My son had his 8th birthday party at VR world and loved it. They set up a table and balloons for him, explained the tech well to the kids. Presentation was better than at other VR places we have been to that have been a bit scruffy. Good choice of games, kids had a great time.

Great experience, and they gave extra time because one of my group members was struggling to figure out her controls.
My only feedback to the team would be just to make sure all the apps are regularly updated on the right devices ;)

It was a very fun experience playing the VR escape room! We played the Prince of Persia game, and it was very fun and creative. The graphics were pretty good for a personal fantasy adventure; you can choose and customize your character, and the headset and controllers were pretty easy to use. Some puzzles took us some time, but we managed to finish the game. They were very kind to extend our game time, as there were no bookings after us. Thank you, VR World! Highly recommended!
