Pixel Pop – Two Months In: A Look Back at Cornwall’s First Pixel Floor Experience

It has officially been two months since Pixel Pop opened its doors and introduced Cornwall to its first and only interactive Pixel Floor, and what an incredible start it has been. What began as a unique idea to bring something truly different to Newquay has quickly turned into a community favourite for families, schools, SEN groups, and birthday celebrations.

From the moment we switched on the floor for the first time, we knew it had the potential to create something special. But the response has exceeded every expectation.

A Growing Community of Players

In just eight weeks, hundreds of children and families have visited Pixel Pop — many becoming regulars who return to beat their scores, try new games, or simply burn off energy in a fun, safe, creative environment. We've already run dozens of birthday parties, hosted competition-style evenings, and even welcomed SEN schools seeking sensory-friendly sessions tailored to their pupils.

We recently hit 1,000 Facebook followers, and the support from the local community has been overwhelming. Every share, review, and recommendation has helped us grow faster than we ever anticipated.

What Players Are Loving

Across all age groups, a few favourites have really stood out:

• Reaction games that get kids racing across the floor.

• Team challenges, where families compete for top scores.

• Sensory-friendly experiences for children who benefit from calmer, slower-paced visuals.

• High-energy modes, perfect for birthday groups who want to burn off excitement.

We’ve also seen some serious competition. The current high score sits at an impressive 6171, proving that Cornwall might just have a few Pixel Floor champions in the making.

Making an Impact with SEN Groups

One of the most meaningful parts of our first two months has been working with SEN pupils. Feedback from schools has highlighted boosts in confidence, communication, motor skills, and emotional expression. The Pixel Floor’s combination of movement, colour, and sound offers a space where children can explore and succeed at their own pace — and seeing that in action has been one of our biggest achievements so far.

Thank You, Cornwall

To every family, parent, child, school, and supporter who has visited or helped spread the word: thank you. The last two months have been unforgettable, and we’re excited for everything still to come.

If you haven’t visited yet, now’s the perfect time.
