THE VOID

644 N 2000 W, Lindon, Utah, 84042, United States

Overview

The Void operates retail VR playgrounds in spaces such as Downtown Disney and shopping malls, combining bespoke physical sets and sensory effects with head‑mounted VR to align what players see and feel. Its experiences include licensed properties like Star Wars, Ghostbusters and Wreck‑It Ralph as well as original IP (e.g., Nicodemus). Sessions run roughly thirty minutes (including pre‑show and suiting) and are priced at about $30–$35 per person. The company has roughly 16+ locations and is in the middle of a major expansion, more than doubling locations via a deal to open 25 new spots with Unibail‑Rodamco‑Westfield. The Void reportedly raised about $20 million earlier this year and previously received investment and support from Disney as part of the 2017 Disney Accelerator. Future plans described by leadership include advancing hardware (lighter rigs, body tracking), exploring longer and more non‑linear experiences, and filling and scaling newly opened locations.
