Immersive Role-Playing Experience

Designed as a “living universe,” VR City offers an immersive role-playing experience that transcends conventional entertainment. Participants don’t just watch—they touch, feel, and remember through a fusion of virtual reality (VR), lighting effects, sound, and 5D holography. The highlight is “The Element Code 305,” a journey through space and time featuring vivid 360-degree visuals and a cinematic flair.

Ms. Abby Antonio, Founder of RSVP Vietnam, emphasized the project’s significance: “VR City is more than entertainment—it’s a new tourist destination for Vietnam, where domestic and international visitors can explore, play, and imagine without limits. With VR City, we’re not just elevating Vietnam’s entertainment industry but also showcasing to the world that this nation is ready to lead in creativity and immersive experiences.”

Mr. Jacky Ong, Co-Founder of DF Experiences, shared at the launch: “In an era of information overload and limited attention, we believe what truly resonates with people isn’t dry data, but experiences that immerse and leave a lasting impression. From this belief, VR CITY Immersive Experience was born: a bridge between reality and virtuality, art and technology, senses and emotions. Here, children play and explore, young adults socialize and check-in, creators find inspiration, and businesses host immersive brand events or conferences. It’s not just a space—it’s a platform for connection and resonance.”

The centerpiece is “The Element Code 305,” where players join Hao Thiên, a robotic dog, and Captain Minh Nguyệt on an adventure through ancient ruins, a Moon base, and mysterious outer space territories. The entire journey is brought to life with 360-degree visuals, delivering a cinematic experience.

A New Catalyst for Ho Chi Minh City Tourism

Mr. Nguyễn Việt Anh, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Tourism Association, remarked: “VR City brings a fresh breeze, a modern edutainment model. It’s a high-tech, healthy, and enriching playground for young people, igniting passion for science, technology, and creativity. It’s also an ideal destination for families, offering opportunities for generations to experience, connect, and engage with future trends together. Bringing cutting-edge virtual reality technology closer to the public aligns perfectly with Ho Chi Minh City’s vision of building a smart city and developing a digital economy.”

Ho Chi Minh City welcomed over 6.3 million international visitors in the first eight months of 2025, with an average daily spend of over $110. Adding VR City to its attractions will enhance the city’s competitiveness against regional hubs like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore, where entertainment technology is a key draw for tourists.
