Went this weekend and did not enjoy. This place is probably great for someone who has never used VR, but as someone who knows what VR is capable of it was a subpar experience. You pay a premium price for a very short amount of time playing low quality steam games/experiences on non immersive hydraulics. We may have had more fun if the owner hadnt chosen everything we do for us (which made me feel even worse about how much I spent to not get to choose what we wanted to do), but honestly even with full choice of what we did it still would not have felt worth it.If you are a parent with young kids who want to experience VR then this place is great for you and I would def give it a shot! If you are older and curious about VR you may enjoy this, but honestly it is not a great first impression of VR so I wouldnt recommend it especially with the cost for such a short amount of play. If you are someone who owns your own headset and are experienced with VR do not waste your time or money going here.Edit -Response to owner: I am not on here complaining to get a refund or anything, I just wanted to pass on some constructive criticism for you and give any potential customers some advice. As I said, there is definitely a niche customer base this place is great for and I am just not part of it. I would rather stear away others like me so that you can keep getting great reviews from those who should actually go here. If you wanna improve anything I just say do anything you can to make it more self service and price it better for what it is.
Our family stopped by to check it out and we stayed and played games for a few hours! Great service, great equipment and so many games to choose from. The owner was very personable, giving us suggestions and making sure we got the most game play for our tokens.The only bummer was that my dad couldn’t play any games because his glasses wouldn’t fit in the headset. My mom had smaller glasses that fit and my dad’s were only a little bigger.My sister and I used to play a lot of DDR so we spent most of our time on Beat Saber. That was our favorite game :)
I agree with the other reviews..I really liked the owner..he is very helpful..and friendly..he helped us with our entire experience being fairly new to a VR game room..Hewas just wonderful.. he made sure I would be a returning customer.. I enjoyed the entire experience at VR 1 the prices were very reasonable and the Vr Games were amazing .. I laughed, screamed, had a blast and my granddaughter seemed to enjoy herself very much too..Im terrified of heights so I got to face some of my fears with my feet planted firmly on the ground..but my mind said no your 100 feet in the air and your in a dead drop ..lol.. it was thrilling and exciting and mind blowing....I thank the owner at the shop and I thank him again for his time and effort and the wonderful time.
This place is amazing the kids had blast. The owner was amazing he went beyond to make sure our experience was super. He took his time to guide each kid through each station . One token can give you 5minutes of game time and almost or most of the games requires only one token which is a plus the price was so fair. Very quality and plenty games to choose at each station. Definitely a nice place to have a birthday party. This is my second time and will definitely come back.
Very enjoyable experience. Workers are extremely friendly, and care for their customers. The inside is very clean, and the layout is amazing. They have a lot of amazing games, and everyone can find something they like. They thoroughly clean off the equipment between people. It is very family friendly, and I do highly recommend for all.
This place was so nice and well put together. I would 100% recommend for any occasion, even including little children. There’s something for everyone and it’s just a fun place all together. The customer service makes it even better honestly. The owner is literally so nice and his employees are extremely helpful. I can’t even recommend it enough. COME HERE!!!!!!
Very interesting new shop. Its a VR gaming place. Very well done, kinda post-modern, chic decor, great games. A little pricey - no games like this cost only a quarter!Having said that, my GF and I LOVED the experience. I paid about $40 for eight tokens. It was worth it!We will go back next time were in the area late and this place is open until 9:00 on Friday and Saturday nights, which is awesome since Barnes and Noble still closes at 8:00 PM.
We had our sons birthday party here and he had a blast. All of the party goers had fun. The staff worked well with our group of 8/9 year olds. They were patient, spent the time to go through the games, and set each child on each game. Everyone is so excited to go play again! The kids said the top games were Beat Saber, Fruit Ninja, and Dragon Warrior. Thank you!
Brought the kiddies here and they had a blast!! The staff is super friendly, and I appreciate the way they were very strict with the cleaning during these times! I would definitely recommend you go at night, the place is beautiful at night with the lights!! The pricing was great too, I have a four kids and we bought there platinum package which was about 110 bucks, and they were able to pretty much experience as many rides as they wanted! We will be back!!
Went into this place on a Sunday afternoon after some shopping in the neighboring stores, and it was a great couple of hours spent. Owner was very patient, explained all the games and made sure we are comfortable with the setup. We were short of 1 coin when my kids wanted to do a ride together and they were kind enough to offer one for free. At the end, I had some conversation around making VR experience better by simulating g-force and owner allowed me to play one game at no cost and it was great and did have the unique gravitational force experience. Will definitely go again !!
I would love to give them 5 stars but because I wear glasses I could not play any of the games. My family had a great time though. They are very attentive and helpful. They carefully cleaned the games in between users. I now know that my glasses are a little wider than most, your results may vary. Highly recommended.
The place is amazing! Im sure people of all ages will enjoy the coolest VR games . They also have a separated party room. What a great way to spend a birthday. The staff is awesome. They took us on a tour and showed us all the stations. Loved it ,and were certainly going back!
We had my son’s birthday party here. They were very accommodating and answered all our questions. Bikram helped us decide which package would be best and we were not pressured to purchase something we did not want. The place is clean and bright, and their back room was a great size for pizza, cake, and gifts.
I LOVED their virtual reality games. I really liked the car and bike virtual reality sets, it was so fun! My family had a great time here, too. The staff is very friendly, and helped me by telling what each game is about. It’s a great place to have a birthday party 🥳, if you like VR games.🎮
If you are on the fence about going read this!We had an amazing experience at VR1 Gaming. The staff assisted our crew with the games and really made this an experience for us all. They have VR games we never seen before (coming from a family that travels often!) and it was fun for us at all ages. I highly recommend you visit!
First time, I saw the ad on Instagram and told my friend for a birthday idea. Went today(10/10/20) I was very happy with how friendly and helpful the staff and management was! The VR Machines were very interesting, had a blast trying them all! Looking forward to the next visit.
We just found VR1 when we were looking for a place to take our son for his birthday. It was so much fun! The owner, Pikram, and another worker were very helpful, showing our kids and their friends how to play and did a great job suggesting the best game options. They were very diligent with keeping the games sanitized during COVID. We went on a Friday at 4:30 and it was a perfect time. Highly suggest.
This place is great ! The customer service and workers were so kind and polite ! There were so many different game options to choose from and so many different Vr stations available. The place has a nice sleek cool look inside and is easy for a quick game. Its very fun and would recommend to anyone wanting to try VR! I was skeptical about going in because Im not a fan, but this place was great ! I would definitely come back
New to VR, have your own, or want to just go explore this is the place for it. Great, friendly and attentive staff to help explain, walk through and answer any questions about the games and set up.Adds an extra dimension when playing beat saber with the immersive sound system. Feel the wind when on the roller coaster and the machine gun rotating when fighting off soldiers.
This place is a must try if you are in the area! Its even worth a drive to come try an entirely unique experience. VR is the new arcade and this place has all that VR has to offer. The area is lit up super cool, has snacks, and plenty of space to hang out and even an area for birthday parties. The owner was so kind and really has set up an amazing place to try. You will enjoy the VR as a child and an adult I couldnt stop laughing on the VR I tried.

2022-05-17We did the private event for my seven year old sons birthday party here. I have two kids with birthdays the same day, December 19th, and just wanted to show up somewhere instead of worrying about putting together a party for once. This place delivered on that and it was AMAZING! We had seven kids, and their parents, and there were plenty of coins given for everyone to have a blast. The pizza that was included was delicious, and when the pizza place made a mistake, the owner went back and got us a new one(we didnt even know about the mistake, he just took care of it!), which was so nice of him! Everyone had a great time, very memorable, and I didnt have to do anything, the staff took care of it all! Plenty of fun games for little kids and adults, and the back room for the birthday party was perfect size. Great set up all around!

2022-02-25Ok, in all honesty, I thought I was going to a previous VR place so I didnt realize how far it was from me. Lol. In spite of, my 10 yr old and I had a blast. The owner and the helpers with him were available every step and made sure that we were having a good time. It was very clean and he even treated my son bc we were celebrating his bday. Im glad we found them and highly recommend them.

2021-09-26This place is AMAZING! I didn’t know what to expect so I kept an open mind, it was so worth it! This is a place the the whole family can enjoy. Not to mention the owner and is staff are PHENOMENAL!! I hope he’s able to open a new location a little closer to Atlanta. That’s literally the only complaint I have is the drive but well worth the drive & experience!!

2021-12-16An awesome place! My girlfriend and I came in, not knowing what to expect since it’s our first time and the person there did an amazing job (low and behold it was the owner) showing us the ropes and which ones we would enjoy! All in all it was a great time and I suggest if you have the time then to try it out!

2022-02-26My first time doing VR and it was better than I thought! They cleaned after each person used their machines, they were attentive and explained each game and gave recommendations. The games ranged from kid friendly to a little more intense for the adults. Super friendly and extremely fun! (My favorite is beat saber- a variety of songs to choose from) Best of all it’s at a good price. When I visit GA again, this is on the list for sure. 10/10

2022-01-24Our kiddo had a great time with all the games! They have a nice mix of games that are age appropriate for little kids too! Owner is super nice but younger staff acts a little annoyed with having to help get you set up on games. Kinda strange that they give you the tokens but you arent allowed to put them in the machines. A staff member has to launch everything for you.
