Rivals Innovation brings together ten years of experience developing, building and operating leisure attractions. Founded by brothers Mike and Chris Knell, the wider business has grown into a team spanning venue operations, design, engineering and original product development.

Our completed projects include Prison Island Maidstone, seven Prison Putt adventure golf courses across the UK and Europe, and the design and build of Rivals Social Canterbury. Opened in 2026, Rivals Social brings competitive gaming, immersive attractions and hospitality together in one multi-activity entertainment venue.

These projects established the expertise behind Rivals Innovation. Building on the design and engineering capabilities developed through Timescape Adventures, we now deliver original attractions, including Battleball, and complete venue projects for other operators. Our own venues remain central to that development, providing the real world experience that informs everything we create.
