GENERAL FAQs

What are your hours?

We are open Monday to Thursday from 10am to 11pm and
Friday to Sunday from 10am-12am. We are located in Santa Monica, California.

How does the Player One VR experience compare to other Competition on the Market?

We are the leader in true 5k VR free roam motion capture with a full immersion. The experience is completely realistic without any lag times or delays so that you will achieve an out of this world experience. We have curated our games selections to only bring you the best in the world.

Do you have a minimum age requirement?

All of our experiences utilize equipment that are recommended by some of the manufacturers for ages 10 and up.  We understand that technology is a big part of younger kids' lives and most kids are more than capable of using the equipment, so we do allow ages 6 and up at parent/guardian's discretion and consent. For guests under 18 years old, a parent/guardian must be able to sign a minor waiver form. 

How many players can play at the same time?

That depends on the VR Experience you choose. You can see on every experience page how many players can participate at the same time. Depending on the game, the number of players are 1 to 8. The games are a social experience so we highly recommend at least 2 players. Feel free to contact us for recommendations and to book multiple game rooms at the same time (Call/Text 323-443-2000 or email info@playeronevrworld.com). If you have an event, please visit our Private Party page for more information.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Walk-ins are welcome! Although we recommend booking your experience online to secure your reservation. For last minute reservations you can call or text us at 323-443-2000 to confirm availability.

Will I be playing with other people, or just my group?

We have four rooms of Free Roam VR with capacity of 4-8 players. Unless you book a private time, all of our Free Roam VR may have other players coming into experience the game as well.

How do players avoid hitting each other or the wall?

Using real time motion capture technology, our cameras track your entire body in real time to see other players in your group and their movement. In addition, alerts will be sent out to all players to alert them if they are too close to any hard objects or walls. There are clear boundaries in the game to prevent you from exiting the game area. The game will pause should any player move too much into any area they should not cross.

Is there motion sickness?

Most people will not experience any motion sickness because you are in free roam with no lags or delays and are actually physically walking around instead of using buttons to move in the game. Motion sickness is caused by a difference between your actual and perceived motion. The motion capture technology tracks you in real-time, your real movements translate to your perceived movements. In addition, the same goes with single player pods in which you would “teleport” using buttons.

The 360 degree Virtual Ride and 9D Motorcycle may slightly affect some people because they mimic real life rides. These rides are 7-10 minutes in time and can be stopped at any time.

What are your physical requirements? Can a person in a wheelchair play?

There are no weight limits with the Free Roam games, but the 360 Degree Ride, Motorcycle, and Treadmill has a maximum of 270lb limit.

 

To be comfortable, guests must be at least 46” (1.16m) tall.

 

Our facility is wheelchair accessible and complies with all city, state, and federal requirements.
Wheelchair users can ride the 360 Degree Rides & Motorcycles as long as they are able to fit in the seating arrangement. In addition, our individual pods can accommodate all wheelchair guests. Our Free Roam games require the ability to move freely, our safety system is unable to safely accommodate wheelchair users during group play.

 

Be sure to consult your doctor before visiting us if you have pre-existing serious medical conditions (heart conditionst), conditions that affect your ability to safely perform physical activities (pregnancy), psychiatric conditions (such as anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder), or photosensitive epilepsy.
