RezBlue VR Arena

Where Virtual Reality Meets the Heart of Des Moines

RezBlue VR Arena is located in Des Moines, Iowa, serving as a dedicated hub for immersive, location-based virtual reality entertainment. It stands apart from typical VR arcades by offering a full-scale arena experience where groups can battle, explore, and compete together in real time. The venue has earned a loyal following among locals and visitors alike, consistently receiving glowing reviews for its welcoming atmosphere and cutting-edge technology.

Tactical Battles and Immersive Adventures

The core of RezBlue’s offering is its multiplayer VR Laser Tag — a competitive, first-person shooter experience that transforms the arena into a digital battlefield where up to eight players can face off simultaneously in a single play area. Unlike traditional laser tag, this is a fully untethered, room-scale VR experience that lets players dodge, duck, and strategize in a virtual world while moving freely in the physical space. Beyond laser tag, the arena features VR Escape Rooms that challenge groups to solve puzzles and uncover clues in fantastical settings — from outer space to the ocean floor. The VR Arcade and VR Adventure categories round out the experience with a library of single-player and cooperative titles suitable for all ages and skill levels.

An Arena Built for Action and Exploration

The play areas at RezBlue are designed with safety and immersion in mind. The floors are covered with safety foam padding, allowing players to jump, crouch, and move dynamically without worry. Each play area accommodates up to six players for most experiences, and up to eight for VR Laser Tag. The venue operates up to 20 VR headsets simultaneously, meaning larger groups can rotate through multiple game categories — for example, half the group can dive into a VR Escape Room while the other half engages in a laser tag battle. Big screens outside the play areas let spectators watch the action unfold in real time, making the experience just as entertaining for those waiting their turn.

Tailored Experiences for Every Occasion

RezBlue VR Arena is a natural fit for birthday parties, corporate team-building events, family gatherings, bachelor parties, graduations, and fundraising events. The party packages are thoughtfully structured: each includes a private party area, a dedicated play area, and 90 minutes of game time followed by 30 minutes for food and celebration. Groups can rotate players so that more people get a chance to play within the same session. For corporate clients and larger groups, the venue offers half-day and full-day rental options, as well as a catering menu upon request. The space also doubles as a LAN center for video game parties on PCs and consoles.

A Team That Makes the Experience Shine

Reviews consistently highlight the staff at RezBlue as friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful — especially with first-time VR users and younger players. The team takes the time to explain how the equipment works, guide players through their chosen experiences, and ensure everyone feels comfortable stepping into the virtual world. Whether it is a group of seasoned gamers or a family trying VR for the first time, the staff’s attentiveness and enthusiasm create a welcoming environment that keeps guests coming back.

More Than Just Gaming — A Place to Gather and Celebrate

Beyond the play areas, RezBlue offers dedicated party spaces where guests can relax, enjoy food, and celebrate together. Visitors are welcome to bring their own cake, cupcakes, and ice cream at no extra charge, and decorations are encouraged. The venue also sells hot fresh-baked pizzas, soft drinks, energy drinks, snacks, and ice cream treats. For those who prefer to bring their own food, a small fee applies. The atmosphere is designed to feel less like a commercial arcade and more like a community gathering spot — a place where friends and families can share an unforgettable experience both inside and outside the virtual world.
