Interactive X-Wall is based in Hengelo and was born from a simple observation. As a community sports coach, Maikel Rijnenberg noticed that fewer and fewer children were participating in local sports and exercise activities. This all changed when he organized a laser tag afternoon with a Fortnite theme, inspired by the immensely popular online game. To his surprise, dozens of children showed up, playing, running, and having fun together. This success inspired Maikel, who has a background in sports science, to develop the interactive X-Wall together with his partner, Erkan Kuzucu.

At Interactive X-Wall, we value health, education, and innovation. Our goal is to get everyone moving and to contribute to people’s health and physical well-being.

We see primary schools as the ideal place to get many children active. That’s why we’ve developed more than 35 educational games that align with the Dutch SLO learning objectives. With the X-Wall, schools can easily integrate active learning into their curriculum without requiring extra time or effort. This way, they take the next step towards a more dynamic school day.
