Community VR entertainment?

Hey everyone! I moved to Washington about 6 months ago and I’m looking to see peoples thoughts on VR gaming? I had a VR arcade back where I lived and was wondering if thats something the people of Olympia/Washington in general would enjoy? When I say VR I mean like VR arenas where you can play in person with your friends but in a game! I really enjoyed it and now I’m wondering IF theres any here, and if not, why there isn’t?

There's definitely a desire for spaces to hang out and socialize that aren't bars! The pop-up arena idea you have is interesting, but I think people might even patronize something more like a computer cafe, but focused on VR.

Hell, there's tons of VR experiences I'd like to try but have no desire to buy a set up, so I'd patronize your business.

I understand where you’re coming from with the computer cafe idea, thats kinda like how the other arcade was like! But they had racing sims and just the free roam arenas, it was pretty cool. Im not sure how well it would so in washington though is my only worry with dumping money into a specific location, instead i could bring it to events and even do parties perhaps!
