Excellent fun all round! I took the kids here for something different to do and we all had a great couple hours being immersed in high quality VR, something I hadn't used before!The initial impression on approach isn't particularly impressive, it's a working farm area and the game building is a medium sized room. Parking is limited, enough for 2 vehicles. When we arrived, the host greeted us and invited us into a darkened, room with a sofa and several headsets around. He gave us a brief run down, before guiding us, (well me, kids knew it all already, lol), through the basics. Once I'd put the headset on and adjusted the fit, the training program started and quite literally my jaw dropped!! From then on, time absolutely flew by. There is a decent selection of games, from Angry Birds to Among Us, Zombie survival to outer space. Definitely something for everyone.All in all, I would 100pct suggest you book more than 1 hour as its easy to just get into the games. Though we didn't play the multi player ones, we all had a blast and would definitely go back again!

Unfortunately we had to cancel at short notice. We had paid for a room plus 2 extra players. Beware you do not get your money back. Needed to read the small print.

It's been a while since I've been here, but I still remember it as a great time. The staff member we had was incredibly friendly and helped us all with any issues we had, I'd say that it's well worth the money and that I'll probably go back soon even though we have a vr headset at home now.

Staff were extremely friendly, and guided my friend along as she was new to VR. A good selection of games to play with and plenty of room for jumping about!

An absolutely fantastic place, we came here for my sons 14th birthday and just cannot fault it. I have never done VR before but quickly picked it up...suitable for all ages. Super friendly welcome and really lovely staff member who was so helpful and patient. Loads of brilliant games to choose from. Would defo recommend 2 hours as the time flies! If you are considering coming here, do it....its been the most fun day out we've had in a LONG time.will defo be back.

10 th birthday party. Zac super helpful and patient with the kids. Hilarious to watch. Brilliant you can see what the players see on a big screen.In the words of my ten year old: " Dad, we go to flip out, have fun, finish and I think that was fun. We go to laser tag, love it, it ends, I think that was fun. VRVE I did not want it to end, it was so much fun" BEST £60 spend on a party ever apparently. Thanks VRVE.

Had a great hour with my daughter, friendly informative 'host'. Clear instructions and great fun. Only issue is an hour is just not long enough but works out pricey because there was only the 2 of us. Book up to 6 people, share the cost, definitely do 2 hours. *Try the multi player mini golf!!!

Absolutely brilliant fun. Great setting, great instructions. Fantastic birthday treat my son. Will definitely be going again.

Really great experience with an instructor, but can be a bit disorientating after an hour if you're not used to virtual reality. Being able to play multiplayer games with my friends in the same room was also very enjoyable.

The staff are great, very welcoming, embracing of Neurodiversity, and adaptable to all age ranges from children to seniors, too.Their tech is great, the space is sensory heaven, and the artwork is atmospheric. We have had sessions with Callum, Johnny, Ghis, and Will and loved every minute.

Good family fun! This was our first experience of VR. Staff were helpful and friendly. My 13 year old nephew thoroughly enjoyed it. It takes 30-45 mins to familiarise with the console. So I would recommend booking 2 hours minimum for a meaningful experience. Overall, it is good value for money. I would recommend this.

ExcellentCame with 4 of us all enjoyed it. Was great being able to play multiplayer games together. They have a good setup with plenty of space. Was first time using vr for one of us and they had a good introduction experience which teaches you how to use the controls. Would recommend.

What a hidden gem! Came here for a 12 years birthday party and they were entertained from start to finish - ensure you book a two hour session as one hour won’t be long enough for a group booking. Easy location to find and really well set up with friendly helpful staff. Thanks Guys we will be back 😀

What a great way to spend an hour. The 2 guys were very accommodating to us novices and explained everything well.We were all made to feel relaxed and welcome whilst looking like idiots trying not to fall over! Thank you.

Went along with my family and a friend and his children. They loved it and I've got to agree, great selection of games including a few multiplayer. The kids want to go back and I'm more than happy to take them!No one felt ill from using the headsets, even though we booked a 2 hour session and my wife had never tried VR before. Comfortable to wear too!
Callum Lawton
21:08 13 Jun 22
Awesome hidden gem down an unassuming Marsh Barton lane. The VR equipment is top quality and Callum is very patient if your controller disconnects or you keep pressing the menu button. Great value for money if you're attending in a group, and some fun multiplayer games which are perfect for those with a competitive edge. Would strongly recommend!

Second visit today, they've expanded the operation and have a really great set-up. Space for the 6 of us to all play games together, or just do our own thing. Great fun and a good way to try out VR without splashing out and buying a headset yourself.

A group of 6 of us went here for a Stag-do. Absolutely terrific experience for all of us. We all had a fantastic time and the man who runs it is truly passionate about what he does. Unfortunately, he’s having to move his business so get there asap and help his business so he can move to a more accessible area

Can't recommend this place enough! I was surprised to hear it had been there for 4yrs and i only just discovered it. Took our 11 & 15yr old's with the hubby and we all had a great time. Great experience. Thank you!

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE.We came as a Family group not really knowing what to expect with ages ranging from 8 to 70.Everyone had a different favourite game/experience.Really easy to use and Jez from VRVE was great at helping those who needed it. Grandpa who isn't great with NEW Technology picked it up quickly and loved the day out.The Staff were great and we had the best time.Great value for money .

Just had a party for a bunch of 12 year olds. Fantastic time had by all, really different experience. Callum and the team were great, started with a cool and terrifying walk the plank exercise and a team game at the end, and free time in between for people to do whatever they wanted. Would definitely recommend 2 hours rather than 1 for a party. Wide range of games for all the family
Sarah Balsdon
12:32 12 Dec 21
Went in a group of 4 and was really good fun. Multi player games where we could all play together as well as lots of single player ones.It was late to start by about 10 minutes but then we got an extra 20 minutes added onto the end which was great!

13:45 27 Nov 21
A superb time had by all!! They've got all the kit, all the know how, and they are competent kind and helpful. VRVE are fab! Plenty of choice of games / experiences etc... Sadly nolonger offering free snacks, but fair enough - they are still superb as ever... We all had an enjoyable time, first timers and those already familiar with VR, really something for everyone, all ages entertained!

We were a group of 4 with one teenager and one in their seventies and everyone had a great time. VRVE are very professional and generous and treated us amazingly. We had a mixture of single player and multiplayer experiences. Time flew by!

It was very enjoyable and Jis was very helpful and calm. It was my Nan's first time in a VR experience and she couldn't walk the plank at the beginning but he didn't push her to. There is a great selection of games and my nan said the tutorial was fun and helpful. She did excellent in the Archer game. The only thing is that time pass way to quick.

Had a great time. Huge thanks to the guys for being so welcoming, friendly and making it an enjoyable and hilarious experience for all 6 of us. For all of us not having tried it before, we were shown the basics, eased in to more games and had enough time to try a multiplayer game too. Great fun.

Excellent place. Took our son for his 11th birthday with his sister and 4 friends. We already have a pc vr headset at home but this was still worth ever penny. The walk the plank experience was brilliant and the guy who oversaw everything was great and very patient with the kids.

This is great fun for children and adults alike . The host was very accommodating and looked after everyone in the party, ensuring they were getting the most out of the experience. Perfect for a party or for something to do on a rainy day. We will defintely be back!

Booked for my son's pre lockdown birthday. Will was great with the kids and it was a brilliant experience. If I was to book again I'd like to be able to book a longer slot as with 4 kids to 2 adult ratio he was being pulled in all directions. 😅Thank you so much.

21:50 03 Nov 20
This was a birthday treat for my son and he absolutely enjoyed every moment of it. Its an amazing experience and i would recommend this to all ages from 6 upwards. I had such a brilliant time of 2 hours and had so many laughs as well! Its so clever how it works and you actually feel like your in the game.Absolutely fantastic and we will be coming again next year😃👍Thank you VRVE 😊

Recently had my sons 12th birthday party at VRVE and the whole experience was amazing. The guys got my son and his friends up and running and playing games within 5 minutes of us being there and had enough headsets so that the adults could join in too. I would thoroughly recommend VRVE and we will be back! Thank you.

Excellent! We really enjoyed it. The guys are really nice and gave us great multi player suggestions, so we could play together as a family. We will definitely be going back to try some different games, and will probably be booking a 2 hour slot. Thank you very much!

Visited for my sons 10th birthday with 4 friends. They had a great time once they got the hang of it. In their words it was 'the best party ever', 'epic', 'awesome'. I would love to return without the kids !

My son and i had a brilliant time here. Our son has autism, and the staff showed both empathy and understanding of the condition, allowing additional time for me to explain the hundreds of games and experiences on offer. Out first time trying VR, and certainly not the last! Well worth a visit. Thank you. KMcD

I would totally recommend this place for a fun and different activity. My son and his friends (age 13) immensely enjoyed their session here and I enjoyed watching them! Lots of different games and immersive experiences for them to try. The guy running it was very patient and helpful, suggesting games and tips for the boys to try. All 3 of them said it was 'sick' so you cant get better than that!!
Hazel Grant

Fantastic experience, exceeded all our expectations. The chap that guided us throughout the hour was incredibly patient and supportive. We talked about the shared experience for the rest of the day and all can't wait to return for more.

Excellent experience. Kids had a whale of a time and so many games to choose from we could have stayed for another couple of hours. Great value (especially when compared to the one in Cabot). All the kids want their next bday parties there. Will be back next school hols for sure.

A work colleague recommended this experience. My nephews (12 and 8 years old) thoroughly enjoyed it, as did the 3 adults accompanying them! The guys were professional, friendly and great with my 3 nephews. Plenty of variation to keep us all amused and challenged for a full hour. It’s no frills simplicity, so don’t expect a polished studio experience, but for us it all added to the charm! Once immersed in the VR experience, the surroundings are irrelevant!

16:30 23 Jul 19
The guy was really friendly, thought was a excellent experience, really enjoyable. Recommend for everyone at all ages. 4 stars instead of 5 as I would want to go back often, and I know so many people who would use it regularly IF the sessions were more affordable. Also didn't get any popcorn 😉 Cheers guys, great idea and still laughing about bits so a good experience!

What a great find from my eldest daughter's boyfriend, he gifted a visit here for my youngest daughter's birthday and she loved it, or course she wants this for our house now!!! But no lol. Recommended for all ages I definitely recommend this, thank you to the guys running it made it a great experience.
