How the party works

Nobody ends up watching the clock

Eight play at a time. The others don't wait: they're at the arcade machines, they can see their friends right there in front of them and they follow the game on the screens.

  1. On arrival

    Lockers, headsets and two rules. No rush, and nothing for you to sort out.

  2. 1 h 45 · 2 h 15 in La fiesta entera

    The game. They take turns in the eight boxes, and whoever isn't playing is playing something else: the arcade machines, cheering on their friends, or following the game on the screens.

  3. 30 min · 1 hour in La fiesta entera

    The celebration, in La fiesta and La fiesta entera. Cake, candles, presents and photos. Here, 3 or 4 adults can be there.

    And in La fiesta entera that hour also brings the children's meal: we set up the tables and they eat, with nothing for you to clear away. The adults don't eat.

    A paper cut-out birthday cake with five lit candles
  4. And that's it

    You leave with the photos and videos.

A player with both arms raised and, behind them, the screen showing the game they are playing live
What they see inside the headset, on the screen. Their friends don't miss a thing.

What they eat

One hour at the table, served and set up by us. No nuts or peanuts: neither as an ingredient nor as a trace, in any of the four items.

  • Hot dogs

  • Iberian ham croquettes

  • Turkey and Edam brioches

  • Mini Spanish omelette cake

    Gluten-free

Contains gluten, egg and dairy, and in some items sesame, celery and mustard. The mini Spanish omelette cake is gluten-free, although our supplier cannot guarantee that it is 100 % free: it handles its gluten-free items with care, but there may be cross-contamination in its kitchen.

The cake has no gluten-free version. And of the four flavours, Carrot Cake and Brownie contain walnuts; the Menorquina and the Congo do not.

If someone can't eat this, bring them their own food. The price doesn't change.

At Virtua Barcelona, the La fiesta entera pack includes an hour of food for the children, with a menu free of nuts and peanuts.

And what about you, in the meantime?

When the children finish playing, it's your turn: you go in for the cake and the food. And then the room upstairs is free.

If you fancy trying it: up to 8 adults, one hour, with the games already chosen by us. At the table with the children you are still 3 or 4 — upstairs, up to 8.

€150 · request it when you book; it only comes with La fiesta entera

Just you

The whole room, for their group

You don't share it with anyone. Not with another birthday, not with strangers. Eight 3×3 m boxes with no cables, the arcade machines and the screens: all yours during the session.

The Virtua Barcelona room in blue half-light: several headsets in the foreground, the play corridor and two people playing in the background

A 40-second tour, from the street to the room. No dialogue.

What you take home

The photos and videos, at no cost

Everything from the session

We take photos and videos during the activity and send you all of them, via a download link. It arrives by email the same day, with the thank-you message — unless something has to be edited, in which case it takes a little longer.

In all three packs.

And a photo in your hand

In La fiesta and La fiesta entera we take a photo of the group and give it to them printed on the spot, framed, for the birthday boy or girl. They take it home that same day.

Not included in El Básico.

A typical Saturday

This is what it looks like inside

  • The staircase down to the room, with the Virtua logo lit up
  • Silhouette of a female player in a shooting stance against the blue light of the room
  • Female player with both arms raised during a game
  • Player crouching in the middle of a game, with an arcade machine in the background
  • The Game Master adjusting a headset while another player plays at the back of the room

This is what it looks like inside. Their birthday starts with choosing the day.

What people say

2.300+ reviews and a 4.9

The 4.9 is Google's, and nobody touches it. We chose these seven because they were written by parents who celebrated here.

Before booking

What you need to know before you come

From what age?
Ages 10+. That's Meta's recommendation for these headsets, and it's our limit.
Who looks after them?
A Game Master stays with the group for the whole session: they kit everyone out, explain, adjust the headsets and stay by their side.

During the game, the room is theirs: they stay alone with the Game Master. At the celebration, yes — up to 3 or 4 adults for the cake.
What should we bring?
Nothing. Comfortable clothes and socks. We provide the water.
And what about headset hygiene?
They're cleaned between sessions.

There is always a Virtua adult with the group.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you ask us

45 questions, in six sections. Start with whatever worries you.

It depends on the pack and how many of you there are. El Básico is €315, La fiesta €425 and La fiesta entera €775, and all three include up to 8 people. From guest number 9 onwards it's €25 more per person (€50 in La fiesta entera, because every extra child eats too), up to a maximum of 16.

When you book, online, you pay a deposit of 30 % of the total, with a minimum of €115. The payment is processed by Stripe, and you can pay by card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or Bizum. The rest is paid at the venue on the same day. Virtua never sees or stores your card details at any point.

When you book, online, you pay a deposit of 30 % of the total, with a minimum of €115. The payment is processed by Stripe, and you can pay by card, Google Pay, Apple Pay or Bizum. The rest is paid at the venue on the same day. Virtua never sees or stores your card details at any point.

You can change the date or cancel at no cost up to 7 days before, and we refund the deposit by the same payment method (if it was paid by card, the bank may take up to 5 days to credit it). After that, the deposit is not refunded. To change or cancel, write to us.

Yes, the sooner the better: packs are booked by appointment, so that the room is free just for you, and afternoons and weekends fill up first. You book online by leaving a deposit of 30 % of the total (minimum €115); the rest is paid at the venue on the same day. We send you the confirmation by email.

The pack is paid in full all the same: the €315, €425 or €775 are for the whole room, not per person. Extra cost is only added from guest number 9.

You can change the number up to 7 days before and we'll adjust it. After that you can't: the food and the cake are already ordered, so the pack is paid for what has been confirmed.

Only in La fiesta entera, and it's €90: it's the holiday surcharge that our food supplier charges us, and we pass it on as it is, without adding anything.

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 on foot. By bus, line V9 has a stop right in front of Virtua, and there are more lines along Gran Via and Sepúlveda. See on Google Maps

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 is a better option.

All three include the whole room just for you, a Game Master for the whole session, and photos and videos at no extra cost. La fiesta adds the cake, 30 minutes of celebration, the digital invitations with their name, the framed instant photo and any day and any time. La fiesta entera also adds half an hour more of play (2 h 15 instead of 1 h 45), turns those 30 minutes into an hour with the children's food and includes a return voucher for three people (the birthday child and their parents).

From guest number 9: €25 in El Básico and La fiesta, and €50 in La fiesta entera, which includes their food.

16 is the maximum. There are 8 boxes and one room; beyond that the party stops working the way we want it to. If there are more of you, write to us and we'll take a look.

Yes, for €60, and the 30 minutes of celebration come with it as well. If you haven't booked yet, take a look at La fiesta: it's €50 more than El Básico with the cake added (€425 compared with €375) and it also includes the digital invitations, the framed instant photo and any day and any time. Adding the cake only makes sense if you've already booked El Básico and want to add it afterwards.

A birthday, no: the date, the pack and the guests are chosen by whoever organises it. What you can give is one of our adventures, with a digital gift voucher that is transferable and valid for 6 months — a good idea if what you want is to give the birthday child a present.

No. We never put groups together: the whole room, the 8 boxes, the arcade machines and the screens are only yours, and the Game Master is with you for the whole session.

1 h 45 of play, and 2 h 15 in La fiesta entera. In La fiesta, afterwards, 30 minutes for the cake, the candles and the presents — and in La fiesta entera those 30 minutes become an hour, because it also includes the food. You need to block out 2 h in your diary with El Básico, 2 h 30 with La fiesta and 3 h 45 with La fiesta entera.

8 play at a time: there are 8 boxes, each with its own Meta Quest 3 headset. There can be up to 16 of you, and you take turns: whoever isn't playing doesn't just wait around, because they have the arcade machines, they watch their friends play right in front of them and they follow the game on the screens.

They're playing something else. There are two arcade machines switched on in the room, and the screens show live what the person inside the headset sees. Nobody is left on the bench.

Yes. The screens in the room show live what each player sees inside the headset, so the others can follow the game, cheer them on and laugh at what happens.

A Virtua Game Master is with the group for the whole session, in all three packs. They kit everyone out, explain, adjust the headsets and stay by their side. The children are never left on their own at any point.

Yes, from the Arcade catalogue. The Game Master helps you choose according to age and group size — there are games for competing in teams, for everyone pulling together, and some that are mostly for watching with the others.

Ages 10+. That is the age Meta recommends for these headsets and it is our limit. If the group is the birthday child's class and some of them haven't turned 10 yet, write to us: at a 10th birthday party this happens a lot and we can sort it out.

Meta recommends these headsets for ages 10+, and that is our limit. The Game Master is with you for the whole session and, if you notice anything, the session can be stopped at any time. Minors must come accompanied by, or authorised by, a parent or guardian.

Not in the room during the game: only the people who are playing can be inside. At the celebration, yes — 3 or 4 adults and the family can join for the cake and the candles.

Yes, with La fiesta entera. Once the children have finished playing and sit down to eat, the room upstairs is free: up to 8 adults, one hour, with the games already chosen by us, €150. You ask for it when you book.

During the game the room is theirs: they stay with the Game Master, with no adults around. At the celebration, yes: up to 3 or 4 adults for the cake, the candles and the photos. And if you choose La fiesta entera, while the children eat you can play yourselves: up to 8 adults, one hour, €150.

It happens to some people. Our catalogue is chosen so that it doesn't: we avoid 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 time: the Game Master is right there with you.

Yes. The Meta Quest 3 headsets have enough room to be used comfortably with the vast majority of prescription glasses. If yours are very large, you will be more comfortable with contact lenses.

We do not recommend the activity for anyone with photosensitive epilepsy, who is pregnant or who has 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.

No. Most people who come have never tried virtual reality before. Your Game Master explains the controls when you arrive and stays with you throughout the session.

We use Meta Quest 3 headsets: they are wireless, with no cables and no computer, and they track your movements, so you can move freely inside your 3×3 m box. We provide the headphones ourselves, to improve immersion.

In La fiesta and La fiesta entera, yes: it is included, along with the 30 minutes of celebration. With El Básico it can be added for €60.

In La fiesta entera, one hour at the table — food and cake — with hot dogs, Iberian ham croquettes, turkey and Edam brioches and mini Spanish omelette cakes. We set it up and serve it ourselves, and you don't have to clear anything away. No nuts or peanuts.

No: the food is for the children. The adults join in for the cake and the celebration, which is where you come in.

There are four: Congo, Menorquina, Brownie and Carrot Cake. You will see the description of each one when you select it during booking. ⚠️ The Brownie and the Carrot Cake contain walnuts; the Congo and the Menorquina do not. And there is no gluten-free version of any of them.

We tell you everything before you book, so that you can decide for yourselves. The children's food contains no nuts or peanuts, neither as an ingredient nor as a trace. It does contain gluten, egg and dairy, and in some items sesame, celery and mustard; the mini Spanish omelette cake is gluten-free, although our supplier cannot guarantee that it is 100 % free of it. The cakes have no gluten-free version and two of them contain walnuts. If someone cannot eat this, bring them something of their own: the price does not change.

Yes, no problem. The price of the pack does not change if you bring one, so if you are going to bring your own, El Básico may be the one that suits you.

No need: we provide the water, free of charge, for everyone and in every pack. If you like, you can bring another drink, non-alcoholic.

No: we provide the food. With La fiesta entera you get one hour at the table with the children's food and the cake; in the other two packs, only the cake and the water in the room. There are two exceptions: your own cake, in any pack, and, in La fiesta entera, something for a child with an allergy or intolerance who cannot eat ours. What we do not set up is a second table of food from outside: it is a game room with delicate equipment.

No. They are included in all three packs. We take photos and videos during the activity and send you all of them.

The same day, by email, in a download link together with the thank-you message. If anything needs editing, it may take a little longer.

The photos and videos are for you only. We pass them to the parents through the download link and do not publish them anywhere: not on social media, not on the website, not in advertising.

It comes with La fiesta and La fiesta entera: we take a photo of the group, print it on the spot and give it to the birthday child in a frame. They take it home that same day, in their hand.

With La fiesta and La fiesta entera we send digital invitations with the birthday child's name for you to pass on to their friends before the party.
