FAQ

Kids Birthday Party Questions Answered

Everything parents need to know about hosting a VR birthday party for kids

Ages & Safety

4 questions

Our kids parties are designed for ages 8–12. Ages 8–9 do great with our gentler, colorful games. Ages 10–11 love our puzzle-based escape rooms. Age 12 can handle more adventure-style games. We'll recommend the best games based on your child's age and comfort level.

Yes! VR is completely safe for kids ages 8+. Our equipment is sanitized between every session, arenas have padded floors and boundaries, and our hosts monitor all gameplay. Kids typically adapt to VR quickly and have a blast. If anyone feels uncomfortable, they can take a break anytime.

It's rare, but if it happens, kids can take a break in our lobby with you. Our hosts watch for signs of discomfort and can switch games immediately. We have plenty of gentler options, and many kids who feel unsure at first end up loving it!

Kids under 8 can come to the party and enjoy the lobby celebration, but VR headsets are designed for ages 8+. Younger siblings can watch their older siblings play on our screens and participate in the cake and presents portion of the party.

Games & Experience

3 questions

Not at all! For kids parties, we only use family-friendly games — no zombies, horror, or anything scary. Think colorful adventures, dancing games, puzzle solving, and cooperative missions. We curate games specifically for each age group.

Kids go crazy for Beat Saber (dancing with lightsabers!), our cooperative escape room adventures, and team-based missions where they work together. We also have sports games and creative experiences. Our staff knows exactly what works for each age group.

Absolutely! Let us know your preferences when booking. If the birthday child has specific interests (sports, music, puzzles), we can tailor the game selection. We're happy to discuss options beforehand.

Packages & Pricing

4 questions

Both include 10 kids and 30 minutes of lobby time for cake and presents. The difference is VR game time: 60 minutes for 1.5-hour parties vs. 120 minutes for 2.5-hour parties. Younger kids (8–10) often do great with the shorter package, while older kids (10–12) typically prefer more gaming time.

Both packages include 10 kids for the base price. Additional kids are $20 each. The 1.5-hour package allows up to 17 kids, and the 2.5-hour package allows up to 25 kids. Sunday parties are limited to 11 kids maximum.

Up to 15 kids can play simultaneously across our 3 VR arenas. For larger parties, we rotate kids so everyone gets plenty of play time. Our hosts manage this smoothly — kids take turns and watch their friends on the screens while waiting.

Yes! For 1.5-hour parties, you can add 30 minutes of extra VR time for $89. This brings your total to 90 minutes of gaming plus 30 minutes for food — a great middle ground between our two main packages.

Food & Party Setup

4 questions

Yes! Bring your own cake, cupcakes, pizza, snacks — whatever your child loves. We provide tables, tablecloths, plates, napkins, and utensils. We have a freezer for ice cream cakes. Many families order pizza delivery to arrive during the lobby time.

Every package includes 30 minutes of private lobby time for cake, snacks, and opening presents. This is usually plenty of time, but if you need more, just let us know — we can sometimes adjust depending on our schedule.

Simple decorations like balloons and banners are welcome! Please avoid confetti or anything that makes a big mess. Our staff can help you set up when you arrive 10–15 minutes before your party start time.

Yes! We have free, convenient on-site parking. Easy access for dropping off your party supplies when you arrive and picking up kids at the end. The parking lot is right outside our front door.

Supervision & Policies

4 questions

Yes, for kids ages 8–12 we require at least one parent or guardian to stay for the duration of the party. Most parents enjoy watching their kids in VR on our screens! It's actually pretty entertaining to see them in action.

We send a digital waiver link before the party. Each child's parent/guardian must complete a waiver. Share the link with all invited families so waivers are done before arrival — this saves time and gets kids gaming faster!

Life happens! Contact us to discuss rescheduling or cancellation. We're flexible and will work with you to find a solution. We recommend booking 2–4 weeks in advance as weekend slots fill up quickly.

Absolutely! Let us know about any special accommodations needed when booking. Our staff is patient and experienced with all kinds of kids. We can adjust game selections, pace, and supervision based on individual needs.

Still have questions? We're happy to help!

"As a dad who knows nothing about VR, I was worried about supervising 12 kids. The Escape To VR team handled EVERYTHING. Games were perfect for 8-year-olds, kids rotated smoothly, and I just got to watch and enjoy. Highly recommend!"
