We celebrated our son's birthday at the Vesna mall. All the children were delighted. The organisation is top notch — every detail is taken care of, which matters enormously to us parents. Clean, beautiful, pleasant instructors who help with any question. Anatoly is an especially customer-focused manager, from the phone conversation at the enquiry stage to the moments on site. In the lounge everything is thought through for a comfortable stay. They gave the birthday boy a whole bag of branded presents — he is thrilled. Many thanks to WARPOINT. All the guests were delighted. I am sure we will be back more than once.
Tatyana SlaukAugust 7, 2026
We always visit this place with great pleasure. We leave smiling, in a good mood, with plenty of positive emotions and the wish to come back. Vivid visuals, games for every taste. A wonderful place both for a party and for simple entertainment. I would like to note the work of the staff: the team is always involved in the game with great enthusiasm. A special big thank you to the manager Anatoly for his attentiveness, his sensitive attitude to every guest and his wish for everyone to leave happy. Thank you for the great photos

Brand
Brand growth
at the national level
Your location opens with a brand the audience already knows — it is promoted by the whole network, not by a single arena.
Marketing
Marketing that works for you
You do not need to build your own marketing department. The network prepares content, creatives and ad campaigns — your job is to work with the incoming flow of guests.
Savings of up to $3,100 a month That is what an in-house department of an SMM specialist, a designer, a media buyer and a marketer can cost. In the franchise this work is taken on by the WARPOINT team — you only pay the ad budget of your location.
Our own IT infrastructure
The arena under control in real time
Revenue, occupancy, bookings, average check and the team's work — the arena's key figures are always in front of you. Everything runs in WARPOINT's own ERP system.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
We have gathered what people ask most often
How much does it cost to open a WARPOINT franchise?
The ARENA format takes an investment from $60K (franchise fee from $17,000), the PARK format from $120K (fee from $31,000). Royalties in both formats are 7% from the 5th month of operation. We will prepare an exact projection for your city on request.
What does the franchise fee include?
Expert support (location scouting, design project, training, legal support), marketing capital (brand, advertising strategies, federal promotion), intellectual property (perpetual access to our own games, the ERP system, updates) and daily support on any question.
How fast will the investment pay off?
Payback on investment is from 10 months (ARENA) and from 14 months (PARK), operational payback is 40–70 days. Profitability of active locations is 25–40%, and average arena revenue in 2025 was $13K per month. The figures are confirmed by fiscal data.
How long does it take to open a location?
The launch follows a proven 10-week schedule: legal start, premises search, design project, fit-out with team hiring, and the grand opening. The ARENA format opens in 1–2 months, PARK in 2–3.
Do I need business experience?
No — 60% of our franchisees opened a WARPOINT with zero experience. We run in-person owner training in Yekaterinburg, a mandatory internship at operating locations, and give access to an online academy with 100+ lessons for staff.
What premises are required?
From 150 to 1000 m² depending on the format, ceilings 3–10 m, capacity 6–10 kW, internet from 30 Mbps, no direct sunlight. The best options are malls, business centers, residential districts and resort areas. We will help you find the space and assess it before you sign the lease.
How do I choose a city for the launch?
We look at population size and density, competitors and location traffic, and at the network's operating arenas nearby. You can assess the potential of countries and cities yourself on the WARPOINT MAP — it is built from the network's real figures.
What support comes after opening?
The partner stays in touch with the management company: daily support on operational matters, an ERP system for running the arena, game updates, an online academy for new employees, and participation in the network's esports ecosystem.
Who handles marketing and advertising?
We hand over proven ad setups, contractors and branded materials, regularly supply short videos for social media, and launch and run contextual and targeted advertising. Plus federal brand promotion across the whole network.
How does the franchise differ from the subscription?
The franchise is a turnkey business under the WARPOINT brand with full support, an ERP system, marketing and the esports ecosystem. The subscription is a lighter format: access to the games under your own brand with no franchise fee or royalties, with investment from $6,200.
