We came here for a team night out and had such a great time. There’s a wide selection of games, the atmosphere is fun, and the staff are really friendly. took great care of us and was absolutely fantastic. Would definitely recommend!
Brilliant experience featuring VR and interactive games. We played the squid game tournament and played against each other. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Great time!!!! Francis was great at explaining everything. Highly recommend. Just wanted to add that we had troubles with downloading the video after our game and Francis went above and beyond to make sure that we got it. The whole experience was very positive and lots of fun. The game tracks your movement perfectly and respods quickly which is very impressive. We are already planning our next visit.
Nestled in the bustling heart of Manchester Arndale at Unit R3, Halle Place, Market Street (M4 3AQ), Immersive Gamebox transforms a compact room into a high-octane augmented reality playground. This isn't your standard arcade—don lightweight motion-sensing visors, and suddenly, walls pulse with interactive projections, surround sound engulfs you, and every gesture controls the action. Games like Shaun the Sheep's Mossy Bottom Championsheeps or Angry Birds pit teams against puzzles, races, and battles, all in 60-minute bursts of collaborative chaos. For kids' parties around age 8, it's an absolute winner. Tailored for ages 8+, these experiences demand no prior gaming skills—just enthusiasm and movement. My group of eight-year-olds squealed through sheep-herding mini-games and alien invasions, their energy perfectly matched by the physical, team-based fun that builds camaraderie without screens glued to faces. Private boxes for 2-6 players (multiple for larger parties) mean no strangers crashing the vibe, and dedicated birthday packages add pizza, fries, and unlimited squash in a post-game lounge—pure party fuel for £20-£30 per child.
Brilliant experience! The games were amazing and the staff were brilliant. We’ve visited a few times and we always have great fun! You can order drinks to the room as you can get hot moving around! We always dress in summer clothes to stay cool :) Caitlin & Francis were lovely.
To book, first choose your location and game, then select your players, date, and time. Our Gameboxes can hold up to 6 players, and our system will automatically reserve multiple boxes for larger groups. We highly recommend booking in advance due to high demand, although walk-ins are also welcome.
Standard tickets can be refunded or rescheduled up to 48 hours before your booking time using the 'Manage My Booking' link in your confirmation email. Cancellations made less than 48 hours in advance, or for tickets purchased within that 48-hour window, are not eligible for a refund or compensation. Special policies apply to large group packages.
Our pricing is per person, per experience, and can vary by location, selected game, date, and time. The initial price displayed is a 'from' price, representing the lowest possible booking cost. Prices may increase during peak times, such as school holidays, weekends, and busy weekday evenings.
We offer games suitable for ages 3 and up, but not all games are appropriate for younger children. PAW Patrol is ideal for ages 3+, while Angry Birds and our Junior Bundle are great for ages 5+. Most other games are for ages 8+ to adult, with Squid Game recommended for ages 12+. Children under 12 must always be accompanied by an adult.
Each Gamebox accommodates a maximum of 6 players. If your group exceeds this number, our system will automatically reserve additional Gameboxes to ensure everyone can play. You will be split into teams across multiple boxes and play at the same time.
Please wear comfortable, sensible footwear like flat shoes or trainers; open-toed shoes or heels are not permitted. We also recommend wearing only one layer of clothing as you might get warm during active gameplay. Free lockers are available for personal items, but availability cannot be guaranteed.
Most of our venues operate on a cashless system, accepting only card payments for on-site purchases. For Manchester Arndale specifically, card payments are accepted, and online payments are used for bookings. Some other venues do accept cash, but this varies by location.
