Population One VR
spelen in centrum van Haarlem

Population: One is the best-known battle royale in VR. You drop onto the map in a team of three, search for weapons and gear and try to be the last squad standing. What makes it special is the freedom of movement. You can climb any wall, glide from rooftops with your arms spread wide and build walls and ramps for cover in a second, so every fight takes place in three dimensions. At VRcafe Haarlem you and your friends form a squad in the same room and call out tactics to each other. Suitable from 12 years.

  • Battle royale as a squad

FAQ

  • Population One

    • What is Population: One?

      A battle royale in VR. Teams land on a large map, look for weapons and gear and fight until only one team is left.

    • How many players can play Population: One at VRcafe?

      With 1 to 3 players in one team, each in their own play area. If your group is bigger, you take turns or the rest play another game in the meantime.

    • How long does a match of Population: One take?

      A match takes about 8 minutes. So in one time slot you'll play several matches and can then choose something else.

    • From what age can you play Population: One?

      From age 12. It's a shooter in which you take out other teams with weapons.

    • Is Population: One difficult?

      The difficulty is medium. You have to combine climbing, flying, building and shooting. The host explains the controls before you start.

    • How do I play Population: One at VRcafe?

      You book a VR Experience and choose the game on the spot. The host starts Population: One and puts you together in one team.

    • Do we play Population: One with just our own group?

      No. You're together in one team, but you play online against other teams. So your opponents are players from outside your group.

    • How do you move in Population: One?

      You can climb up anything and jump off tall buildings. With your wingsuit you then glide over long distances, so you fight at height and in the air too.

    • What game modes does Population: One have?

      The standard mode is Squads, with teams of three. Other modes rotate alongside it, such as Team Deathmatch.

    • What kind of outing is Population: One good for?

      For a small group of friends aged 12 and over who like playing together against other teams. Three players fill exactly one team, and you protect each other with walls you build yourselves.

  • Booking

    • How do I book a VR Experience in Haarlem?

      Booking is easy via the Book button on our website. Choose your activity, select 60, 90 or 120 minutes, enter the number of players and pick a time slot. You’ll immediately see available times and receive a confirmation by email.

    • Which time slots are available and what time do you recommend?

      You can book daily within our opening hours. Available time slots are shown live in the booking system. Weekdays are usually quieter, ideal for smaller groups. Weekends and holidays are busier - book in advance. For groups or those wanting to try multiple games, we recommend 90 or 120 minutes.

    • How much does a booking cost and what is included?

      The price depends on duration (60/90/120 min) and timing (weekday/weekend). Included: short briefing, guidance from a host, use of VR headsets & controllers, hygiene covers, and the option to switch between multiple games. Not included (optional): food & drinks, private session, or some premium and escape titles with a small surcharge.

    • Can we come with more than 11 people?

      We have 11 play areas, so 11 people can play at the same time. If you come with more than 11, we rotate in rounds; the host manages teams and quick switches. Advice: 9–12 players → 90–120 min; 13+ → 120 min or two slots. Not every title supports 11 players; the host selects suitable games. For VR Racing: max 4 at once.

    • Can I change or cancel my booking?

      You can cancel or modify your booking via the website or by contacting us. Please note that cancellation fees may apply depending on how far in advance you cancel or change. You can also add cancellation insurance directly when booking.

    • How far in advance should I book to be sure of a spot?

      For small groups, a few days in advance is usually enough. For weekends, holidays or packages (such as kids parties or company outings), we recommend booking at least one week in advance.
