Outing Highlights
Five immersive story worlds
Players choose from experiences such as B-Block Breakout (prison break), Mansion of Death (horror), Abyss Vault (sci‑fi underwater), The Parvus Box (quirky shrinking adventure) and Wayfinders: Escape from Aurora (cinematic space rescue). Each scenario pairs a distinct genre with puzzle-driven teamwork.
Backpack‑less, free‑roam VR with Vive Focus 3
Gameplay uses the Vive Focus 3 standalone headset for true 360° immersion without a heavy backpack or trailing cables, keeping play lightweight and more comfortable for younger players and those who prefer less gear.
Designed for parties and larger teams
Sessions accommodate pairs through large groups; small teams may be joined with others and larger contingents are split into multiple teams so up to roughly 18–20 players can take part concurrently across two or three teams.
