How does SpongeBob compare to other VR and arcade games you operate? 

“I studied the other VR games extensively with my two test subjects (my 8 and 13 year old sons). We tried them all, and SpongeBob is not only the best IP for our demographic (FEC/Trampoline), but the interaction the game provides is what makes it fun. It’s not just a ride like Rabbids, or violent like Kong. The boys have an Oculus at home, so they told me they can play Beat Saber at any time, but not SpongeBob.”

“This unit dynamically changed our arcade, and we’ve even incorporated it into our party packages. In fact, last weekend, my 8 year old was dressed in an inflatable SpongeBob costume (left over from Halloween) and walked around randomly handing out game cards and taking pictures throughout the park.” -Ed Golebiowski, Owner, Roller Skating Association Board Member
