• Supply chain issues, tariffs, and warehouse limitations are creating additional challenges for operators attempting renovations
• Albatross is setting a new standard with their upcoming New Jersey venue featuring bowling, mini-golf, and attractions targeting the over-21 demographic
• Sandbox VR continues their expansion and is adding hospitality components to become a social entertainment destination
• VR is evolving from simple shooter games to story-driven adventures with higher throughput and better economics
• Illuminarium’s Chicago location closed after delivering a subpar temporary structure that received harsh reviews
• Immersive Gamebox continues licensing expensive IP despite this strategy contributing to their previous financial troubles
• Theme parks are increasingly incorporating gamification elements into attractions, but creating truly replayable experiences remains challenging
