    Great experience playing squid games at immersive Gamebox! I will have to say that our interactive wall was not working for a couple of the games. We were able to alert staff and they tried restarting. It still didn't work so they moved us to a different room. I also felt that some of the game directions were not thorough enough making it hard to know what you were supposed to be doing. If I hadn't watched squid games I probably would have been completely confused. Overall a great experience but a few kinks to work out with technology. Staff were very helpful. They were able to push back the time several hours when we noticed we couldn't make it at the selected time. I also thought it was cool that they offered drinks and snacks that could be delivered to the rooms!

    Boy oh boy!!! What a fun experience for the entire family! My boys absolutely loved it. Parking was easy and great at the Oak Brook Mall. They have lockers where you can store your jackets and valuables while you enjoy a fun time. We picked 30 mins of Angry Birds + 30 mins of Shaun the Sheep. We all had a great time. It was teamwork for the family. We laughed our butts off. Definitely a wonderful time for the entire family. If you are a fan of Angry Birds, definitely give this game a try. Fun for all ages. Adam was so helpful and wonderful and I already gotten tons of friends who wanted to know what this Immersive Gamebox is all about. We really enjoyed this as a family and a great time together and tried something new. We will definitely be back for the other games but today I got 2 hilarious GIFs to take home with me so I get to laugh and remember this experience for a long long time!

    Your next game night needs to be here! It's fun and something different to do that will guarantee a night full of laughs! AND you'll be able to start identifying who should be your survival partner They have games for almost all ages - which is awesome because you can go here for a family night out, take a group of friends or enjoy a date night doing something out of the ordinary. The fully immersive experience allows you all to put your skills together and navigate through challenges to climb the leaderboard and win! We played Squid Games and had sooooooo much fun and had even more fun putting our heads together and trying to solve puzzles to make it to the next round. Tip - get something to drink bc it gets hot!!!! lol Round up your crew and go have a blast!

    Had a great time at immersive games. We selected the squid game's virtual. There is an option to order beverages every 15 minutes, which were cool. But a little expensive. I like the fact that you only have to wear a head band which tracks your movements. There games were extremely interactive and fun. Overall, we would definitely do it again.

    Looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night? Grab you friends and head to Immersive Gamebox for a fun experience! When you're here it's like your transformed into a virtual world. They offered a variety of immersive games, such as Tetris and Angry Birds. We played Squid Games. That lasted us an hour. There are some games that are only 30 mins as well. There were lockers to store your belongings while everyone enjoyed themselves. When you walk into your gaming space. It did feel a little tight for the 6 of us but we still managed to have enough space to play the game. Squid Games was a fun but it did get a little frustrating because of how sensitive the head sensor was. At the end we were able to do a little GIF video that they send to you for memories. It gets pretty warm in there, and even hotter when you're moving around, so don't wear anything to heavy. Will be back to try the other games out.

    Our kids have been dying to try this place since it opened and we decided to give it a try for our sons birthday. Booking through the website was super frustrating because it kept making me work through the whole booking process and entering my payment information and then it would just sit... and then it would say the time slot was booked. I did try to call but the phone said something about them not taking live calls? I ended up having to book from someone else's phone, which made me nervous about how things would go once we arrived. Once we arrived, everyone was friendly & helped us get set up with lockers, waivers and our game room. We had a wide range of ages and tried to pick the best games to accommodate but I think better website explanations might have helped. We played angry birds and the coin temple. One hour was more than enough time, the kids were definitely done but I think the adults might come back and try the squid games on our own. Sam helped us at the desk and was great!

    My boyfriend and I took my two nephews (13/15) during Christmas break- they loved it and had fun. The games were easy to understand, super interactive, lots of movement, all players had equal chances to play, and you could easily order food and beverage while playing. Over all this was a good time, would def go again with friends. This could be a fun family activity but you could also enjoy this activity with all adults if you are looking for something fun to do with friends or need a fun double date activity.

    YES YES YES!!! This was seriously such a fun time - like for real. We were a group of 5 - 3 adults and 2 kids ages 10 + 11, and let me tell you, not only the kids loved this but the adults too! You get your own room (the game box) and play a series of competitive games. You wear a headset that contains sensors to connect to the game on the wall and your body is essentially the game piece - so when you move, the game piece moves and are given instructions on how to play. 5 people was not too many for the room and we were able to complete all the games. We chose an Alien game which had 4 games, each lasting 11 minutes. The 4 games were all different but you were given instructions before each game began. The games were easy to understand and are fun for all age groups. There are also music and lights flashing in the game box just to be aware and wear cool clothing because it can get warm with all the movement. You can also adjust the music in the room if it gets too loud. Honestly - I'm not joking, this is one of the funnest group actrivities I've done in the area and it's a really good option for groups and when you can't find anything to do in the winter ;0. Seems somewhat affordable with prices around $20/person (which compared to axe throwing is great!). We will be back!

    Ask the Community - Immersive Gamebox

    Can 2 1/2 year olds play anything here?

    All the reviews were groups or couples, is this something that one person can walk in and have fun doing? Is 45 minutes enough time?

    Is this something to do with 5 and 8 yr old children?

    Absolutely!

    For parties can you take in juice boxes? We get pizza or cupcakes but is juice allowed?

    Hi Johnna, You are not allowed to bring in drinks from outside. We have drinks here! Food Packages are only for purchase with a Venue Hire.

    Can you do a walk in?

    Yes, you can just walk in.

We did the zombie killing one and it was SO fun. 30 minutes flew by and I could've played for another 2 hours. The entrance is a little alcove, follow the signs up the stairs. Definitely make sure you book your session ahead of time. Once everyone arrives, you must sign the waiver (which you can also do ahead of time). Then they take you to your room you'll be in. The lovely workers strap on your wrist and ankle sensors, they then take you into the room you'll be in, the workers come in again and put the vr goggles on your head for you, then they hand you your weapons. The zombie one was pretty realistic, prob not for minors, but great fun for adults! I def will be back to play the Squid Game one. Great idea for birthday parties or get togethers. The workers do a good job of disinfecting everything you use as well. We parked in the lot across the street, street parking is pay to park and seems pretty tough to find a spot.

When they say they open at 1:00, they open at 1:00 sharp. We arrived a little early and found the doors locked. We went to another business across the parking lot to kill 1/2 hour before we could get in. The first thing you do when you walk in is watch a brief video explaining what you will experience and how to use the VR headsets. Then, you must sign a waiver of liability before you are allowed to continue. Essentially, you waive any liability of injuries caused by falling, vertigo, epileptic seizures due to strobes, etc. I actually read the waiver before signing. It seems pretty iron clad. When you start, you meet your virtual tour guide. They walk you through the exhibit, which is really one big empty room. My one issue is there are multiple groups that go through at the same time. There isn't any way to keep from running into other groups and we almost collided with other groups several times. The program is well done. We had a walking tour of the exterior of the pyramid and surrounding places, as well as the interior of the pyramid. The resolution of the VR was excellent. I wouldn't say I felt like I was actually inside a pyramid, but it was well done. Pay attention to the warnings you receive. I felt dizzy a few times and almost fell once. I found myself shuffling my feet to avoid stepping on VR obstacles (yes - silly, I know). But take seriously that you need to pay attention. They have ways for you to let them know if you need help, which is good. Fortunately, I didn't need any help. So, in all, it was a good experience. They have other exhibits, too. But given the dizziness, I'm not sure I would go again. But some of the exhibits look interesting so I may give it another go.

    This exceeded my expectations. I'm an experienced VR gamer so I was concerned that it would seem…read morelike something I could just download and do at home. But this is a bit more ambitious than that. The "play" area is very large, way larger than any of us normally has access to for any kind of indoor recreation. Once you've been waiver'd and orientated, you will wear a VR headset similar to the kind you might have at home. No hand controllers though. You will be immersed in a situation and directed to walk around, with some degree of freedom to inspect your virtual surroundings more closely. A story of some sort plays out, which you simply observe without any interaction, but you are fully immersed; it's like you're there. We had booked the Egyptian pyramids experience ("Horizon of Khufu"), and we enjoyed it enough that we reupped for the second experience they had at the time with the dinosaurs ("Life Chronicles"). Again, as someone experienced with VR gaming, the quality of the graphics was not particularly impressive but it got the job done. And I can tell that some impressive under-the-hood logistics worked well to allow dozens of concurrent people to use the same space. You see "ghosts" of others that are nearby to help you avoid bumping into them. I was impressed that it knew one of the ghosts was in a wheelchair; it seems like very thoughtfully-designed tech. If immersive educational exhibits interest you, you will probably quite like this. If you are turned off by VR, you might be pleasantly surprised. The discomfort that is sometimes experienced with at-home setups is greatly offset by the fact that you physically walk around in a large space.

I was here on Good Friday since I had the day off. I made my gaming partner go early because those times were discounted and boy, am I glad I did! By the time our 90 minutes were up, the place was getting PACKED. It made my heart happy to see so many families doing something active and together! Like I stated before, I have been coming since it opened, and I appreciated in this visit that the instruction screens were updated, some of the rooms that we not working on my previous version were up and running again, etc. I also appreciate an upgrade to their reward system! Before, they used to hand you items (a water bottle, a basketball, etc.), but now you earn coins and can "spend" them on the items of your choice. I prefer that so I can pick items that I will actually use! (The aforementioned water bottle and basketball were donated to my local charity shop.) I chose a personal bracelet that Activate uses to track your time and points while you are actively participating in the games. The facilities have bathrooms, access to clean drinking water, free lockers to protect your belongings, etc. This time, too, I wore my fitness tracker for kicks and giggles and I burned almost 500 calories in 90 minutes of fun.

For Mondays and holidays, it's best to check back because the prices do change. I highly recommend booking on the website instead of blindly going there. The slots fill up fast. The games are short so you don't have to wait long to go into that room. The room types are arena, climb, grid, hoops, mega laser, hide, control, mega grid, strike, portals, and press. The staff were all friendly and helpful. There's no issue with finding parking.
