FAQ
One of the key differences of the ANVIO franchise is its flexible partnership model. We do not charge an upfront franchise fee for using the Anvio brand. Instead, the partner chooses a suitable commercial model:
This approach helps lower the entry barrier and reduce the burden during the launch of your VR arena.
We are also distinguished by a wide range of gaming content. Competitive (PvP) and cooperative (PvE) scenarios, including story-driven quests. Based on partner experience, this format shows especially high demand among groups of friends, families, and group visits.
The library includes various genres: horror, science fiction, fantasy, and action. This allows you to work with different audiences and select content to match the venue format.
Another important advantage is the choice of cooperation model. If you want to launch under the Anvio brand, the franchise is suitable. If it is important for you to keep your own brand and add Anvio games to an existing business, a license is suitable.
- annual subscription
- per-player payment
- 10% royalty on revenue

If you are planning to launch a VR arena, it is most convenient to calculate investments in three blocks:
1. Equipment
Each gaming zone requires a separate set: VR headsets, a computer, and a Wi-Fi router.
The base cost of equipment for one VR arena starts at approximately 5 000 USD. In the financial model, this can be used as a starting reference, and then refined based on the size of the gaming zone and game format.
2. Software and commercial model
Anvio offers three payment options:
To receive a ready-made financial model and a manager consultation, fill out the request form.
3. Facility preparation and launch
Preparation costs depend on the premises and the requirements of the specific location.
As a reference, launching a 10×10 m VR arena with a lounge area, including renovation, equipment, rent deposit, marketing, and software subscription, is about 40 000 USD.
The final amount depends on the region and VR arena configuration.
Summary
The total budget consists of three blocks: equipment, software model, and location preparation. For one standard VR arena, a realistic entry point starts from 40 000 USD.

Before launching, it is important to understand how the content works in your format. For this, Anvio offers three testing options.
1. Test at an existing partner location
You fill out a request form, and our manager helps select the nearest Anvio location for a free test session.
2. Free versions on Steam
Free versions of City Z and Dragon VR are available for independent you to try out. They are designed for a single player but allow you to evaluate the content, visuals, and overall gameplay experience.
3. Remote test at your location
Upon request, we can provide the full version of the game and setup instructions or connect a technical team for remote assistance. After installation, you receive a one week trial period to test the solution at your venue.

No, we do not sell equipment.
We provide a list of required equipment for each VR arena, as well as materials to help you quickly select and purchase the necessary items. This allows you to independently choose suppliers and build a configuration that fits your budget and venue format.

For one 10×10 m VR arena, the average monthly revenue is approximately from 20 000 USD, and the average payback period is from 10 months.
These indicators depend on visitor flow, pricing policy, operating hours, and local market specifics. Therefore, it is better to rely not on general estimates but on a personalized financial model.

Equipment cost depends not only on the area but also on how the gameplay scenario is structured.
In the 5×5 m format, different games are often run simultaneously for multiple players in a VR arena. In such a configuration, up to 5 computers may be required, including one server.
In the 10×10 m format, one shared team game is usually used for the entire group, so only one server computer is required in a standard setup.
Therefore, when choosing a format, it is important to compare not only the area but also gameplay capabilities, as they determine computer requirements and the total equipment budget.
