I had the best time! Definitely worth trying out if you’ve never tried virtual reality experiences. Part of why it was such a good experience was the AMAZING staff. They were so friendly and helpful! I had a voucher for me and my boyfriend that could only be redeemed in person. We arrived with no appointment and they were able to let us participate with no waiting times. They recommended the adventure pack to us: cops & robbers, kitchen game, & a Tron-like game. The best part was that it was Valentine’s Day so we were able to have the room to ourselves and only played with each other. At the end, they surprised us with handing my boyfriend a rose that he was able to give me as we were leaving. They care to make sure you have the best time & it definitely shows. 10/10 would absolutely recommend this place! Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day so special!

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids ready for intense, immersive gaming that goes well beyond home VR headsets. The private room format works particularly well for birthday parties — 20 kids played a birthday session here with staff managing the entire group patiently.

🎟️30-minute sessions are the right length — longer would be exhausting

First time at the Glendale Galleria location. Played at the Hollywood Blvd location once before. We went on a week day and had the place to ourselves. The staff member gave us a thorough explanation on the weapon usage and goal of the game. We got the feel on our artillery before starting as to better handle it in battle. As expected it was a pretty intense and a bit stressful experience. You must constantly be aware of your surroundings. We choose the Alien attack game but all the games are equally exciting. Kinda glad it was a half hour game. Any longer would have been too much. Great couple of guys working there. Very helpful and friendly. If you’ve never tried this I highly recommend this adventure at any of their locations.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the VR escape room experience at the location in Glendale. We first did the Space Station Tiberia game. Excellent. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we immediately signed up for a second game involving time travel. Again, excellent! We will definitely come back. The staff was so nice and very accommodating to our special requests.

Had an eleventh birthday party for my son here. The twenty kids had an amazing time! The staff were really patient and kind with them. Definitely recommend. Really fun place and great for an active, inclusive birthday where kids get to play, run and use screens at the same time! Thanks Dennis for being such a great help!
