Highly, HIGHLY recommend this place!!…read more I kept seeing videos of this place on Tiktok and it got me hooked! Their videos really lived up to it's hype. They have all sorts of games that challenged your agility, problem solving and speed. I really enjoyed the super grid, hide (gave squid game vibes), and hoops room the most. You can play competitively or co-op and they have I think 10 levels for each game. They also gave us a locker to put all our stuff in. It was $25 plus tax for 75 mins of gaming. It was very fun and tiring but I would definitely come back again. I can't wait til they open up their Toronto location!

Easy to…read morefind with plenty of parking, Activate is a gaming center with interactive gaming and puzzle rooms. You can work as a team or compete against each other in each mini game. I enjoyed that the experience is timed and let's you visit and play as many of the over 20 games as possible. I also enjoyed the automated process when you enter a game with your group. You scan your wrist band at the check in screen where the game is and you follow the prompts. Once your game is done you are instructed to leave the room, so the next group can play. However, there were times where people would take their time leaving and would ruin the start of our game. We spoke to the front desk and they apologized and knew that this is an issue they are working on a solution. Games includes laser mazes, target shooting, hoops, puzzle rooms and more! Highly recommend if you are looking for a team building activity or a night out with friends

Have you been immersed in a free-roaming virtual reality experience? If not, you have to try this!…read moreAnd no, you won't get motion sickness or get bitten by real zombies. I'll start off by mentioning that we do have the Oculus at home, so me and my kids have used the headset and controls before. My kids are 6yo and 8yo and are under the recommended age of 10yr, but both fared well at this arena. The headset was a bit big, but Shawn (owner of this Burlington location) recommended that they bring a toque to help make it fit better. You do have to book a time slot for your experience and I hear that their weekends can fill up pretty quickly. We got to the complex at our scheduled time (it is housed within this plaza that offers swimming, dancing, coding classes) and after leaving our things in the locker, we were brought in a LED-lit room to begin our orientation. You do have to pay attention as the video also gives you instructions on the games that you'll be playing. Our first game was Engineerium. This game does not require use of the Controller. All you need to do is follow the path. The stepping stones are constantly moving and some parts make it look as if you're walking upside down! The headset is for you to communicate with your teammates and for the staff to guide you if you get stuck. I really enjoyed this quick 15m game. Our next 30m game was Singularity. You do need the Controller for this game and it is quick a big piece of equipment that you need to keep tight to your body the entire time. I found it tiring to be constantly eliminating robots and drones, but then again, I'm not a gamer. It was a fun experience for the entire family and my 6yo is already asking when we can go back. Shawn, the owner, was very helpful and answered questions that I had before going in via Instagram. The staff were friendly and helpful and the arena was very clean (no shoes allowed). I highly recommend this for a group outing, 10/10 must try!!

The rec room locations in Canada had really terrible reviews and we decided to look local. Vivid's website was pretty easy to use and book our appointments, we went with the $30 pp premium for an hour (all the standard games + some others). I suggest coming earlier to get used to the controls, it's a little different. We had so much fun, highly recommended. I do love the free classic arcade games in the front that we can play as we wait. Thoughtful touch. Wish it was located more downtown near all the bars and nightlife, this place would be an even bigger hit. Looking forward to the new developments. I'd def come back again.

Because of the price of owning on…read moreitself is expensive, this is a great opportunity for people who never experience VR gaming before. I forgot the name of the games that I played, but definitely try the one where you shoot the robots. It was so exciting and a bit scary as the game went on. You had the ability to move around and shoot them. Another game that I played was fighting off the demons. Had a blast killing them!! But the one down side of it was that, we weren't able to move around. Just station at one spot, but it was still fun. I'm probably the worst gamer...not coordinated at all and have a high chance that I will die first. But it was pretty easy to pick up, so I can imagine that anyone like me can have fun too. Before it was our turn, we were waiting on a group of 3 kids. Anyone could see their excitement in playing the game. It's perfect for all ages, and another way for parents to bond with the children. The customer service was great! I believe his name was Ken... Could be wrong. But he was super helpful for us beginners.

This company for their lack of common business practices and lack of customer care or communication is disingenuous and not worth your money.

Very slick, clean and organized place, great selection of games and the staff are wonderfully helpful. If you need help getting used to the equipment, they're there. If you just want to log in and do your thing, they give you space but will pop in on mic once in a while to make sure you're comfortable. The price is a little steep for me so I can't go as often as I"d like, but the two times I've been thus far have been a blast. I really think it's a great place to give VR a try if you've never played it before! One thing I wanted to stress is cleanliness. When you walk in, the smell reminded me of a hospital - which to me was great because that assures me that they keep the equipment clean and sanitized and I had no qualms about using it - I was completely at ease. They also have a pretty good referral and monthly membership program that gives you all sorts of discounts - I used mine to bring my sisters and everyone got 15% off which REALLY helped convince them to try it out, lol. All in all, a great place, come try it out!

Note - before entering the space you'll need to take off your shoes so you will be shoeless throughout the entire facility (including the communal washroom - which was an interesting experience lol but not the end of the world) The staff were really friendly and great at getting us all set up and explaining how the games work. They have a large selection of games to choose from. I definitely recommend going for at least an hour or more, especially if it's your first time, because we found that getting used to the mechanics and learning the games takes some time. Once we got into it we had a blast playing the games! Overall it was a really fun experience and we definitely want to come back again to try more games!
