V-Room (Marina Square)

V-Room at Marina Square is a virtual reality arcade and VR escape room centre, and one of the cheaper ways to try VR properly in the city.

The catalogue is broad rather than deep: multiplayer shooters, Beat Saber, a Floor is Lava room, and VR escape games designed for small teams. Sessions are usually sold by the hour, which suits a group that wants to work through several titles rather than commit to one long experience. Staff set each game up and talk first-timers through the controls, which is most of the reason it works for people who have never worn a headset.

It suits friend groups, families with teenagers and anyone testing whether they like VR before paying premium rates elsewhere. Worth knowing when booking: two other escape room companies trade from the same unit number at Marina Square, so give the venue name rather than the address.
