We had a birthday party there today for a 10 year old. It was great! 8 kids and everyone had a lot of fun for the whole 2 hours that we had.The owners are very nice.

Highly recommend!!! This is a great concept and an exciting experience for everyone. They have a good variety of games to choose from first-person shooter zombie to Mario party style gaming. Its extremely fun to play, even funnier to watch people play and the staff is super cool. While playing, take your time to learn the controls because you can get dizzy moving too fast. If you are watching, there are TVs showing you what the players are seeing. With the Groupon, you can only choose two games to play but it is worth the experience. It can get expensive the longer you play. They charge by 5-10 minute increments.The location is not hard to find but its not visible from the outside as it is a rented space inside a building. Also, its a small area for an arcade. They only have 4 machines you can play on. If you have a large party, only 4 people can play at a time. Having too many people is not ideal if you all want to play together especially for an extended period of time.

Owners were great, walked us through our first experience. They kept us in the loop as far as time went so we didnt lose track of time and to make sure we werent trying to switch games before time ran out. Great time overall, my 8 year old son loved it. Too much fun I didnt even get to take pics.

This place is pretty cool! We came for a birthday party, and the kids had so much fun! Its a small space that my friend rented out just for the occasion. It was perfect! Id love to come back and see what its like during normal business hours.

My sons new favorite place. Virtual reality job simulator, now the only one in san diego, great prices and specials everyday, check them out, you can try them even for 10 minutes, and also if you are new, make sure you let them know you are new. The guy is also a gamer, he has arcade machine thats plug in and play. Ask him to show it to you if you are a retro gamer, specially arcade. Check this place out if possible.

My family and I had so much fun. We were a family of four and we played the same game for the first 30 minutes, then played whatever we wanted the next 30 minutes. The games were so fun and interactive. We had such a good time that my son and nephew stayed an additional 30 minutes. Well be back again. Hosts were great and informative. Such a great experience, thank you!

Four stations with a good hand full of games, maybe 3 or four games are up to 4 players, 2 or so for two players, and the rest for solo experience. There are games and there are experience type sessions. You can pay for anything from 10minutes to an hour and they run specials like free time added. Super fun and addicting and the crew is very good at explaining use so that you can just jump right in and play! Very amazing what you can do with the VR set ups, it is of course commercially available for your own several hundred dollar purchase OR you can just go here and scream at monsters with your buddies and work with or against each other. Come in athletic attire, youll thank me.

The owner of this place is the coolest nicest guy!! Hes very knowledgeable and explains the instructions very clearly, and he values his returning customers and is just super nice in general. I love coming here with my friends, sometimes during the weekends it can get crowded so you have to make reservations but usually you can just walk in and play and its really chill !!

This place is amazing the games are fun and the employees are very friendly. I will recommend this! The only problem is today (12/22/17) the website said it opens at 11:00 am so we went there at 11:25 and it wasnt open.

Review №29

Not worth the price, I left after 10 minutes, they kind of just stop helping you once you put your money down, I expect the 5 star reviews are all family and friends of the business... I expected it to be a completely different experience than the 3D carboard glasses that my niece got me for $4 online but unfortunately not. Paying $10 to stare at virtual fish swim for 30 minutes is something I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy. My advice? Go spend $10 on drinks and walk down to the beach to stare at real fish. Business is basically a bedroom with 4 VR goggles lols

So awesome. Went in for an hour with my buddy and was blown away. We are pc gamers but had never done VR before. Their set up is legit and Jose was an awesome guide through the whole process. We will be back with more friends. Probably to rent all 4 stations. Highly recommend as it’s some of the best money you can spend for an hour of fun in this city.
