THE GRID VR - PRIVATE GAMING LOUNGE
When you book at theGridVR you have the entire room to yourselves.
Each booking is for 90 minutes for up to 8 people.
OUR GAMING STATIONS
There are two stations each with a FULLY IMMERSIVE HTC Vive VR headset, giving true-to-life movements with realistic graphics, and 360 degree freedom of movement!
Each station is an open 2x2m play area with plenty of room to explore.
Both stations can be played at the same time…you can even play against each other in the virtual world!
Each station has a 50″ TV so you can see what the player is seeing in real time…perfect for when you need to give them that “encouragement” to step of the plank! 🙂
The in-headset launcher allows you to explore and swap games with just a few clicks.
Huge Library of games. 40+ titles, a game for everyone. Jump in and play your VR favourites.
Anyone can play, 8yr old+ kids, teens, and even the adults.
We also have six portable, all-in-one VR headsets (Oculus Go) to keep you entertained whilst you wait for your go on the main VR station. These small headsets let you watch VR videos, and play simple games (such as fishing, or a snowball fight!) all from the comfort of the sofas.
Everyone in your group will have a VR headset to use for the entire session.
Our retro arcade machine is available for free-play in the Private Gaming Lounge.
Over 5000 games from many of the most iconic gaming consoles…including the original arcade games (Pacman anyone?)
Play all the classics from every eras as you wait!
OUR SNACK BAR
VR Gaming can be thirsty work so there are hot and cold soft drinks available at our snack bar.
For those with a sweet tooth, you can purchase sweet snacks and crisps.

You really know your stuff about VR too. My son still talks about it and now my husband is wanting to go with his friends. You deserve so much success. Honestly can't thank you all enoughread more
