Great fun! Free roam rooms are all we've tried because they are so good. No motion sickness when your ears and eyes are getting the same message.

Fantastic place. Worth every penner. We did 4 games in the hour and we really loved it. Matthew was a great host. Would recommend!

This hidden gem near the Tesco express in town has a fantastic array of games and escape rooms for all ages and lovers of VR from free roam games to stationary adventures and puzzles. Need a birthday party that's a bit different these guys can sort you out something unique and break the mould of a 'standard' birthday. There's even a stair lift for those that need it and a chill out area to recharge.

Just took my son and his friend for a VR experience as a surprise after school for his 8th birthday. I can't recommend enough - the communication from Matthew was so good. He was fab with the boys, helping them choose a selection of games. They loved it so much I paid for an extra half an hr for them! Definitely coming back as would be ideal for a family experience or date night. They also offer birthday parties so I'm pretty sure we will be coming back for his 9th birthday!
