Are you running a location-based entertainment business with VR? A VR arcade, a barcade, an FEC with a VR offering? I hope you've either got free roam installed now or planned for the near future, because free roam is the future!

IAAPA’s a massive show. The organization expects 1,000+ vendors on the show floor in 2023. If you’re coming for the first time, or you’re only going to be around for a day or two? That can seem pretty overwhelming. The last thing you want to do is spend all that money and leave feeling like you missed something.

Sounds like a dream, right? A business where you can use your creativity to show people an amazing time — and make money? But you’re going to need some help, and the most valuable insights an escape room owner can get come from the experiences of fellow escape room owners.

We all know the rush of anticipation and excitement when you first step into an escape room, curious at how the story will unfold.

Each escape room tells a different story. Whether you find yourself submerged underwater or stranded in a jungle, the beauty of VR gaming for you, the owner, is that it provides ever-evolving stories and puzzles that give you more opportunities to bring families and friends together. 

How do we communicate the wonder people feel when they first watch a dragon soar overhead? The awe in a guest's face when they witness their friend finally crack the safe code and pull out a crown?  How do we take that personal group experience inside the headset and translate it into promotion to people who haven’t done it yet?

Meta’s Connect Keynote (formerly Oculus Connect Keynote) wrapped-up on October 11, boasting a broad range of intriguing announcements and updates. Among the Metaverse and software-related news was the official unveiling of the Meta Quest Pro; a premium, socially-focused VR headset with exciting new features that launched October 25th. 

As Technology Evolves, So Must Modern Entertainment Businesses

It doesn’t matter whether you love your work or hate it, a good work-life balance is often difficult for many in the entertainment business to achieve. 

It’s indisputable: ever since the very start, escape rooms have been an incredible hit across the world.

Thinking about becoming a VR operator? Whether you’ve got an existing business or you’re starting a whole new one, you’ve probably got a lot on your mind.
