Octane Raceway’s Virtual Reality Arena
The Scottsdale kart-racing facility recently opened Velocity VR, the fourth virtual reality arena in the United States and the first free-roam virtual gaming arena in the western U.S. Its debut game, Zombie Survival, puts teams of six in a virtual reality where zombies run amok and the remaining humans (the players) must band together to keep the peace and fight the undead. The total mission is 45 minutes long, with a 15-minute briefing and two 15-minute games, for $40 per person. Octane recommends the game only for players age 13 or older, since the experience is lifelike and can be intense. Parental supervision is also recommended. Get your team together, strap on a backpack, choose a weapon, and grab VR headphones and goggles to live out your own episode of The Walking Dead in the safety of an indoor arena.
