Travel Point Group has reached an agreement with Perth Airport to roll out the first VR Gaming Point lounge concession at an airport and is due to open in May.
The Gaming Point unit will be located at the airport’s International Terminal 1, prior to customs and security screening, reports trbusiness.com.
This means it will be accessible to all domestic and international arriving or departing passengers in the T1/T2 airport precinct, as well as the general public.
The site will feature one virtual reality escape room, which can accommodate up to five players per 30-45 minute session.
Travellers can choose from eight separate games, with a Game Master –appointed by the Gaming Point team – assisting the playing groups.
It will also host a range of individual high-speed internet gaming stations linked to the Steam network, allowing gaming enthusiasts to continue their own gaming via individual accounts. Solo gaming options for newcomers are also available via the gaming lounge.
Rebecca Cook, acting chief commercial officer at Perth Airport said: “We are excited to offer our passengers increased entertainment options and look forward to partnering with Point Group as they deliver this new offer.”
