The timeline depends on the venue, fit-out, permits, equipment delivery and staff preparation. We review your project and agree a launch schedule before work begins.

We develop our own team-based VR games and currently offer 25 unique game modes with different gameplay mechanics for various age groups and play styles. This allows our partners to attract a broad audience with different preferences. We also provide support from the moment the contract is signed and assist partners throughout the launch and operation of their arena.
No prior VR business experience is required, as all our partners gain access to a training platform with the necessary information. We also hold regular online meetings with partners, where we provide additional training and share company updates. Training is provided, but active management, customer acquisition and cost control are required to operate the business successfully.
Partner results vary by location, demand, pricing, operating costs and management. We share historical case studies with the reporting period and cost definitions, and help you explore assumptions for your proposed venue. Revenue, profit and investment recovery are not guaranteed.
We target a broad audience, from 6 to 99+ years old, so everyone can find a game they enjoy. A significant portion of our events are birthday parties and corporate events, making our arenas appealing to children, as well as their parents, grandparents, and beyond.
