💬 What Visitors Say

💡If you're prone to motion sickness, mention it when booking or arriving—Tidal Force has special equipment and design considerations that significantly reduce or eliminate VR motion sickness, so don't let that concern prevent you from trying it.
💡Room K is the most talked-about experience with intense physical sensations (elevator movement that feels real). Book this for date nights or groups of 2-6 experienced VR gamers who want an adrenaline rush, but try other games like Defense or Skirmish first if you're new to VR.
💬These are custom, location-exclusive VR experiences created by the venue owners—not generic games. Each game ranges from quick sessions to 40 minutes of full immersion, so book based on your group's stamina and time availability.
💡Private group bookings for corporate events or celebrations up to 70 people are available with custom branding options. Contact ahead for groups of 7+, as staff can tailor the experience and create competitive excitement with leaderboards.
💡Children ages 8-9 must play with an adult, while ages 10+ can play independently. The friendly, experienced staff (also the game creators) are welcoming to all skill levels, making this great for mixing VR veterans with first-timers in the same group.
