    We were gonna go for my birthday but when we realized that it was $57 each for only 30 minutes, we decided to go level 99 instead. As algorithm goes, I started getting SanboxVR clips on my social media and I made a simple comment that we would've loved to go but for "30 minutes for $200+ " The comment got blocked

    Our family was looking for a fun activities we could do and Sandbox VR was a great choice! We arrived ready to play and chose Rebel Moon! It was 15 minutes of fighting bad guys and monsters! There were four of us signed up so we had two random guests join us. I loved how we were able to get three videos of us playing even with the "Netflix" opener and music. This was a great experience and we will definitely plan to go again!

    We loved it ! We took out college aged children and had a great time playing together! Two suggestions: take off any jackets- it got hot- it was like a cardio workout! Because I am asthmatic, I should have taken some puffs on my inhaler first. Cons: pretty expensive for the 5 of us. They also restrooms, have water and snacks for sale

    We didn't have any problems signing up online or picking a time slot. We parked nearby and we've done a sandbox vr in Vegas before so we knew the ins and outs mostly. There was only one attendant and a lot of people so it took a little bit to get everyone situated. The only issue I really ran into is during the experience, I disconnected 3 to 4 times and my husband also got disconnected a couple times. Overall a fun experience though.

    Adam was a great host and helped walk us through all the steps needed for an enjoyable experience. We played Squid Game and had lots of fun! I was worried I might get a headache from the VR but everything went smoothly.

    Was a really great 1st time experience. Received excellent assistance from Adam. Will surely be returning.

    One big party ahead of us went into the Squid Game experience and sounded like they were having a blast.

    Oops, can't believe I haven't written a review! I've been here when it first opened back in 2022…read moreand a few times since then. I love the location. It's easy to get to and appreciate that parking is simple via the attached garage (albeit the garage is interesting and could be the scene of a horror film). There are ample food options as well since this place is nestled in Ballston with the outdoor area on Wilson crawling with restaurants. If you need something quick, fast casual spots and fast food in general are offered in the food court inside of the mall. Now for the actual game review. It's best to book in advance online. Things are super easy and much faster; you also do not have to pick a game right away. So far I've played the Floor is Lava, a more family oriented one with my nephew, and most recently Squid Games with my nieces. Note that the latter is better suited for older kids. My youngest niece who is 5 had a couple of issues maneuvering her avatar during Squid Games. Of the three I played, Squid Games has been my favorite, naturally. Youngest niece kept dying every time she stepped foot. I was telling her to go left go left and she screamed back at me that she hadn't learned left or right yet, then proceeded to get picked off. Game aside, please note you are welcome to purchase drinks from the room. If you are playing a game that's more than 30 mins, note you will need water. There is a lot of moving around. Also note, sadly the water is Dasani so prepare to have your tastebuds assaulted.

    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.

    We went to VR Zone DC for my son's 13th birthday last Friday. We can't wait to go back!! Will at VR…read moreZone was awesome! He helped everyone have a fantastic time. My son and his cousins and his friend had a blast playing the games for 90 minutes. We have been to other VR Arcades in the past, on the west coast and I have to say this one was the best. All us adults can't wait to go without the kids! lol! Perfect place for a date too! Fight Zombies or relax on the beach or take an underwater dive in the ocean and see beautiful jellyfish surrounding you! They had an awesome selection of games and tons of them! It was magical and I literally can't wait to go back. The staff was awesome! Will emailed me later letting us know my niece forgot her eyeglasses there, how awesome is that!? So many people would have just tossed them or not taken the time to email anyone. I was impressed by his patience and professionalism dealing with 3 teens and 1 8 year old who were a bit needy. They have escape rooms too and one was a Stranger Things Themed room! It was awesome!! Go to VR Zone if you want a cool, unique experience.

    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.

    It was just ok. Came randomly on Friday for some fun and figured we'd pop in real quick to play…read moresome games. The guy at the front was very friendly and attentive. 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 will start by saying the kids did enjoy themselves which is the only reason this place gets 3…read morestars. 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.
