“America’s Playground” has a new addition, and this one’s built for pleasure and business.

Play Playground, the 15,000-square-foot “playdate” venue that’s just opened at Luxor, is tapping into our childhood memories by combining beloved favorites such as musical chairs, parachute, and “Red Light, Green Light,” with life-sized versions of the board and block games that kept us occupied as kids.

There’s Perfect Popper, a timed competition in which large shapes are placed in their corresponding holes; Biggle Ball, a jumbo version of that game in which you move a pinball through a tilting maze; and the sure-to-be-popular Bullseye Bounce, in which you suit up in Velcro and get catapulted against a wall, à la Most Extreme Elimination Challenge.
