Three…read moreof us bought gift cards that came with promo codes so the only way to use them at once was to call someone to do this. 6 separate codes, and there was a small amount left over so we got their $4 water bottles. Game play - 30min felt like a reasonable time in the virtual world! I think 35min would've been perfect because there were 2 more games that we didn't get to play. High quality and didn't give me motion sickness. We got a headset, VR set, jacket, arm and ankle sensors, the whole shebang! Videos - production value was so cool and it's so fun to play back the time and to be actually able to see your character. The bad: expensive as heck! $60 per person + taxes and fees! For 6 people, it came to about $380! The sensors had a little bit of delay. My BF had to request assistance twice because his arm sensors had issues. Another in our party had a headset issue. The technical stuff just HAVE to be sorted out to be able to enjoy the whole experience. Timing - most of us came early and in that time, a staff member could've prepared us to think of a team name and choose characters so that it wouldn't be part of our actual time. But there was no one there to tell us anything beforehand or really even acknowledge our presence. Theme - we chose Squid Games and it's the only non-shooting option. Sandbox should definitely switch out some of the same old zombie or space call of duty ones to serve us some puzzle sessions. Get creative! Squid Games was extremely fun but I was so frustrated by the red light/green light one. My tracker wasn't really picking up my sensor when I touched a coin. Space - 4 people could move around comfortably but 6 people in the same size room was crowded! I think there should be slightly bigger rooms for the max number of people. You sweat a lot by the end so we just have to trust that they "clean" the fabric part of the goggles! If they do another promo, I want to go back! However, with the lack of puzzle options, unless they change up Squid Games, I don't know!

We would have to shout for assistance, by the third time I felt defeated. Towards the end I asked if I could get a refund for just me due to not being able to experience the game, how can you shoot zombies with no gun?? All he had to offer was a credit and said no refunds allowed. We paid close to $700 and to not even get an apology for a messed up experience or refund one person out of 15 people is crazy.... Beware if their system is malfunctioning they don't care they already got your money.

However, what really sold me were two things: (1) the customer service of the staff and (2) the arcade's strive for innovation and progression in enhancing the VR experience. The staff where very kind and accommodating, even with our large party of 7. They did their best to provide a wide range of games for us to play. In addition, after our time was up, my friends and I got to beta test their first multiplayer VR backpacks. Imagine being able to physically move around and play with your friends in an open space - awesome, right? This is a but a glimpse of what Escape VR at Oxford, MI can provide to the public. I'm only in Michigan for vacation this weekend, but this visit was the most memorable. As an engineer, I appreciate their innovation and profession in VR, and I hope the next time I visit MIchigan, I get to see how much this place has grown.

We came to Arena 51 to celebrate... my husbands 30th Birthday. Yep, you heard that right. It was a…read morenostalgia thing for him and his buddies, so we gathered about 24 adults and took over 2 games one afternoon. We couldn't reserve a spot because of parties, but we really didn't have that long to wait. There are plenty of games to occupy you. Next time I need a kids party venue, I'll look into this- the prices are super affordable. The staff was awesome. Seriously, so helpful and friendly and organized. They run the place easily. The 'course' or whatever you call it was really cool. Lots of ramps and hiding spaces and plenty of room for 30 ish people at a time. Very safe and easy to understand and a ton of fun. My main concerns going in- *Can the harness accommodate larger adults? YES! Several of our guests are plus sized and they had no problem strapping the vest on. * can my 5 yr old niece play? YES! She was too small for a vest, but they gave her a gun and kid had a blast! (See what I did there?) Highly recommended. Great times

The first had us clinging to each other walking on cobblestones high above the water. But, the second game we had a weapon to shot off the zombie attack. Stellar graphics and just all out fun with all 8 of us shouting out commands as we were bombarded by the life like full size zombies. A++ for the overall experience in the VR arena. Plus, the Boss complex has other fun activities to entertain from high-speed Go-Karts to their caged Ax throwing. Premier spot for family, friends or even your work function with a large private reception area. Can't wait to suit back up in the VR Arena...

The company Christmas party was hosted here…read more The pizza was easily the most bland, improperly cooked and made with what tasted like pancake batter I have ever had the displeasure of eating. Terribly overpriced (think airport pricing) and poorly made drinks. The staff was very young and inexperienced while the "manager" on shift that night was obviously exceptionally high (could tell from his smell and severely impaired motor skills). I don't care for these types of establishments in general (game based experience for adults) but this was so bad that I feel compelled to warn others to keep your distance.

One of the tables has a bit of a slant to it and when you shoot a ball it does not go straight. There is no rake so forget using that to make the hard shots right now. There was only one rack for two tables and it is broken. I'm getting sick of going there and having very substandard equipment. If this goes on much longer I won't be back. The felt on one table is ripped and it could have been repaired quite a while back. There's a nice VR game there but the headset has a messed up strap. Last time I was there it was broken so only one of the two positions was usable to play. They did some ghetto fix for it but it's really not up to par. When that place is busy it's packed and I know they have the money for maintenance. There's no reason for this.
