Dizziness
Our hardware and games are designed in such a way that it avoids dizziness and other unpleasant feelings that VR can cause in some cases. Untill now no one had had real problems caused by playing in de VR Arcade. However: if for some reason you are worried about it, or don't feel good, our personnel is trained to help you!

If you approach an actual wall, the game gives you a clear warning. As long as you follow the game's instructions, you will not have to take of the VR-goggles during the game and you won't walk into a wall.

Regular (online) bookings
If it is not possible to attend to the existing booking, a voucher can be requested for 100% of the purchase value. This can be done before the booking via the link from the confirmation email, but also via customer service. For this, an email can be sent to info@lightningvr.com.
Group arrangement (quotations/invoices)
Quotations must be accepted 7 days in advance, during which the total number of players is also definitively determined. This quantity is also billed. If there are fewer players during the booking than stated on the offer, the slots may be played, which means that some can play 2x. If this is not used, no compensation will be made.
This sounds harsh, but we reserve the time slots and schedule our staff early to give everyone a great VR experience. We do adjust the actual number of players on the invoice for drink packages.

You must be able to walk around during the entire game with a backpack on your back, VR glasses on your head and being able to use both hands. For this reason, our experience is (currently and unfortunately) not wheelchair friendly.
We do not recommend the game for pregnant women and people with severe heart condition or epilepsy. Do you have another condition and do you want to be sure that it does not cause any problems while playing? Then contact us via info@lightningvr.com.
Note: players under the clear influence of alcohol and / or drugs can be refused without the right to a refund.

This rarely happens because children naturally move around the space. Should this happen, we check the calibration of the VR headset. If this does not help, the child may not tolerate VR well. We give this child extra tokens for our non-VR games.

Our games are designed so that the chances of children bumping into each other are very small. They can see each other in-game and every real pillar in the space is also included in the game. We always advise children to respect walls in the game.

We can give a non-binding demo to alleviate fear. If this does not work, we will proceed with one person less. A child does not have to do anything they do not want to do, and the rest of the group will still have an unforgettable experience.
