Birthday questions.

How is VRWorld good for birthdays?

Our VR adventures are loads of fun and laughter, especially for close friends or family. They are the ultimate bonding experience (surviving a zombie apocalypse or escaping from a haunted mansion together?), uniquely different and sure to be memorable. They are specially curated for birthdays.

We have prepared a special birthday plan which are very popular with parents wishing an unforgettable birthday for their child and friends. Guests are free to choose from any of our VR experiences (although we generally recommend 12 or above for our VR Escape Games as they can be too challenging for younger children).

Are there any age restrictions?

Generally, 8 years old is the recommended minimum age to enjoy our VR games, or 127cm and above in height, but a lot is dependent on individual development and proficiency, and the level of adult guidance.

It is possible for younger children to try VR, but it has to be done strictly under close adult supervision. There is also a higher possibility that the VR gear may not fit younger children well, that they may not meet the physical requirements of the games, or that they may not be able to fully understand and appreciate the games.

(Age suitability may vary between different games, please feel free to check with our staff).

Am I allowed to bring my own food and beverages?

Outside food and non-alcoholic beverages are allowed to be consumed within VRWorld for kids birthday parties.

Can I bring cake?

For the cake, we do have a long bench with chairs that the kids can sit together to relax, you can even bring more food for the kids to eat in the shop. If you’re considering keeping the cake cold, we have a soft drink fridge where we could make some space for you to put in the cake.  

Can I come by to visit VRWorld before committing to a booking?

You are most welcome to do so ?

If you wanna come in to the shop in person to check our equipment and environment, our staffs can give you more specific explanations. 

Do I have to make a reservation?

Yes. We ask that you enquire with us via email or phone as table reservations are subject to availability.
