Absolutely! Connect your phone to our Bluetooth speakers and play your own party playlist during the lounge portion. Just keep it appropriate since we're in a shared venue.

Light drinking beforehand is fine, but we recommend moderation — VR can cause motion discomfort if you're impaired. We don't allow alcohol consumption on-site. Our staff may decline VR for anyone who appears significantly intoxicated.
Groups & Special Requests
4 questionsAbsolutely! We've hosted many surprise parties. Just let us know when booking, and we'll coordinate arrival times and help keep the secret. Pro tip: have the birthday person arrive slightly after the group.
Definitely! VR appeals to everyone regardless of gaming experience. Non-gamers often have the most fun because they're not comparing it to traditional gaming. Our staff helps everyone feel comfortable.
Yes! Many groups book a 1.5-hour session before dinner at a nearby restaurant. We're in Carlsbad with plenty of dining options within 10 minutes. Ask us for recommendations!
It's less common in adults than you might think, especially with our free-roam systems. If someone feels uncomfortable, they can take a break in the lounge. Our staff watches for signs and can suggest less intense games.

What Adults Say About Our Parties
"I had a wonderful time as a party of two. We selected to choose our game on arrival, getting recommendations from the staff. We got hooked up and put in a virtual arcade room to get used to the controls and navigating the space. We chose Manor of Escape which had great graphics and challenging puzzles. It was so much fun working together and interacting with our surroundings. We ended up finishing successfully with less than 30 seconds left! I highly suggest checking this place out if you want to try VR or are looking for a unique outing."
"Was invited to go for my nephews birthday and was not really looking forward to going tbh. Let me say I was pleasantly surprised. The entire experience was awesome, Sam was a huge help and we tried a few various things like the Escape Room, Zombie killing and more. Every activity was an absolute blast and I am so glad I decided to come. Absolutely give this place a go if you have never been. You will not regret it."
"So much fun, great way to spend time as a family or friends. Been here multiple times with different groups and loved it each and every time!"
