    So much fun!
    Carissa C.

    Immersive Gamebox is so much fun! My husband and I were enjoying our staycation in Downtown Houston, and decided to give this place a try. We opted for the ever-popular Squid Games. It definitely was an "immersive experience" as the entire room became a touchscreen of the game. We'd love to come back with our friends to try the other games!

    Houston summer is hoooooooot Enter Immersive Gamebox. We need more cool, air conditioned, unique, and exciting activities in Houston! A family member made the terrible decision of visiting us in the midst of the Houston summer. Luckily, we had visited Immersive Gamebox once before and knew about this as an awesome option. How do you describe an experience as unique and amazing as Immersive Gamebox? Maybe we start with what it is not: it is not an escape room, it is not an arcade, it is not virtual reality. This is a truly new type of gaming experience where you wear a visor that is tracked across a room that makes you a part of the game (the immersive aspect of this gaming experience). This allows for a really and truly fascinating gaming experience. Immersive Gamebox has partnered with some big names - Netflix (Squid Games and Black Mirror), Angry Birds, Paw Patrol - whatever your interest, you will find a game that you are likely to enjoy. Even if you're unfamiliar with the IP you will probably have an amazing time! Cannot recommend enough.

    My daughter saw this online and said we had to try it. It's located downtown in the same building as Puttshack near Tom's. The pricing is around $30 pp for and hr. The games range from half hr to 1 hr. We choose angry birds and the floor is lava. I wouldn't recommend angry birds as it's just you using the wall like a big phone, which wasn't exciting. Overall the place was pretty fun and good way to get spend time.

    This was such a great place to bring some teenagers on a Saturday morning! It is right across from Phoenicia if you are familiar with downtown. We ate there after! I had three boys ages 14 and 15 and they had an absolute blast and it was worth the money because it was about an hour long. You will need to park in the parking garage and come up to the third floor inside a mall and pass the food court, and they will be on the left side. I definitely would recommend this place and they played the Ghostbusters game and had a blast ! Again, this was booked for 12 noon! Plenty of spots for adults to chill out and wait for their kids to finish. Highly recommend!

    Always a great experience. This was my first time to Houston's immersive game box, but we are not new to the franchise. This one was hidden a bit, but the staff was great . Parking is in a garage so try and come early. The staff was friendly and explained everything like we were novices. I loved it

    We were greeted as we entered by Simone which is always great. This was Such UNEXPECTED FUN. We tried the squid game immersive and this was such a fun futuristic way to play games as it takes the same challenges from the Netflix hit show and counteract him using a headset not a VR headset though

    Pros- super fun. The funnest workout possible hahah. The games are super entertaining and interactive. We had a blast. The employees are nice for the tiny bit of time they're walking you through the gameplay/instructions. We did Alien Aptitude. Cons- the price. $38 is a bit much. Especially when it's only for an hour of gameplay- it may seem unfair but of course I can't help but compare to other interactive places (like escape rooms) that charge less for either the same amount or even more gametime. The location is terrible. In what is still an essentially empty mall. Plus on top of the price for this you have to pay for parking in the same building. This place would've been better suited in the memorial or katy area. I'll recommend this place to those that don't mind dropping the money, and are possibly closer. Not sure when I'll go back to be honest, but that's mainly based on location/parking. I'll have to give their Willowbrook location a shot incase that one is more convenient for me.

They've expanded and have more seating space (parties) and have "breakout rooms" with different games. One of them had Dance Dance Revolution (for 2) which was nice. Made it more private. They also now offer beer (they only used to offer cider) which is a huge plus. The service was also great. The bartenders were friendly. I'll definitely be going again.

I've been there with a group of adults and also with a group of kids, and just note that while it's totally fine (and very fun!) for kids, it's probably better for adults--there's no kid security check-in at the front, and the building is very big, with lots of games. We ordered a pizza from a touchscreen by a food window, and the pizza was actually pretty good, much better than I was expecting at an arcade. The downside was that, in the lunch rush, it took 30-40 minutes for that one pizza to come out, though you could tell they were individually making each item in the big pizza oven. If you want drinks, you separately order those at the front, near where you check in, which is a little odd to have two separate food/drink ordering spots. When we walked in, we paid for a wristband, which gave "free" access to all of the arcade games, except for the claw machines, which required you to buy an extra card.

There are numerous signs clearly displayed letting people know it is not in fact an arcade. Even the company's voicemail message makes it clear. Joystix Classic Games & Pinballs is actually a working showroom that opens once a month for Pac-Man Fever Night, when every game is set to free play. It's one of the most fun and unique experiences in Houston. We hosted my wife's birthday party here, and it was fantastic. Renting the space was simple, the staff was awesome, and having the 1820 Lounge next door made it the perfect setup for a group celebration. Everyone had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking the showroom for events, you will not be disappointed. The owner is Charlie, he is outstanding. He is friendly, passionate, and deeply knowledgeable about pinball and arcade history. You can tell he truly cares about preserving the hobby and sharing it with others. He takes care of his customers and is very courteous to those who are considering a purchase. If you love pinball, classic arcades, or just want to do something different, Joystix is a must-visit Houston gem.

My family and I truly enjoyed every visit, and now they even have a bigger location in Bellaire! What really makes this place stand out is that they genuinely make the experience fun for everyone. They are very generous with prizes and don't make the games frustratingly difficult. Even my 2-year-old grandchild was able to play and win something We also love that they allow prize trades, and the points needed for prizes are actually reasonable compared to other places. Another thing we noticed is that their prize selections are actually QUALITY items--not cheap junk toys like you sometimes see at other arcades. That really made the experience feel worth it. Highly recommend this place for family fun, especially if you want an experience where you actually go home happy and with prizes We came home with so many prizes and memories that we still continue talking about after each visit.

I politely asked if they had a broom or something long so I could retrieve it myself, but from that point on, the staff started showing an unpleasant attitude. When I asked them to exchange the tickets for toys, they deliberately ignored me and insisted that I pay for each item separately instead of combining them and giving me the total number of tickets. When my child asked for help opening the toy packaging, they said they had nothing to open it with--although another staff member later helped my child open it. Their attitude ruined my family's enjoyable trip. I have been a loyal customer of this place and visit every time I come to Houston. I will never come back here again.

It is a bunch of computers with a gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. We had to ask a bunch of questions and ultimately decided on a hour of play. Let me first state I am not a gamer so this review is based on my non-gaming perspective. We selected two computers but one was not working so we had to shift so we could be next to each other. We chose our computer and had to setup our accounts, I think that took away from our hour. My kid wanted to play Fortnite and it took a while to login and get started but we were able to use accounts that were licensed from the store or you could use your own.

He'll happily help you oit.
