Corporate Events/Parties
There are more than 100 games and experiences at our Virtual Reality facility. You can check it out here, https://rezbluearena.com/virtual-reality-game/
For corporate events/parties, Escape Rooms, Adventure, and Laser Tag are the most popular options.
Escape Room experiences will be best if you would like changes and solving puzzles as a team. Our escape rooms are not like any others. All the rooms come with a different story, and different set of puzzles, well incorporating many amazing factors that you can only experience in virtual reality.
Adventures and Laser Tag games offer shorter experiences. You will have the opportunity to rotate and experience various activities during your game session, such as zombie survival, tower defense, cooking, laser tag, and robot shooting. If you prefer action-packed and brief experiences that allow your group to take turns playing and have short breaks for chatting in between, Laser Tag or adventure would be the better options.
Game durations vary from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the game option your group chooses to play. Escape rooms typically last between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how quickly your group can escape. Games such as laser tag, adventure, zombie survival, and others can be around 10-20 minutes long.
At the moment, RezBlue Arena is the largest VR facility here in Iowa. We can have up to 20 VR headsets running at once.
The number of headsets you book for your group will depend on the number of people attending the party. You don’t need to book one headset per person if you plan to take turns experiencing the activities.
Every member of your group will have a great time, whether they are participating in the experiences or watching from the outside. We have monitors set up for spectators. Your group will enjoy lots of fun and laughter just by observing the experience from the outside.

Escape Room
It is a whole new level of Escape Room. With Virtual Reality technology, the experience won’t be limited by the physical rooms and physical objects. You’ll experience things that you normally can’t in the regular escape room, such as casting spells, fighting dragons, or sinking under the oceans with sharks around. Click here for more detail about the VR Escape Rooms.
All of our Virtual Reality Escape Room Experiences will require a minimum of 2 players to get started. And the experience can have up to 6 people playing together. For groups that have more than 6 players, multiple VR Escape Rooms can run at the same time. For large groups, please click here to inform us.
They’re for sure different due to the creative approach that makes you think beyond the regular Escape Room Experiences. E.g solving the puzzle upside down 🙂 However, it’s designed to be solved and have fun at the same time so you don’t have to worry much. The more people you have, the higher the chance of escaping.
We never had a single group that can’t solve anything. The experiences are designed with clues that help you escape. In the end, it’s not only about escaping the room, but also the fun that you have with others as well as experiencing the escape room on a whole new level.
No, there isn’t an age requirement. However, we require one adult to be in the room with kids that are under 12 years old. That one adult will receive a 10% discount when checking out.

Parties & Events
Sure! You can check out our Parties & Events page for more details.
Play Packages don’t come with party time and party room for your group. The Party packages give you 0.5 hours at the end to have the party activities, like cutting cakes, eating pizzas, or opening presents.
In the Play Package, we charge based on the number of game headsets and the amount of time that your party is going to play. E.g. if you are going to use 8 game headsets for 8 people, playing for 1 hour, that is equivalent to the 8-hour, Bronze Package – Play Package ($219). The same package can also be used for 4 people playing for 2 hours straight or 1 hour in 2 different visits. Check out our packages here.
The number of game headsets is basically the number of people that can play the game at the same time. Most of the time, the parties book the number of gaming headsets based on the number of participants. For example, if you have 8 participants, you book 8 gaming headsets (Silver package). However, you can have 10 participants while booking just 8 gaming headsets. That means that you pay for 8 gaming headsets and have 8 people playing the game at a time. The participants can take turns playing the game.
Party packages come with 1.5 hrs of playtime + 0.5 hrs of party time. If you would like to book 10+ game stations, $20 per game station will be added toward the Diamond Package.
If you book a minimum of 12 headsets, that is considered a private party. We are not going to take any walk-ins or bookings while you’re group is here to make sure that we provide you with a great experience.
The number of guests should not exceed the number of game stations that your party/event reserved. E.g. if you book 6 game headsets, you can bring up to 6 guests while having the 6 players playing.
If you book a minimum of 12 game headsets, all other headsets are closed for your private party/event. You are welcome to bring as many guests as you would like.
Yes, outside food and drink, including alcohol (BYOB), are welcome. Just please make sure to have everyone at the party fill in our liability waiver form. RezBlue Arena currently offers snacks and soft drinks. However, you’re not required to purchase from us.
Yes. For more than 2 hrs, $10/game headset/0.5 hours OR $15/game headset/1 hour will be added to the the package package (12 game stations). You will have these options when making a booking here.

After that, all you need to figure out is the game activities that you would like to book for the group. For game recommendations, please fill in the inquiry to speak with our staff members.
