“The Middle East is a new international market for The Park Playground," said Painter. "We will be bringing our company concept of premium immersive VR experiences and our VR turnkey solution, that we have established in Europe."
He added: "We will demonstrate our fully mobile immersive experiences in a seven by seven metre VR free-roam field for visitors at the show. These experiences include our latest location-based entertainment VR escape room, The Break-in, launched in October last year, and other experiences, such as Don't Scream, Mask of the Pharaoh, Mission Planet X and The Plank."

"There is an appetite to embrace the future and engage with exciting new technology within the region. The Park Playground's system solution can supply custom-built systems to fit these needs."
