I wasn't familiar with Immersive Gamebox before our visit. I've heard of similar interactive gaming…read moresetups, but I didn't know IGB had a location in Arlington--or what to expect from the experience. I went with my niece and was genuinely surprised by how much fun we had! The games were interactive, challenging, and a total blast. We laughed a lot, got competitive, and I'm pretty sure people in the other rooms (or "boxes") could hear us having a great time. I'm really glad we gave it a try, and I'd definitely go back. If you have kids or are looking for a unique family outing, I'd say the passes are well worth it. One quick tip: Know exactly where you're going before you arrive. I didn't realize the location is on the outside of the mall, which wasn't a big issue for me, but it could be frustrating if you're tight on time. The confirmation emails do a solid job providing directions--if you're driving and parking. But if you're getting dropped off (like I was via Uber), the signage and location can be a little tricky to spot. A minor hiccup, but something to be aware of.

I would give this experience a 3.5 rating…read more I enjoyed the experience overall, but there were several tech issues during my allotted time - audio wasn't working, headsets weren't fully charged, etc. The person running the experience gave us some extra time to account for the tech issues, but it definitely took away from the enjoyment. The games also don't really have good tutorials when you start them, so it took some time to figure how to properly play most of them. It's about $50 per person for an hour of game time, which seems a bit excessive for what you get. It's a cool experience to try once but not sure I'd do it again for the same price.

The staff was super helpful and I needed the help because I needed some refreshers throughout to remember how the remote control works. It was really cool to feel like we were actually in the space of the escape room. We did the prison room and I thought I was actually in a prison which made the experience feel more real. My headset stopped working a couple of times but that was towards the very end and it was quickly resolved. We were offered the opportunity to extend our time. I did feel a little bit of motion sickness but I also was having eye issues that day so not sure if that was causing the VR or my eye situation.

My review is not about his efforts as much as it's about the quality of the machines. He seemed to be a bit unsure on how to manage certain games in terms of set up and overall navigation. My headset and VR space kept glitching where I would be stuck at the Home Screen while I was actively in a game or my screen would go blue. My controls frequently glitched in the middle of a game before they went out completely. He was having to bounce from my room to my friend's room while also accepting customers. It was just too much for one person to manage. We didn't finish our game time out of that frustration alone. I couldn't see myself coming back for those reasons.

I booked a party for my son, I picked a time and was told just email if anything needs to change and if we wanted to add another hour that would be fine also. I emailed the next morning saying I need to change the time... no response. I went back there a few days later to talk to the person, he never came to the front. Sent another email that evening..no response. So I came in early the day of the party and he tells me he's had a busy week and didn't get to the emails but my time change is fine. I also point out that there is no phone number and he has me scan a digital card that still has no phone number. The party time was 4 pm, granted my son and friends didn't start coming until 4:05 but there was someone else still in there playing. I'm supposed to have the whole spot. About 4:15 the man starts helping the boys get set up. 1 man, multiple children. Eating into your time because they cannot play anything without him setting it up. Too much for 1 person, at the end he did say there was supposed to be a helper, but from another yelpers review I'm not too sure about that. 6 pm came and he's asks if we were doing another hour, I said no. But my husband did ask about getting the 15 mins of time that was wasted, he already had another group in and said we could wait for them and then come back. I said no, because that honestly made no sense. Price is great. The man working is friendly. But they need to be more responsive and need to have more than one person working a party. The back room/party space is also very small,I think the website says parties can be up to 20 people,but ain't no way.

Another great experience with different techniques and again well done with just enough help mixed with freedom to work. We are already looking for more family blacksmithing classes to do. As a note, when I went in December it was a perfect temperature inside with the heat as it was cold outside. In April... even on a cooler day it was very hot inside (which is not a surprise given the heat of the fires) so make sure to dress safely but appropriately. They do have water cups and a refill station for bottles as well as ice for when you are too warm and need to cool off. Well done and other than I wish it was closer to me, zero complaints.

It's could be a little overwhelming at first but everything was explained so well and the entire project was broken down into easily achievable steps. And if you get stuck the instructor is right there to help you. Our instructor was Kyle. He was not overbearing or boring at all! His enthusiasm and encouragement went a long way towards making us feel comfortable. Plus he offered some expert help to make our knives go from butter basic to pointy kitchen. Some need to know info - everything is provided (protective eye wear, aprons, gloves and I did see ear plugs). They have cups and a water fountain but I would probably bring my own water bottle. There are breaks. There are bathrooms that are clean. It is very loud. It is hot. It is hard work and you will most likely be sore the next day. It could be addictive.
