HADO is a fast-paced augmented reality (AR) sport that turns science fiction into reality. Born in Japan in 2014, it was created by founder Hiroshi Fukuda, who set out to make the fantasy of throwing energy blasts real. Using a lightweight AR headset and motion sensors, players fire glowing energy blasts, block incoming attacks with force shields, and battle across a real-world court in thrilling, high-energy matches that combine movement, strategy, and technology.
To play HADO, each player gears up with an AR headset and a motion sensor worn on the arm. These track your movement and let you launch glowing energy blasts or raise virtual shields in real time. Matches are played in teams of up to three players on each side, with each game lasting 80 seconds. Run, dodge, and fire to hit opponents while blocking incoming attacks and protecting your life points. The team with the most points when the buzzer sounds wins — and if the score is tied, it’s sudden-death overtime where the first team to land a hit takes the victory.
HADO is for everyone — no matter your age, experience level, or ability. Whether you’re stepping onto the court for the very first time, chasing the thrill of competitive play, or simply looking for a unique way to stay active with friends, HADO welcomes you into the action. Its simple setup and intuitive gameplay make it easy for beginners to learn, while its depth, speed, and strategy keep seasoned players coming back for more. With inclusive features, adaptable play styles, and a community built on fun and teamwork, HADO proves that anyone can step into the arena and become a hero — all you need is a sense of adventure.
