Question 1

How long does each session last?

Accepted Answer

Each game is 60 minutes of actual play (the booking takes up 75 minutes with the welcome, the lockers and the headset adjustment) and you can also book a 2-hour session. On arrival, your Game Master explains the controls before you start.

Question 2

What is the minimum age? Is there gore?

Accepted Answer

From 14 years of age. There is blood and violence typical of the genre (it is a shooting game against zombies) and the final decision on whether a minor plays is up to their family: if you have any doubts, write to us or call us before booking.

Question 3

Is it really scary?

Accepted Answer

It is action and tension, not psychological horror: there are hordes, dark stretches and wave jump scares, but what dominates is the adrenaline of playing as a team. Our team adjusts the difficulty to suit your group.

Question 4

Can you play with 2, 3 or 4 players?

Accepted Answer

From 2 to 4 people. With fewer people, each one counts for more; with more, there is more chaos and more hands to cover you. Any size works. If there are more than four of you, write to us and we will advise you.

Question 5

What about the controllers and the controls?

Accepted Answer

Several buttons and gestures are used and, at the start — especially if you have never played virtual reality — there is a learning curve: that is why the challenge is 7/10. In about ten minutes you will be shooting with confidence; gamers and VR veterans adapt sooner. Before you start, we explain the controls.

Question 6

Will I get motion sickness?

Accepted Answer

It happens to some people. Our catalogue is chosen so that it does not: we steer clear of the titles that move the camera for you, which are the ones people tolerate worst. If you notice anything, the session can be stopped at any moment: the Game Master is right there. More on this: What happens to the body

Question 7

Story or horde: which should we choose?

Accepted Answer

The story is a campaign in parts with a plot; horde is the arcade mode: rounds that get tougher and tougher, to see how far you can get. If it is your first time, start with the story; horde is replayable adrenaline. You can try one mode in one visit and the other in the next.

Question 8

Can we continue another day?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With two players, the story is a campaign in parts of about 6 hours in total; with three or four, they are independent missions. In both cases, when you come back, tell us where you left off and you carry on from there.

Question 9

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices start from €24.50 per person for 1 hour and from €48.50 per person for 2 hours, and may vary depending on the day, the time and the size of the group. For groups and celebrations — birthdays, stag and hen parties, companies or friends — there are packs from €315 for up to 8 people.

Question 10

Do I need to have tried virtual reality before?

Accepted Answer

No. Most people who come had never tried virtual reality before. Your Game Master explains the controls when you arrive and stays with you throughout the session. More about this: Most people arrive without having tried it

Question 11

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Bookings can be changed or cancelled up to 48 hours before, and group bookings up to one week before. We refund what you paid by the same payment method. To change or cancel, write to us. More about this: Write to us to change or cancel

Question 12

Where are you and how do I get there?

Accepted Answer

We are at C/Viladomat 95, Barcelona (Eixample). The easiest way is to come by metro: Rocafort (L1), Urgell (L1), Sant Antoni (L2) or Poble Sec (L3), all about ten minutes' walk away. By bus, line V9 has a stop right opposite Virtua, and there are more lines along Gran Via and Sepúlveda. See on Google Maps More about this: See the map and address

Question 13

What languages is it available in?

Accepted Answer

The team speaks Spanish, Catalan and English. Most of the games are available in Spanish and English and, as the experiences are very visual and intuitive, language is rarely a barrier. More about this: Everything you'll be wondering about

Question 14

Is there parking nearby?

Accepted Answer

We don't have our own car park, but there are two public ones a couple of minutes' walk away: BSM Urgell and SABA Eixample. With a large group, the metro works out better. More about this: See the map and address

Question 15

Can I play if I wear prescription glasses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Meta Quest 3 headsets have enough room to be used comfortably with the vast majority of prescription glasses. If yours are very large, contact lenses are more comfortable. More on this: Everything you are going to ask

Question 16

Are there any medical restrictions?

Accepted Answer

We do not recommend the activity for people with photosensitive epilepsy, who are pregnant or who have serious heart problems. If in doubt, write to us before booking and we will go through it with you. For accessibility needs, write to us beforehand and we will see how to adapt the activity. More on this: When we do not recommend it

Question 17

Can virtual reality cause motion sickness?

Accepted Answer

It happens to some people. Our catalogue is chosen so that it does not: we steer clear of the titles that move the camera for you, which are the ones people tolerate worst. If you notice anything, the session can be stopped at any moment: the Game Master is right there. More on this: What happens to the body

Question 18

What technology do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use Meta Quest 3 headsets: they are wireless, with no cables and no computer, and they track your movements, so you move freely around your 3×3 m box. We provide the headphones to improve immersion. More on this: What is virtual reality

Question 19

Is VR safe for children?

Accepted Answer

Meta recommends these headsets from age 10, but in Apocalipsis Zombi the minimum age is 14, because of its content (there is blood and violence typical of the genre). The Game Master is with you for the whole session and, if you notice anything, the session can be stopped at any time. More on this: From age 10, with no upper limit

Question 20

How is VR different from a normal video game?

Accepted Answer

In a video game you look at a screen and use a controller. In VR you are inside the game: you turn your head and see the world around you, you really walk and you use your hands to interact with objects. It is the difference between watching a film and starring in it. More on this: It's not a video game: you're inside
