Software suite for VR arenas & LBE venues

Run the venue.
Not the tech.

XRcade takes care of the headsets, the matches, the big screens and the live stream, so your operators can do what actually makes a visit memorable: look after the guests.

  • Quest & Pico both supported
  • Multilingual 10+ languages, per screen
  • Local-first runs on your own hall PC

The experience

Everybody ready for action?!

This is what a session looks like from the floor: the lobby fills up, the match runs, and the scoreboard settles it. Your guests see all of it on the big screen.

LIVE · venue broadcast real footage

Frictionless for players

Sign up, get a briefing on the big screen, put on a headset that is already in the right team, play, and see your name on the scoreboard. No fiddling, no waiting.

Effortless for operators

One press prepares a whole match. A phone remote covers everything that happens during an evening. The full dashboard is there the moment you need to take over.

Unmistakably your venue

Your logo, your colours, your language, your own briefing decks on your own screens. XRcade stays in the background; your brand is what guests remember.

The platform

On-site control. Cloud reach. One flow.

XRcade is two parts that work as one. The Hall Manager is the control room of your arena: it runs on a PC in your venue and controls everything in the room. The XRcade Cloud is everything else, and what brings it all together: players, bookings, results and branding across every venue and every hall you run.

XRcade Cloud

Player registration and the joining of events and play slots, QR and kiosk sign-up at the door, personal scoring and player engagement. All under your personal brand.

XRcade Hall Manager

The control room of your arena. Runs locally on a Windows PC, talks to your headsets, the game, OBS and your TVs over your own network.

Two ways to operate

A remote that makes it easy. A dashboard for diving deep.

Most nights, your operator only needs the remote. When something needs a closer look, the full dashboard is one tap away: same hall, same state, no hand-over.

The Remote

Simple by design

Scan a QR code and any phone or tablet becomes the control for the night. Seven thumb-sized sections cover everything that changes during a session.

  • Switch what every venue screen shows
  • Drive the briefing deck: next, back, jump to a chapter, pause the video
  • Start, pause and extend the session clock
  • Launch a scheduled match and start it
  • Check batteries, reboot or power off a headset
  • Built for an operator

The Dashboard

Full control

Every part of your hall as a card you can reorder, hide or fold away. Operator mode for daily use, PIN-protected admin mode for the things that shouldn't change by accident.

  • Live fleet table with battery, controllers, volume and streams
  • Lobby, teams, bots, rules and live scoreboard
  • Schedule, players, squads and rankings
  • Screens and live-stream scene control
  • Built-in manual with an "ask a question" box

Features

Everything a session needs, in one place

The short version is on each line. Open any feature for the detail.

Headset fleet managementEvery Quest and Pico in one live table

One row per headset: label and colour tag, status, headset battery, both controller batteries, volume and stream. You see at a glance which headset is ready to hand out, and which one should go on the charger.

  • Per headset: reboot, power off, launch or restart the game, start the stream, pause the Guardian boundary, charging state and temperature
  • For the whole fleet: launch the game everywhere, reboot all, power off all, start all streams. Each asks first and tells you how many headsets it will touch
  • Automatic policies: reset volume to your level, start streams on connect, keep wireless control alive, pause the boundary when a game starts
  • Battery alarms you can see and hear, with separate thresholds for headsets and controllers
  • Mark spares as "never auto-assign" so they stay on the shelf

Headset preparation & kiosk modeFrom unboxed to arena-ready with a wizard

Adding a headset is scan, click, done: plug it in and the Hall Manager finds it. For Pico headsets a Prepare headset wizard installs the XRcade Agent, makes wireless control survive reboots, keeps the headset awake and can put it in kiosk mode, so it boots straight into the game and guests can't wander off into menus. Every step reports what it did, and one click undoes it. Step-by-step guides for both Quest and Pico are built into the manual.

One-press match launchMap, mode, rules, teams and bots, all prepared for you

Pick a scheduled match and press launch. XRcade walks the game through every step: open the map, wait for the lobby, set the game mode, apply the rules, place players in their teams on their headsets, add the bots. It ends at Ready to start. The operator only presses Start when the group is ready.

  • Pre-flight check: the Start button turns red and tells you exactly what's off: a player without a headset, a headset not in the lobby, a rule that drifted
  • Smart lobby: automatic headset assignment, team assignment, team balancing and "keep friends together", each with a manual override
  • Spectators can watch from inside a headset instead of playing
  • Auto-restart series: play best-of rounds back to back with a running series score
Presets & rule templatesDefine it once, reuse it every night

Save complete rule sets (game mode, score limits, timers, weapons) as named templates with a type: Friendly, Tournament or Ranked. Lock a template and nobody can quietly change the rules of a competitive match. While a prepared match waits, XRcade keeps comparing the game's real settings with the template and flags any drift: relaxed for a friendly, strict for a ranked game.

Your hall also keeps its own map catalogue with supported modes, recommended modes and the minimum play area for each map.

Bots & in-game contentFill a team, raise the stakes, tune the experience

Small group? Add bots per team and choose from twelve bot types, from easy guards to rocketeers. XRcade keeps the number you asked for and the number actually in the game in sync. Combined with maps, modes and rule templates, you shape the difficulty and the mood of every session. A kids' party and a company tournament don't have to feel the same.

Session clockThe booked hour, managed honestly

A group can also book time instead of matches. The session clock tracks it: start, pause, resume, add five minutes because the briefing ran long. Optionally start it with the first match, only count down while people are actually playing, and end the match gracefully when the time is up. It's visible on the dashboard, the remote and the venue screens.

Venue screensLobby, live match, results, schedule and rankings on your TVs

Each screen is simply a web address: open it on a smart TV, mini PC or signage player, scan the QR code and you're done. Drive up to three venue screens independently, plus one for the stream.

  • Five views: Schedule, Game (lobby → match → result), Scoreboard, Rankings and Decks
  • Results return to the lobby automatically after a countdown
  • Per screen: its own theme (Futuristic, Retro or Office), its own language and its own default view
  • Scales to any display size

Decks: briefings & onboardingExplain the game the same great way, every time

A deck is a presentation that plays full-screen on a venue TV: the player briefing, the safety talk, the "how to hold your controllers" video, or an attract loop for the foyer. Your operator drives it from the remote (next, back, jump straight to a chapter, pause the embedded video) while keeping eye contact with the group.

  • Use ours or bring your own. We provide ready-made decks; you can replace them with decks in your own fonts, colours, logo and video
  • Multi-language: a deck follows the language of the screen it plays on
  • Different decks on different screens at the same time
  • An authoring guide is included, so your designer or agency can build a deck that just works
Live stream & OBS controlA broadcast-quality show without a director

Every headset's view streams to the hall PC, where XRcade drives OBS for you: player cams, team cams, overview grids, your own venue cameras and the hall views, framed by overlays with names, live scores, map, mode and clock.

  • Automatic directing: cut to the players when a match starts, loop through the scenes, return to your default scene when it ends
  • Layouts for 4, 6, 8 and 10 players that adapt to who is actually playing
  • Drag-and-drop which headset appears in which tile
  • A complete OBS scene collection comes with the installer
  • Show it on the wall, stream it to your channel, or both

Players & squadsFrom walk-in to regular

Players who signed up online appear in your hall automatically. Walk-ins are added in seconds: "add player and add to match" does it in one step. Group friends into squads and XRcade keeps them on the same team.

  • Drag-and-drop squads, preferred headsets, live match status per player
  • Import a player list from a file for a company event
  • End-of-day clean-up that archives first, with restore
  • Only names and group sizes come down to the hall; contact details stay in the cloud

Schedule & tournamentsPlan the day, launch with one press

A five-step wizard plans a match: game, time and map, mode and rule template, players and bots, review. Matches can be timed or simply "planned". For tournament and ranked matches, lock the rules and the line-up so nothing changes between planning and playing.

  • Cloud bookings show up with sign-ups versus capacity: Play now or Add to schedule with a balanced line-up pre-filled
  • Full result per match: winner, team scores, per-player scores and how the match ended
  • Replay: run the same match again with one click
Rankings & scoreboardsGive people a reason to come back

Every finished match is recorded: who played, on which side, kills, deaths, assists and objectives. Boards are calculated from that history, so you can change the format or the period whenever you like without losing anything.

  • Three formats: Individual, Mixed, or Squad with real wins, draws and losses
  • Your period: a rolling "today" board or everything since a moment you choose
  • Impact score that stays fair across small and large lobbies
  • Void a game without deleting it; aborted and too-small games are set aside automatically
  • A rankings screen for your hall that rotates between player board, squad board and last game
  • Rolling out in the cloud: daily, weekly and monthly boards across sessions and venues
Branding & customisationMake it look like yours

Set your hall's name, tagline, logo and accent colour once; every venue screen and the stream pick them up. Choose a theme per screen. Bring your own decks. In the cloud, your public sign-up pages carry your logo, banner and colour on your own subdomain. On the dashboard, arrange cards in your order, hide what you don't use, switch to a dense layout or dark mode.

Speaks your languageFor your team and for your guests

English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, Norwegian, Turkish, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, ... The dashboard language and the language of each venue screen are independent: run the dashboard in your operator's language while the lobby screen greets tourists in theirs. The manual is translated too.

Operator & admin modesSafe hands for daily use

Operators get everything they need to run a session. Settings that shape your hall sit behind an admin PIN. Admin-only buttons stay visible but disabled, with a hint, so a new team member learns what exists without being able to break it.

Built for the real worldLocal control, cloud convenience

The Hall Manager runs on your own network and talks to your headsets, screens and the game directly, without a round trip to the cloud for every action. The Windows installer sets up the game integration and the OBS scenes for you, and detailed per-area logs mean that when you do need support, we can see what happened.

Built-in manual & "ask a question"Answers where the work happens

A complete, illustrated manual lives inside the app: first run, preparing Quest and Pico headsets, network set-up, every dashboard card, every setting, troubleshooting. Each card has a shortcut to its chapter. Not sure where to look? Type a question in your own words and XRcade points you to the right page.
