Funcity Adventure Park, LLC

Funcity Adventure Park, LLC is a private U.S. limited liability company operating indoor family entertainment and adventure parks. No public ticker, revenue, or employee figures are verifiable; the company does not appear to file SEC disclosures, and no parent or franchise-holding entity could be confirmed from public sources. Park-level hiring notices indicate roughly 30–40 employees per site (Woodridge, IL; Delta Township, MI). Locations include Algonquin and Woodridge, IL; Cheektowaga and Syracuse, NY; Citrus Heights, CA; Millville, NJ; and Delta Township (Lansing), MI, where local reporting in June 2024 described the chain as having "just over a dozen" U.S. locations and framed openings as franchise expansion. A BBB profile exists for the Algonquin, IL site (215 S Randall Rd). Entity registrations under similar names exist in New York (2022, dissolved) and Rhode Island (2024, Barrington, RI), but their relationship to the defendant in the case below is not established.

Products / services. Funcity sites are trampoline and activity centers offering trampoline courts, rock-climbing walls, tube slides, zip lines, ropes/challenge courses, ninja courses, ball pits, arcade games, dodgeball, bumper ball, and battle beam, plus birthday parties and group-event rentals. Passes are sold by time block (roughly $22–$30 in reporting). It is an operating company, not a patent-assertion entity.

Patent-litigation posture. The case data show exactly one tracked matter, with Funcity as defendant and zero as plaintiff — consistent with an operating company defending an infringement suit rather than an NPE or serial litigant. Venue was the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division (case 1:24-cv-05275, Judge Sunil R. Harjani) — the defendant's home forum, not an NPE-favored district such as the Eastern District of Texas.

Notable case. JiMi IP, LLC et al. v. Funcity Adventure Park, LLC (filed June 24, 2024) was brought by JiMi IP, LLC — described in litigation commentary as a patent-assertion/IP-licensing entity — together with co-plaintiff Rope Courses, Inc., the original owner of the asserted zip-track/challenge-course patents (U.S. 8,066,578; 10,478,737; 11,376,513). The complaint targeted the "Ropes Course" and "Zipline" attractions at the Algonquin, IL park. The action was dismissed without prejudice by stipulation under a separate agreement, with dismissal to become with prejudice if no enforcement proceeding were filed within 90 days; no merits findings were made.
