This was by far the best way to spend Valentine's Day which is also my husbands birthday. He said it was the best gift :) We played Deadwood Mansion and it was the perfect amount of heart racing fun with zombies! Thank you to staff member, that I'm sorry I didn't get the name of who squeezed us a reservation last minute, and of course to Sky and Artem for making sure we had a great experience in game... and snapped the best photos of us playing too!! Oh oh!!! And they made a trailer even if us playing and the in game footage, crazy cool!! I am sooooo happy this place opened just in time and so close to home. We can't wait to come back and try the rest of the games!! read more

This VR place is something that we've been wanting to experience for a while. However, it was a bit disappointing. For the price that you pay to do this, you'd expect some top notch stuff but our experience had a lot of gear issues. It was a group of 5 of us and we all had some type of headphone/microphone issues. Some had low volume, some microphones didn't work, some couldn't hear others- one person actually couldn't hear anything at all. They just put the stuff on you and assume it works but our experience (and the experience of others) show otherwise. The weapons that they give you have buttons all over them and if you press one (at least in the zombie experience), it stops working. They don't let you hold the weapon beforehand so you can know how to hold it without accidentally pressing the buttons- especially when you don't get to hold it once your VR goggles are on. It took a while each time for them to come and reset the gun so you can continue playing- sometimes they had to pause the entire game. They were in their temporary location so that threw the whole vibe off (especially when you can hear the staff talking the whole time since its a small space) so hopefully their new location across the street fixes all these issues. read more

Had the best time with Kelsey tonight! She took good care of us in the Deadwood game. We highly recommend the experience. We will be back for sure. read more

Amazing experience! I stopped in and was not sure what to expect. I have tried VR in the past and didn't think it was all that exciting. This ended up being by far the most immersive VR I've ever tried. The staff was so helpful and welcoming! Will definitely be back with more friends! read more

Took our 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter along with my sons 13 year old best friend. They had soooo much fun the first game we let them play another. I would have joined in but I get vertigo easily. Awesome staff and a great adventure just 45 min from our hometown. Definitely worth the trip and experience. read more

Found out about this place and wow was it fun. After being cooped up for a year my boyfriend and I needed a fun date idea. I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was for a new VR user. Definitely worth the experience. read more

SO. FREAKIN. FUN! My boyfriend and I came here for a lil Saturday date night. We did Deadwood Mansion, and we killed SO MANY ZOMBIES. We were decked out in dope VR equipment that was the perfect amount of badassery without being too heavy. Frances was awesome. He got us all checked in, informed, and ready to go. Seriously I can't wait to go back. It's the biggest adrenaline rush and a great way to bond with your friends and family. I'm super stoked to try out all the other games they offer! read more

Very nice staff they explained the rules and how to play very well and me and my party had a very nice time

Shoutout to the number 1 guy there named Michael!! I came there for a first date and he made the experience very fun, and no pressure or tension at all. He knows what he's doing, very personable, and VERY VERY quick on his feet when it comes to the team names. I would come back just to get the service I got from him! read more

OMG this place is the Bomb Diggity! If you have been looking for some safe fun away from huge crowds of people Sandbox VR is the place for you! It is so clean and their staff is amazing and just as excited as you are to have a good time! Francis was our guide and he was so kind and upbeat! Their experiences feel so real and they have some amazing ones to choose from. I went with a group of 5 friends and we did the Deadwood Mansion to go with Spooky Season and we paid $33 each with an October promo which was a steal, but I would have totally paid full price because it was an unforgettable time. Also they make a cool video of everyone playing and will send it to you to share on your social media which is so awesome because other places make you pay for videos, but it's included with the experience. I will definitely be coming back to try the other experiences. read more

The Wife and I decided to try out the UFL game for Valentines. It is very fun and It. Is. A. Workout. You're going to end up sweating a bit if you pick UFL so wear something comfortable. Felix provided great commentary during the match. The controls were very user friendly and the instructions prior to the game are simple to understand. We will definitely be back to try the other games offered. read more

Went here on a whim, as we had some downtime during our vacation and wanted to try a VR experience. It was AWESOME..!! Our group of 5 did the Deadwood Mansion and everyone had an amazing time. Booking was easy since you can see all the time slots available online. I read reviews about being on time and since we were not from around here, we decided to get here first and book a session in the store. Parking was ok,.. we did have to drive around twice to find parking; although, after, we did find that there was more parking behind the center. The studio was nice & clean with good AC, which is much needed since the session left us pump and sweating!! The video and audio was amazing and it felt super immersive with the heat/fan, and vibrations..! We would definitely want to try Deadwood Valley!! The video clips you get at the end was really cool too! read more

Michael A was awesome! we did the new game deadwood valley and it was all our first time doing a vr game. minus the sweating from the headset, all went very well. read more

Wow Felix, thanks for making this such an AMAZING experience. I'm bringing all my friends here!

Wow! So much fun here. I didn't know what to expect and I definitely had a blast. I came with a group of 3 people and we played the Amber Sky game. read more

A bunch of thieves. Supposedly someone stole my credit card number, expiration date, and security code and used it to reserve a party of $329.13 online. Called my bank to resolve. Called the manager to let them know that someone was going to rip them off for a free service since charge was being disputed as it wasn't mine. The manager was unhelpful and laughed. They're used to accepting fraudulent funds. Fully aware that someone was using stolen money to pay for their goods, and they saw no problem with that. They don't even require you to put in a billing address and/or zip code before running a charge. No verification of ID. True criminals. Wouldn't doubt they're washing money. But I guess that's for a higher power to figure out. read more

The first two times we came we played deadwood mansion and had a blast. Game play was awesome and everything worked like it should. Today was a totally different experience playing deadwood valley. It lagged the entire time, guns had a mind of their own and my mic didn't work. They had to pause the game for about 5 minutes in the very beginning to try to get everything working correctly. Guns still didn't respond like they should and it was very frustrating. No apologies in the end for the issue we clearly had. Just tried to sell us another visit and a $50 box of candy. Not sure if it's the game, lack of up keep or both. Buyer beware. read more

Been to a few sandbox locations and I got to say I was pretty disappointed with this one. The new location is awful because the rooms are no longer enclosed. Other loud groups ruin the experience. Plus my headset kept hard shifting right. They said because I was along the edge when I was in the middle. Seemed like a calibration issue to me. Completely disregarded my input and I was sent on my way. read more
