Discuss platform and app support ↗06 / FROM PRODUCT TO PLACE
A platform.
A physical presence.
Bring us your market.
Let’s explore the opportunity.
Arcade operators, entertainment venues and location-based leisure businesses have different needs. A distribution discussion should start with your customer network, venue formats and local support capabilities—not a one-size-fits-all promise.

A distinctive product.
A supported partnership.
Bring more than a VR cabinet to your market. VAR BOX combines dedicated hardware, a recognisable game library and connected player features—with implementation support behind the experience.
One story to take to venues
Present the hardware, games and player experience together. Show venue owners how VAR BOX works as a connected entertainment platform, rather than a collection of separate components.
Games with their own identity
Double Tap, Blockade and Overkill bring different worlds and play styles to the conversation—from precision challenges to survival and sci-fi action.
Explore the games ↗A connected player experience
App features such as game discovery, rankings and play records give players ways to stay connected beyond their time at the cabinet.

Configuration and content selection, venue requirements and installation planning.

Installation and calibration support, operator training and guidance for introducing players to the experience.
- During operation
Technical support and troubleshooting, with local service responsibilities and escalation arrangements agreed for your market.
Support delivery, training format, software and app availability, warranty, spare parts and response times are defined in the agreed package. They are not blanket commitments across every market.
Who we want to work with
- Distributors who understand their local entertainment market

What we plan together

Does a partnership include territorial exclusivity?
Territory coverage and any exclusivity are agreed individually. They are not automatic. Pricing, content rights and service responsibilities are confirmed in the distribution agreement.
What support is included?
We define the installation, calibration, operator training and technical support package with you. Confirm delivery methods, local responsibilities, warranty, parts and response arrangements before committing to a rollout.
Can the package suit different venue types?
Bring your intended venue formats, available space and operating requirements. We review the hardware configuration, content availability and support needs with you.
