Travel Tips
- Eyewear restriction: Heavy motion-capture vests and headgear are used. Oversized or thick-rimmed glasses do not fit inside the VR headset. Wear contact lenses.
- Strict lateness docking: Parties must check in 15 minutes early. Because group slots are fully automated, late arrivals result in direct deduction of gameplay time.
- Apparel constraint: Active tactical movements like dodging and crouching are expected. Wear athletic flat shoes and pants; skirts and sandals are forbidden.
