After having tried VR at recent bachelor party, my husband surprised us with a reservation at Oasis. It was absolutely the most fun I've had in a long time.
I'm a casual gamer, but brand new to VR, so it took a good 15min of my hour timeslot to get used to handling the controls and navigating the menu. I kept on getting really excited and asking all these random questions and there was always someone on their helpful staff to answer them. I can tell they get asked alot of the same things by different people.
And there's so much to try! Our party did multiplayer co-op campaigns (shooting arrows at ogres) as well as explored our own interests (ninjaing fruit, swinging golf clubs, falling off planks, similating a vacation, flying though google earth maps). I think there's over 50 options to choose from, and from at least what I've tried, are all high quality games. Although each uses the controls a slightly different way (e.g. one game might need a button click to pick up an object while another needed you to raise your hand up and down), and some games were not always beginner friendly. The multiplayers were also a bit difficult to coordinate and may have been better if our VR stations were closer together.
We also tried their 4D locomotion zone and opted for a racing game. The seats really do shift pretty intensely in all directions and you can feel the wind in your face. I didn't feel like the controls were very responsive and definitely felt motion sick after 2 laps. Probably because I'm old and sensitive to vertigo but I would not do again.
The area itself is spacious and clean and fun. Screens everywhere, rainbow lights on electronics, artsy wallpaper that illustrates a world with angry birds & alice in wonderland & rocky balboa & a giant shark with jaws, but in a very natural way. They also have benches and coat racks (and should consider shelf/safe space for handbags) and even cocktail tables for catering or events.
All in all they have 20ish stations and seems popular with walk-ins, at least on the saturday morning we were there. I am definitely looking into planning a future event here! read more
