OTHERWORLD VR | London Victoria

🏠 The space is fantastic! Very futuristic, lots of neon colors, feels like a black mirror episode in the good sense! 🎮 The gaming was superb. I saw reviews mentioning bugs and load screens for minutes, but my experience was simply perfect! Everything was working fine, there were no errors or delays. I highly recommend the Zombie game, the "Arizona Sunshine"! It's a FPS and escape room game. Super immersive experience. 💵💶 It's quite pricey, you pay £45 per 55mins. But for the experience of trying it, I believe it's worth it.

Decided to try OTHERWORLD Victoria in early May, and it was amazing. Firstly, I would like to extend a massive thank you to Sam and P, who were beyond helpful. They were both very welcoming and considerate, which made the experience twice as enjoyable. Would come back just for them :) Goes beyond just putting on a VR headset. Entire area is designed like a futuristic airport terminal. Even the bathrooms were on theme, with mirrored walls and moody lighting. The pods themselves were fairly spacious and added to the immersion of entering a different world. Padded walls helped dull any accidental bumps that happened while playing. Mix of fun single and multilayer games. Highly recommend the zombie one if you're up for a scare. Was a big fan of the initiation sequence and introduction to the island and the overall exploration aspect of selecting games. In-game coins can be used to purchase drinks afterwards, which was a nice bonus. The sign in process was interesting. You have to download an app on your phone, log a ticket, and create your own avatar. This was quite cool to see in game, but I'd recommend leaving enough time to complete this process so you're not in a rush. Overall, excellent experience, service, and atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in VR or wants to indulge in some escapism.

I took my boyfriend here for a birthday surprise and he loved it!! It's such a cool, well thought out place, the staff are lovely and just the whole atmosphere gets you ready for your experience to start! The games are incredible, we loved the Arizone Sun game which is a zombie game that maybe some gamers know from the PS, such a great experience and we can't wait to come back again!!

Visited here on a Wednesday afternoon. It was so amazing! As soon as we entered we were welcomed by friendly staff who explained the whole process clearly. Being in the game was such a fun experience, myself and my friends loved it and wish we had longer to play ☺️ so definitely book at least 55 minutes. You points you score in the games can go towards your drinks but we only got £2 off ours but it’s a great idea. The self-pouring drinks is an awesome touch and they have a good selection of drinks to choose from. This was so fun and I definitely recommend - it was a first time for us and we quickly caught on, so you should book!

Lovely location and very friendly and helpful staff. However I would not recommend this experience due to the constant issues I had with the equipment (Joycons) disconnecting every few minutes which made it impossible to play any games as you need to use them to navigate the world, use the menu and call for help. After multiple issues which took ages to sort out each time, my friend and I were reassured that we would get more time added, but they did not follow up with their promise. And out of an hour we only got to enjoy maybe 5-10 minutes of gameplay. Not to mention the image in the headset was quite blurry and made us both feel quite unwell. A free drink each for the issues we encountered was offered, but I feel that perhaps there are better alternatives out there. Definitely dont go there for any special occasion, if one of you has a technical issue it will be an experience ruined for all. On a plus side I loved the self help bar and the place was nice and clean and fairly quiet during the weekday to enjoy an afternoon drink with a friend.

A surprise booking as we were in the area and wanted to do something different. I wasn't sure what to expect as the name doesn't give it away by too much nor does the website so I had no expectations. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by the friendly staff and they explain everything really well. They reassure you to have fun and they will always help if you get stuck. Plenty of VR GAMES to play and the zombie shooting is by far the most we enjoyed. We booked 55 minutes and honestly, we had so much fun, I wish we booked it for longer, time does fly by. All the points you score in the games go towards your drinks and plenty of option available to choose from. First time here and I'm already looking to go back, I definitely recommend it. Over 12s are allowed so the take them and they will have a great time.

Absolutely incredible. Each member of the team was so friendly and helpful. Full guidance given and additional help is available should you get stuck on a game. The pods really help immerse you in the experience. The games are varied and offer great enjoyment. We had a 40min session but the lady let us have an extra 10mins for free! Will 100% be back again

Good overall experience. Very cool looking place, I would call the experience very similar to what I imagine Stars Wars places to be like, especially as the staff are dressed like Jedi's. The theme is brilliant and well designed. The onboarding experience is good and clear. The games themselves are fairly straightforward, a bit tricky to control at first, but fairly easy to pick up. I probably lost about 15mins in game play trying to work out the controls. Once I got the hang of it, I loved the game, tried 3 games in total from a 55 minute experience. The Zombie game was by far the most fun game to play. I enjoyed the experience, and will definitely return. I think there needs to be a clear point scoring system, like the points earned floating above heads. Within my group there was unfortunately a technical glitch, which meant one of the players was named incorrectly. The in game support was excellent, and made sure we didn't waste time walking around aimlessly. Highly recommend this experience, slightly expensive, but worth the try.
