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

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.

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

AwesoMe time fun place

Growing up, I never got into the Nintendo Wii, but Immersive Gamebox felt like what I imagine Wii +…read moreescape room vibes would be. It was surprisingly fun. Some parts of the game were a little confusing, but that's what made it better. You have to rely on team strategy, communication, and logic to get through each round. Otherwise, you're not making it far. For a Sunday, it wasn't crowded at all. The check-in process was very straightforward. Our game started about 30 minutes late because we were waiting for someone in our party, but the host was super gracious and still gave us the full time since no one was scheduled after us. I was confused at first why drinks were even offered, but by round three it got warm, and I absolutely saw the need to hydrate. I loved that they had a tripod so you could record your own footage, and the boomerang they take of your group at the end was a nice touch. One tech hiccup though happened when some of the headbands weren't picking up my friends' movements. The host explained afterwards that it was likely because of their hair. Something to keep in mind for my big hair girlies... Definitely more fun than I expected. Would go back for a date, group hang, or team-building session. Good for all ages.

Why 5 stars? Because there are fewer things in life that my son has loved more…read more --- --- --- I had known about Immersive Gamebox for a while, but never really put a lot of thought into going. But with mom out of town for the weekend, I was looking for stuff to do with my son, and it actually seemed like a pretty solid option. He's 6 years old and plays (kid-friendly) Squid Games worlds on Roblox. It's one of his favorite things to do, actually. So when I saw that they had a Squid Games thing here, I was pretty intrigued. It was noted to be 12+ though, so I opted to not book in advance and just ask the people working here when I arrived, if it would be appropriate for him. They all universally said that it would probably be too challenging for a 6 year old. So we booked Paw Patrol instead. Walking in on a Saturday meant that we had an hour wait, which was no problem because we had plenty to do at the mall in the meantime. He absolutely loved it. He hasn't stopped talking about it in the 24 hours since we finished. It was definitely easy enough for him to figure out how to play, other than the 2nd to last game where you were supposed to herd ducks and fish into their body of water. Even I struggled with that game. But the rest of it was very manageable. It's not the cheapest way to spend an afternoon, but we will definitely be back to do this again in the future.

Interesting concept. Not VR but more like augmented reality. Staff is super friendly. You can…read morewatch folks playing before deciding as play rooms are visible for spectating.

That would've been fine--except the 40 minutes turned into a full hour. We ended up stuck behind a large 6‑year‑old's birthday party, even though the course itself only had about four people actually playing. Instead of letting us play through or staggering groups, they just had us stand around waiting with no explanation. When we started to play golf, they handed us gaming cards for the arcade, which was very confusing why didn't they give it to us in the beginning so we had something to do, but we didn't come for the arcade, and we weren't doing anything--they just didn't manage the flow well at all. A few positives: the bathrooms were clean, and the place itself is visually fun. But be aware there's no real food available--just tiny bags of chips--and no alcohol. The only drinks for sale are canned sodas. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and not worth the hassle. If you're planning to go on a weekend, especially with a Groupon, I'd say it's not worth the discounts.

I might just have to do a national barcade tour. We were here on Sunday afternoon, so there were…read morepeople everywhere, but I still had a blast. This place serves food, drinks, and has plenty of games! You can either buy your tickets in person or online beforehand. It's $12 for entry and you can stay as long as you want and come and go with unlimited game access. From what I can tell, some days have specials. Only additional purchases are food and drinks, obviously. They have pizzas, quesadillas, salads, dessert pizzas, and pizza burritos. I tried that last thing because I had never heard of it -- think of it as like a glorified hot pocket. It was delicious! I had a salad to balance things out, and I'll surprised by how hefty it was! Since I had never had their cider before, I decided to do a flight of five. When I placed my order, I was expecting them to give me a tray of five 1 oz pours... But instead, they told me the flight will consist of five 5 oz cups.... WHOA. So I grabbed the first two and had to come back for the rest after I finished. Every single one was delicious, but I really liked the mango habanero and the one with the coconut. Now, the games... I rarely come to a barcade that has TWO Guitar Hero setups. And they had plenty of classic cabinets, air hockey, Mario Kart, shooting games... Claw machines... It was quite epic. By the way, the claw machines did cost extra, and I peeped a party room in the back that had those interactive team floor games! That would be fun to reserve for a special occasion. This place really impressed me. If you enjoy games in a bar setting, I would recommend this spot if you are in the Houston area.

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.
