The 6 Best VR Arcades & Free-Roam Arenas

Location-based VR has gone way past the headset-on-a-chair demo. These are the free-roam and multiplayer VR venues worth driving to.

1. Sandbox VR — Full-body, free-roam multiplayer VR with motion capture — the most cinematic location-based VR experience, now in dozens of cities.
2. Zero Latency — Warehouse-scale free-roam VR for up to 8 players — one of the original large-format VR arena brands.
3. The VOID (successors) — Pioneered hyper-reality walk-through VR; its format lives on in the free-roam venues it inspired.
4. VR Junkies — Multi-location VR arcade franchise with a broad library of room-scale games for groups and parties.
5. Activate — Gamified interactive rooms blending VR and physical challenge courses — strong for groups and team outings.
6. Two Bit Circus — LA 'micro-amusement park' mixing VR, AR, and interactive games under one roof.
