Disney-Backed VR Company Tyffon to Open ‘Free Roam’ VR Room in LA Later This Year
The Disney-backed virtual reality company Tyffon is set to open its first “free roam” VR venue in Los Angeles later this year after a new round of funding, the company announced Monday.
Tyffon has already developed three immersive experiences for their Tyffonium rooms, a VR arcade that combines VR technology and multi-sensory effects, including horror walk-through attraction “Corridor.” Looking forward, Tyffon plans to work closely with entertainment companies to bring branded IP into the VR world.

The Santa Monica-based company was born out of the Disney Accelerator program in 2014, where now-thriving tech startups like Atom Tickets and Epic Games have used Disney’s resources and relationships to build its portfolio. Tyffon began by building mobile gaming apps like ZombieBooth, which Tyffon says has reached 5o million downloads worldwide.
