Took my current girlfriend on our first date here and it was amazing! The zombie game was exactly what we wanted however the controllers did end up bugging out on me. But other than that, it was an amazing experience and the staff was amazing. Super efficient and kind.

This virtual reality game was an absolute blast and felt incredibly realistic — you genuinely feel like you’re inside the game. The best part is that you have to play with friends, which makes the experience so much more fun and interactive. Working together, communicating, and reacting in real time makes it exciting, intense, and nonstop entertaining. It’s immersive, fast-paced, and something you really can’t experience alone. Such a unique and unforgettable group experience, i highly recommend!

Been here many times with friends and with family. This place is so much fun. The team members are fantastic, extremely nice, calm, and knowledgeable about the process and the tech. The place feels like a video gamer's dream for VR experiences. Looks nice, feels nice, people are nice, games are so much fun and intuitive. They make their own games, which means a few things: They know how everything works, the games are unique and fun, and they feel AMAZINGLY immersive. 10/10 would come back soon.

Absolutely amazing fun experience with friends. Although its not exactly long it's definitely a great place to celebrate with friends and play VR games together. The experience makes you feel a bit detached afterwards which is kinda cool. The waiting area is clean and nice. Game area has lockers and planet of space and staff is reliable, communicative, and nice.

First time here, and wow, it definitely won’t be my last! We played the puzzles/alien game and it was absolutely amazing. The place was super clean, cool, and welcoming, with drinks available for purchase. Both bathrooms were spotless, and there’s even a water fountain which was a nice touch. Silmi was our host and she was fantastic, so helpful, polite, and really knowledgeable about all the other games they offer. I can’t wait to come back with my teen son and his friends… I just know they’re going to love it as much as I did!
