Dave & Buster’s Debuts First Virtual Reality Free-Roaming Arena Experiences in Tampa, Florida

Expands Relationship with VRstudios – Builds on Strong Customer Interest for Its VR Simulator Attractions


Redmond, WA, May 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VRstudios® and Dave & Buster’s announced today the immediate availability of new and exciting virtual reality VRcade Arena™ experiences, including the VR sport of the future,” VRcade PowerPlay™”, and “Barking Irons Gunslinger™.” Dave & Buster’s is the first nationwide Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) operator to debut VRcade PowerPlay, and the experiences are being offered first for a limited time at the Dave & Buster’s location in Tampa, Florida.

Dave & Buster’s guests will now have the choice of multiple types of VR attractions, both on Dave & Buster’s popular proprietary multiplayer simulator, and now in a free-roaming environment. In this new experience, players can explore without wires and become completely immersed in virtual world experiences and action-packed competition. VRcade PowerPlay is the only truly athletic eSport in VR, a game in which players compete through a series of matches and move naturally as if they were on a real-world playing field: running, ducking, and jumping to defeat their friends. Best described as a combination of Laser Tag and Dodge Ball, VRcade PowerPlay is highly competitive, re-playable and fun for all skill levels. Players may also elect to play a second title, Barking Irons Gunslinger, where they will step into a Wild West town and face off against their friends in the ultimate VR showdown. Players can compete in three different game modes to see who has the fastest hands in the West, including a “High Noon” quick draw duel, a fast-paced search and destroy engagement, and an exciting skeet shoot.
