We showed up 15 minutes before closing and these guys were so awesome and accommodating! They let us purchase one 30 minute block of play time and split it between us. They got us set up and playing a super fun game in no time. It was my first time using VR anything, and I had a blast!!! Will definitely go back soon!

My time at Emergent VR was time very well spent. I had come for a Car Show event but honestly spent more time inside. Michael, the manager, as well as Sam and Andy made what might be a harrowing experience very fun and easy to get totally immersed in. The prices were fair both up front for the games as well as at the bar. I highly recommend visiting Emergent VR Encounter, you wont regret it!

Took my son who’s a HUGE gamer here as a surprise for his birthday. He loved it so much, as soon as we left he was asking when’s the next time we could go back! This is the coolest place ever! we also loved how friendly and awesome the staff were, and the fact that they have a bar on the back is the cherry on the cake! We will definitely be back!

The EDP team had a blast at Emergent VR Encounter! Gil flew a helicopter, Holly visited Paris, Ashley toured the sunken Titanic and Mariana scuba dived in the deep blue, plus many more adventures. Highly recommend for corporate team building, groups, individuals, date nights, you name it!

One of a kind place for VR in The Woodlands area. The managers are very friendly and knowledgeable. They have 6 or so Oculus set ups for fun local multiplayer and 3 triple-screen racing setups. Awesome place and loads of fun.

Came to Houston from lake Charles because we were displaced because of Hurricane Laura,so we were searching for some much needed fun so we googled this place and they did not disappoint. We had soooo much fun and the employees made it even better! If I could give them 10 I would!!! We definitely will be coming back! Thanks for the experience

Straight up one of the funnest things I have ever done before. Very clean and relaxed environment and the staff is overly helpful. The games were so much fun that I was pleasantly surprised compared to what I expected. Cant wait to go back again soon .

Incredibly clean place, which is of utmost importance these days. The staff is enthusiastic about what they do, and will walk you through the different experiences this place offers. Prices are very fair, and the amount of games to try is vast, both solo and coop.I have a guilty pleasure/hobby of racing Go Karts, and have a driving simulator at home. As such, I immediately hopped behind the FFB wheel of one of their incredible driving setups. These have full VR support, a hydraulic power seat rig that makes you feel like you’re inside of the vehicle you’re flinging around the virtual track, along with, truly, the best force feedback steering wheel I have ever used. The feedback from the steering wheel was amazing - unlike many other wheels, this one was completely silent and offered just enough information to feel like the real deal, without being overbearing.P.S. they also offer (excellent) beer from a local brewery and are open to hosting various events.

Loved my experience here, never been to anything like it. The people were very very nice, helpful and attentive. The place was set up smart, and i had a lot of fun with the eagle game. The cons are that they did not have anything that looked like reality, it all looked video game like or cartoony. Still cool though. Will go again and recommend it. Thanks.

Very impressed by the ambiance when I walked in. The environment definitely gets you in the mood to play some VR. The graphics are really amazing, sometimes you feel like youre going to fall over something when you are moving through the games. Ive taken my son here a few times and we never leave disappointed. Great location for a birthday party!

This place is awesome! I love racing but feel guilty when at what my exhaust fumes and burning rubber do the environment. And these are as close to the real thing that Ive found. And you get to compete with the best times, super fun!

We tried a new virtual reality place in The Woodlands yesterday. I killed lots of orcs, a giant, and a few flying dragons. The place has been open over a year but last week was the first time I heard about it. Going back next weekend. So much fun.

Incredible fun. Experienced my first VR gaming and could not believe how realistic it is. The race cars are just like driving exotic race cars. Great for all ages. They even have a private room for groups or parties.

Attended a birthday party for kids ranging 8-12. Andy was patient and explained all the controls and games to the kids. All of the kids played a few different games during the time slot and had a great time. Some of the adults also played and had a blast. Excited to try the racing simulators next time. Will visit again!

I love it here but my god is it expensive. $60/hr is a lot! Super useful if you want to test out VR for the first time but I wouldnt recommend if you want to play regularly. The price is understandable because of the cost of VR and the rigs and real estate associated, but I cant see myself going here regularly. Might be fun with friends.

I took my family in for the first time tonight and we were extremely pleased with the overall business. Friendly local business, and the VR gaming experience and equipment were top notch. We weren’t quite sure what to expect as this was our first visit to a VR arcade and we did not regret it. The selection of games suits all ages and the job game was a blast for my daughter as well. Well worth the $35 an hour price tag we paid. There are cheaper prices for less time as well if you don’t want an hour. Mike and Samantha were super friendly hosts and knew a lot about the equipment and games. My family loved it. Will definitely be returning.

Came in with my daughter on a slow time. She was 6 and below their recommended age of 8, but they let her try and she was up and going by herself after getting used to the wand controllers. I will add that I had exposed my child to vr from 3 years old in my household, being a gaming enthusiast. The service was great and the employees were really helpful and cool. I will definitely come back in the future while Im saving up to build my own vr set up at home.

Lots of games, lots of stations to play VR. My wife and I had a blast playing Elven Assassin and Beat Saber. The staff was very helpful and he was very knowledgeable about the games themselves and gave us tips and suggestions. Were already excited to go back and try more games.
