Description

Tyffonium operates two location-based VR venues in Tokyo (Odaiba and Shinjuku) with a portfolio of free-roam story-driven attractions. The lineup includes horror titles (IT Chapter Two: Carnival Game, Corridor), family fantasy (Floria), exploration (Fractus), and interactive concepts (Tarot VR, Kaiju no Sumika VR). Sessions run 20–30 minutes including onboarding. Most experiences handle 4 players per session; Floria supports up to 8.

The attractions run on PCVR in 10×10-meter spaces. Age restrictions vary: 7+ for family titles, 13+ for horror. Pricing starts at ¥2,300 per guest. The venues are themed environments with atmospheric sound design and interactive mechanics. Replay value comes from branching narratives and multiple story routes.

For operators evaluating story-driven VR portfolios, Tyffonium demonstrates how a curated multi-title approach can serve different audience segments — families, teens, horror fans — in a single footprint. The model balances group throughput with session length that justifies the trip. A 20–30 minute experience is long enough to feel substantial but short enough to turn sessions throughout the day. The horror titles draw the core VR arcade audience; the fantasy content opens the venue to younger visitors and families.

Tyffonium graduated from the Disney/Techstars incubator and has been operating its Tokyo venues since the late 2010s. The IT Chapter Two experience recreates scenes from the film’s funhouse sequence. The brand’s theming extends beyond the headset — the Odaiba venue (DiverCity Tokyo Plaza 5F) and Shinjuku location (Keio Plaza Hotel 2F) are designed as immersive environments before guests enter VR.
