This was my first VR experience and it was so fun! I was a little skeptical being new, but this did not disappoint at all! If I lived in NYC I’d definitely be back again soon. Highly recommend! Also love that love that they’re a small start up. I’ll definitely be back when in the area again.
We played Room K. It was more challenging than I thought it’d be. I’d definitely recommend it. Make sure both your hands are working when you start. We had to pause at the start to fix our right hands not working and slowed us down a pinch.

It was my boyfriend and I’s first time playing with VR and this was super fun and exciting!! We would definitely come back with some friends. We played Virus and it was first time user friendly! We came here around 2pm on a Thursday and were the only ones there which was cool! Definitely recommend this spot!

Absolutely amazing fun experience with friends. Although its not exactly long it's definitely a great place to celebrate with friends and play VR games together. The experience makes you feel a bit detached afterwards which is kinda cool. The waiting area is clean and nice. Game area has lockers and planet of space and staff is reliable, communicative, and nice.

First time here, and wow, it definitely won’t be my last! We played the puzzles/alien game and it was absolutely amazing. The place was super clean, cool, and welcoming, with drinks available for purchase. Both bathrooms were spotless, and there’s even a water fountain which was a nice touch. Silmi was our host and she was fantastic, so helpful, polite, and really knowledgeable about all the other games they offer. I can’t wait to come back with my teen son and his friends… I just know they’re going to love it as much as I did!
