Tech merges with action, horror, and escape room fun at Megaverse™, a patented environment for immersive, 4D gaming. The world-first interactive virtual-reality (VR) theater recently opened in Atlanta, Georgia. You know how we like fun and games around here so the press release for this caught my eye.
Created by a new technology company, Exploring Digital, Megaverse™ combines VR headsets and hand controls with a multi-sensory haptic experience unlike anything on the market. With unlimited freedom to move, people physically interact in this VR theater, literally stepping into a metaverse environment.
It recently opened at Sky Zone Trampoline Park in Roswell, GA, with plans to expand to other locations, including Foley, Alabama, and Dallas, GA.
“Megaverse™ is a high-tech gaming experience that is thrilling our Sky Zone members and customers,” said Jeff Cole, owner and president of Sky Zone Roswell. “For less than $15, anyone can use state-of-the-art virtual reality headsets and interact with their friends in this totally unique environment.”
Let’s take a closer peek at what it’s all about.
How Megaverse™ Works
Up to six players interact with one another as they roam freely around the rumble floor, walking, jumping, even picking up and moving objects inside this metaverse-inspired VR theater. Players move from one virtual room to another, up and down virtual elevators, and can choose their challenge.
With custom content and an easy-to-configure layout, Megaverse™ truly is 4D, including touch, wind, and vibration in addition to the VR challenges. Megaverse™ uses HTC VIVE Focus 3 headsets and controllers for all-in-one VR with 5K resolution and easy input that delivers intuitive and precision controls.

Which experience would you choose?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
