay organised and react faster.

·       Do not panic after a mistake. Rounds are quick to restart, and each game helps you learn the timing and patterns better.

Safety Tips

ColourGrid is designed to be fun, fast, and physical. To keep the experience enjoyable for everyone, it is important to follow these safety guidelines before stepping onto the grid.

·       Wear soft-soled shoes only. Heels, flip flops, hard-soled shoes, wet footwear, or bare feet are not allowed on the grid.

·       Be aware of other players, especially during group or competitive modes. Sudden turns and quick movements can happen at any time.

·       Avoid sprinting blindly across the grid. Controlled movement helps reduce the risk of slipping or colliding with others.

ColourGrid is not recommended for guests with epilepsy, heart conditions, those who are pregnant, or anyone with recent fractures or injuries.

If you are unsure whether the game is suitable for you, it is best to check with a staff member before playing.
