ValoBoard, new fantasy board sports attraction

Today we are launching ValoBoard, our second new product in 2026, and we’re making one of the hardest, most physical forms of movement approachable, and turning it into a fantasy board experience for anyone willing to give it a try.

Fantasy board sports, finally indoors

Anyone who has watched a snowboarder launch off a ciff has imagined doing it themselves. That is the fantasy: landing the moves your favourite riders make look effortless. But whether you are learning to snowboard or surf, it usually takes a mountain, expensive gear, and a whole season of falling over.

ValoBoard takes the thrilling, natural movements of board sports and makes them instantly approachable, giving every guest the ultimate fantasy: stepping on a board and pulling off epic, gravity-defying moves in larger-than-life worlds, delivering superhero-level thrills without needing years to master them.

ValoBoard: step on the board, become the superhero

Your guest steps onto the tilt board, and ValoVision’s full-body tracking drops them into the game world on the big screen. They control the action with their own body: a lean steers, a shift in weight aims, and a jump launches them into a trick, grabbing the board mid-air as if they have done it for years. The screen responds instantly.

Here is what your customers will appreciate most: the person on screen is not an avatar. It is the guest who walked in twenty minutes ago, doing something they were sure they could not do, in front of everyone they came with. That is the kind of moment people do not scroll past. They queue for it.

ValoBoard launches with three new original games 

🌇 Sunset Skaters is the friendly one with 3 levels. It is a bright three-lane run that makes even a nervous first-timer feel like a pro-skater

🏔️ Trickpunk Snowboarding is an open mountain with rails that are hard enough to make a room go quiet. Your guests would love the endless possibilities this sandbox game has to offer, and don’t even get us started on all the cool tricks they’d be able to do safely!

🌪️ Spinblades is a destruction derby for two. It throws two riders onto a floating platform to knock each other off, which is the fastest way to get a group shouting at each other in public. It is also the quickest cure we know for a teenager announcing that they are bored.

What ValoBoard does for your indoor entertainment business

📐 15 m² (161 ft²), a standard 2.7 m (8'11") ceiling height, no structural work, no special flooring. That corner of your venue currently earning nothing becomes the loudest, most attractive part of your FEC’s offering.

🤝 It runs unmanned, in gated admission or pay-to-play, with nothing to hand out, clean, or explain. 

👥 Two riders at a time, sessions of 2 to 3 minutes, ages 6 and up. 

⚡ Up to 70 to 74 riders an hour in gated admission with Rush Hour mode, out of that same small footprint.

📱 ValoBoard is a word-of-mouth marketing engine for your venue. Every game ends with a QR code that lets players download and share their highlight video, complete with your logo. Your brand leaves the venue with every clip, putting it directly in front of the people most likely to visit next.

ValoBoard joins ValoClimb, ValoJump and ValoArena as the fourth kind of movement we have turned into a mixed-reality gaming experience.

‍It is also the first product where we have combined ValoVision, our full-body 3D tracking technology, with a physical controller. Hear it from our Lead Game Developer:

“The board gives us something we love as game developers: what you do on it is exactly what happens in the game, one-to-one. That precision lets us create a real skill ceiling, where small adjustments matter. We’ve seen four-year-olds laugh their way down a snowboard run and adults compete for trick scores for an hour on the same product. That captures our design philosophy: engagement lives in the path to mastery, not mastery itself. Our job is to create a starting point almost anyone can reach, and a ceiling almost nobody can.” - Lauri Lehtonen, Lead Game Developer at Valo Motion
