Malden's Boda Borg Announces Expansion

MALDEN, MA — Boda Borg Boston, reality gaming center in Malden, announced the addition of six new Quest spaces and 4,000 square feet to its Pleasant Street space Thursday. The expansion will increase the center's capacity over 30 percent when the new Quests open in 2020.

"The city of Malden has been a fantastic home for us," Chad Ellis, founder of Boda Borg Boston, said in a statement. "Company outings, university visits and Questers from all around Greater Boston and beyond have consistently kept us busy, and we knew it was time for a bigger and better Boda Borg Boston. We’re excited to give our fans six new Quests to experience over the next year."

The Sweden-based company opened its first U.S. location in Malden in 2015. The center offers unique challengers that test teams of 3-5 people on their mental and physical strength, as well as their flexibility.

The site currently has 19 immersive, live-action, themed Quests, including a magical potions class, piracy on the high seas, answering the riddle of the Sphinx and raiding a pantry as a team of rats, within the original 30,0000-square-foot facility.

With the expansion, Boda Borg Boston will offer up to 25 Quests, all ranging in themes from the eye of a hurricane, a damaged spaceship or a maze, that offer a variety of physicality options. Difficulty options range from Green (ADA compliant, no strenuous activity), to Red (light climbing and/or crawling), to Black (ninja warrior-type obstacles).

"We are so pleased that Boda Borg Boston has found a home in Malden," Mayor Gary Christenson said in a statement. "In bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to our downtown, they have greatly benefited our restaurants and retail and have become the centerpiece of our Gaming District designation. Their expansion can only continue to fuel Malden’s surge and we wish them the best."
