Two leisure venues in the UK have seen the installation of a DigiWall climbing attraction from UK-based interactive family attractions and climbing wall specialist, Innovative Leisure.

Kidzworld, at Cornish Market World in Cornwall, and Hop Farm, Kent, have both added DigiWall to their current offering for visitors of all ages. Best described as a computer game played through a climbing wall interface, DigiWall provides a completely new take on the familiar climbing wall.

It's made up of several different sections, each 1m wide x 2.8m high (3ft x 10ft). The standard version consists of six sections and can be placed against a flat wall, in a corner or as a freestanding unit with a total width of 6.4m (21ft). Customised walls are also available.

Each section of the DigiWall features 24 grips for hands and feet incorporating a sensor and light which in turn, are linked to a computer. A surround sound system is also included and a variety of games can be played by users as they climb over the wall, each using its own sound design.

Unlike ordinary computer games, DigiWall provides physically challenging, computer based entertainment for a wide age range and brings many new elements into the climbing wall experience.
