FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Need more information? Here’s what we’re asked the most.
What equipment is needed?
To play NHL Sense Arena, you’ll need a Meta Quest headset and controllers. While we offer optional accessories that can attach to a hockey stick or a goalie blocker and glove for a more immersive experience, they are not essential to play. The Meta Quest headset and controllers are all you need. If you don’t already have a Meta Quest headset, you can purchase one during checkout on our website.
How much space is required to play?
We recommend a minimum space of 2x2 m when using the Meta Quest headset and controllers. If you're using the stick mount to attach a hockey stick for a more realistic experience, we suggest a larger space of around 3.5x3.5 m to ensure the stick doesn't hit anything during gameplay.
Is a subscription required to use NHL Sense Arena?
Yes, a subscription is required to access NHL Sense Arena. We offer both monthly and annual plans. As part of the subscription, we continuously add new training plans, content, modes, and features, so there's always something new and fun to help you practice hockey in VR.
Can multiplayer users play?
Yes! You can create up to 4 profiles per account, making it easy for multiple users in the same household to enjoy NHL Sense Arena. We also offer a multiplayer mode where you can play with up to 20 people, making the experience even more interactive and competitive.
Why train in virtual reality?
Virtual reality offers one of the most effective ways to replicate the on-ice experience at home. With NHL Sense Arena, you can develop crucial skills like situational awareness, decision-making, reaction speed, and overall hockey sense in a fully immersive environment. It’s a unique training tool that allows you to simulate real game scenarios, helping you sharpen your skills and instincts in ways that aren’t possible with traditional at-home training methods.
