Got Questions?

Here’s the questions people are asking about The Realm VR

Yes. You don’t need to be a gamer to enjoy virtual reality.

The Realm VR offers a wide range of experiences, many of which are designed for first-time users and non-gamers. Virtual reality goes far beyond traditional gaming and includes immersive experiences such as exploring underwater worlds, travelling through space or taking part in interactive adventures.

There are experiences suitable for all ages and ability levels, and staff are on hand to guide you through everything before you start. You can take things at your own pace and choose experiences that focus on exploration and fun rather than fast-paced gameplay.

You can bring up to three players per VR portal.

Each portal supports one player at a time, meaning players take turns. When one person finishes their session, another can step in and play.

Friends and family are also welcome to come along and watch, even if they don’t want to take part in the VR experience themselves.

VR Portals

Minimum age: 8 years old
Minimum height: 4 ft
Maximum players per portal: 4
Players take turns, with one person in VR at a time

VR Racers

Minimum age: 12 years old
Minimum height: 5 ft 3 in
Maximum weight: 130 kg (285 lb)
Maximum players per racer: 2

These limits are in place to ensure safety and comfort during the experience.
