A nice venue. The host was very accommodating. It was a first time and he explained well. We had great fun as a family with young kids . Different games to try. Will definitely recommend it

We visited Immersive Gaming in Southbank as a group of four, and unfortunately the entire experience was disappointing from start to finish. The venue was completely empty when we arrived, yet after checking in we were simply told to take a seat and that someone would come to bring us to our room. No one ever did. When I eventually approached the desk again after 30 minutes, the staff member informed me that it was our responsibility to let them know when we were ready—directly contradicting what we had been told moments earlier. The gaming experience itself was equally underwhelming. It is advertised as “fully interactive,” but in reality, it’s just a helmet with a sensor while projectors display images on the walls. The walls aren’t interactive at all. The actual games were poorly designed, lacking in immersion, and became frustrating rather than enjoyable. For the price we paid (£220), this felt like extremely poor value. You would honestly have a far better time buying a Nintendo Switch or a Meta VR headset and enjoying proper interactive gaming at home. Save your money—this experience is not worth it.

Really enjoyed our games - only downside one of our headsets wasn't picking up movement. Eventually had enough, called for assistance and ended up swapping rooms. Batman game was good, enjoyed floor is lava though felt much shorter than 30 mins. Overall a really good experience and something different.

Our visit to Immersive Gamebox in Southbank was a fun and memorable family outing. We chose the new Batman game, which proved to be a thrilling and interactive experience suitable for all ages. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere set the tone for something exciting. The venue is clean, modern, and well-organised, with lockers available to safely store your belongings before you start. The staff could have been more friendly during check-in, and it would have been nice if they had given clear instructions on how to use the game technology. The Batman game itself is an innovative experience that combines storytelling, teamwork, and technology in a seamless way. Using Immersive Gamebox’s advanced setup, which includes 3D motion tracking, projection mapping, and touch-sensitive walls, you are transported into the dark world of Gotham City. It feels like stepping into an interactive cinema adventure where you become part of the story. The premise is simple yet engaging. Gotham is in danger, and time is running out. Your mission is to rise as Gotham’s ultimate contender, solving challenges and outsmarting classic villains. Together as a family, we took on the Joker, The Riddler, Harley Quinn, Bane, and Poison Ivy. Each section had its own unique challenge, keeping us on our toes throughout. We had to solve riddles, scale buildings, drive the Batmobile, and defuse bombs. Every game was well-paced and easy to understand, even for younger players. The system responds to your movement and teamwork, which makes it a great activity for families or small groups. There was plenty of laughter, competition, and excitement from start to finish. At the halfway point, we took a short break and ordered soft drinks. Unfortunately, we were told that the drinks would be brought to us, but I had to collect them myself. It was a minor inconvenience in what was otherwise a smooth experience. Despite that, the overall setup and the energy of the game more than made up for it. The visuals are impressive, and the motion tracking works very well. You really feel part of the mission, racing against time to protect Gotham. Every second counts, and every move matters. What makes Immersive Gamebox stand out is how user-friendly and inclusive the experience is. You don’t need gaming experience to enjoy it. The system guides you, the challenges are varied, and the teamwork element keeps everyone engaged. Whether you’re a fan of DC Comics or just looking for something different to do in London, the Batman game delivers a mix of entertainment, problem-solving, and light physical activity. The experience is well-timed, lasting long enough to feel immersive without becoming tiring. It’s an excellent choice for a family day out, a group activity with friends, or even a team-building session. Immersive Gamebox has done a great job creating something that feels both cinematic and personal. You’re not just watching a story unfold; you’re living it. You step into Gotham’s shadows, face its dangers, and earn your victory as a team. Overall, the Batman game was great fun. It’s something different, engaging, and ideal for families with children or anyone who enjoys interactive adventures. While the minor issue with the drinks could be improved, the quality of the experience itself is excellent. Step into Gotham, take on the villains, and prove your worth as the city’s defender. Immersive Gamebox Southbank offers a unique and memorable experience that’s worth trying. Good family fun, easy to follow, and packed with action. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining, tech-driven experience in the heart of London.
