What ARVI VR does

ARVI VR (legal entity ARVI VR INC, dba VR Laboratory) is a private B2B virtual reality content developer and platform operator founded in 2016, headquartered in Wilmington, USA, with R&D operations in Ukraine and Slovakia. The company serves the Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) VR market by developing and licensing multiplayer VR games and escape rooms to commercial VR arcades, escape room operators, and entertainment centers worldwide. Its content library comprises 22+ in-house developed AAA room-scale titles spanning Escape Room, Adventure, Action, Arcade, Shooter, Horror, Puzzle, and Sci-Fi genres, all built on Unity and SteamVR for 2.5x2.5 meter per-player play areas.

The company's technology stack centers on the proprietary VRP 2.0 distribution platform, supplemented by presence on Viveport and Oculus storefronts, plus a third-party content marketplace. Notable proprietary technical capabilities include VR sickness mitigation techniques (FPS animation optimization, visual pattern management, cockpit/static reference frames) and mixed reality video capture from Unity/SteamVR environments. The company produces a steady cadence of new titles, with recent franchises including the sequential Dream Hackers series (Prologue, Chapters 1-3) and multi-world Escape the Worlds.

ARVI VR operates a dual revenue model combining B2B game licensing royalties with marketplace commission on third-party content distribution. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts to venue operators, with deals supported by dedicated account managers, 24/7 technical support, and partner marketing resources including loyalty cards, game master cards, and promotional video assets. Named channel partners include Virtropolis, Escape Adventures Frankfurt, EXIT Live Adventures Dortmund, and Omnidome Inc, with aggregate partner network playtime estimated at approximately 750,000 hours per year.
