VEX Play drops teams of 2–18 players into a compact, high-energy VR arena where 40 minutes of curated play is the measure of success.

Highlights
Outing Highlights
Forty minutes of mix‑and‑match multiplayer
Each booking delivers 40 minutes of gameplay that teams can compose from a menu of missions (express and full options available), letting small squads or larger groups stitch together shooters, survival waves and escape‑room scenarios to fill the session.
Backpack‑less free‑roam with Vive Focus 3
Players wear standalone Vive Focus 3 headsets so there are no backpacks or trailing cables; the lightweight setup is designed for full 360° immersion while being comfortable and more child‑ and female‑friendly than tethered rigs.
A roster of shooters, cooperative missions and escape puzzles
VEX Play offers a variety of game genres — from zombie shooters like Mission Z and Death Squad to fantasy shooters, cooperative trials such as Temple Quest, PvP arenas in Cyber Clash and a VR escape experience in LUNARSCAPE — all selectable to reach the 40‑minute total.
What the day feels like
What it feels like
Sessions start tight and focused: a short briefing precedes a compact, intense block of play where teams cooperate or compete inside distinct missions. Movement feels immediate and unencumbered thanks to the untethered headsets, and missions shift tone quickly — one map is a heart‑pounding zombie shootout, the next a puzzle‑driven escape, then a cooperative wave survival or fast PvP match.

Details to review before reserving
The session structure includes approximately 5 minutes of briefing followed by 40 minutes of gameplay tied together as the booking's core experience.
No special equipment is required from participants; players are supplied with standalone Vive Focus 3 headsets by the operator.
Vive Focus 3 headsets are used — they are adjustable and lightweight compared with backpack systems, which helps with comfort during the full play block.
Bookings accommodate groups from 2 up to 18 players; when more than 6 players are present teams are typically split so multiple missions run in parallel.
