Common questions

Free-roam VR puts the group inside a shared virtual space and lets them walk through it — no controllers tethered to a console, no standing in one spot. Sessions run short by design, usually thirty minutes to an hour, and the format suits groups that want something indoors and weather-proof. More about VR.

Where should I start?

3 venues to choose from. Two questions cut that in half in about a minute: how many people are coming, and does the group want a roof over their heads. Everything else — price, rating, amenities — is already on the cards, so you can compare without opening ten tabs. More opens the full listing with the address and phone number.

What are the prices here?

Cheapest on the list is The Illusion Selfie Studio & VRcade at $6 per person. Expect the real total to land higher: paint, extra rounds, upgraded gear and party add-ons are priced separately at most places. The upside is that per-person rates drop sharply with group size, so a party of twelve often pays less each than a party of four.

Is this indoors?

Indoors only . Rain, heat and daylight hours stop being part of the planning, and the game itself is closer-quarters and faster than an outdoor field.

What is there for a childrens party?

Most places here are set up for it — 3 venues have at least one of the party pieces: Party Room — 3 venues, Birthday Packages — 2, Party Host — 1. The thing to confirm is the room, not the game: a venue with a dedicated party room runs birthdays on a schedule, with a slot for cake and presents, while one without it means eating in the lobby. Ask about the minimum number of kids and whether you can bring your own food.

Is there anywhere to eat?

3 of the venues here have food or a place to sit: Lounge Area — 3 venues, Bar — 1, Soft Drinks — 1. For a party that matters as much as the game — the game takes an hour, the rest of the afternoon happens around a table.

What else is on site?

3 of these venues have other attractions on site: Escape Rooms — 3 venues, Bowling — 2, Go-Karts — 1. Useful when the group is mixed — not everyone wants to play the full session, and a place with somewhere else to be handles that better.

Are there changing rooms?

On-site facilities at 3 of the venues: On-Site Referees — 3 venues, Changing Rooms — 1, Gear Rental — 1. Small things, but they decide how the hour after the game goes. Each card carries the same icons, so you can scan the list without opening anything.
