We visited Mirage VR as a family yesterday, excited for an immersive virtual reality experience — but unfortunately, it turned out to be a huge disappointment.
The location itself was a major red flag. It’s tucked away in the basement of an old building, poorly marked, and frankly run down. The strong odour and visible mold made it uncomfortable to even stay there for long. It felt neglected and unfit for a place that relies on technology and cleanliness to attract customers.
The equipment was heavily outdated and barely functional. The headsets and controllers looked like they were from the early days of VR, and the staff had to recalibrate the system multiple times just to get it to work — even then, it was glitchy and unresponsive. The graphics and games were shockingly old, more like something from the 1990s than a modern VR experience.
The only saving grace was the employee on duty. She was incredibly knowledgeable, polite, and genuinely tried her best to make our experience enjoyable. Her professionalism and effort deserve a 10/10, but sadly, there’s only so much she could do given the poor condition of the facility and equipment.
Overall, Mirage VR feels years behind today’s VR standards. Despite the great staff, the outdated tech, unpleasant environment, and poor value for money make it impossible to recommend. Save yourself the frustration and look for a more modern and better-maintained VR venue.
