๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

Best for families with children aged 10+ wanting a shared VR adventure rather than individual headset play. The Squid Game experience is the stronger choice for mixed-age family groups aged 10-16. Staff manage nervous first-timers well, making it accessible for those who have never used VR before.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBook the Squid Game experience for family groups - consistently rated higher than Stranger Things
โฐStaff can adjust headset audio remotely - ask if volume is an issue during setup
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธLocated in an area with multiple activities - plan a full day around the visit
๐Ÿš—Technical issues do occasionally occur - staff have offered replacement vouchers when problems arise

โ€œThe place is situated in an area with a lot of different activities so you can really spend the all day there. The team was supportive and helpful. But we picked the Stranger Things experience and I can unfortunately put it as the worst VR experience I had so far. First the Stranger Things options is basically a video game on rail where you spend half a hour shooting at monsters. Dying has no consequences on anything, there is only one weapon in auto aiming so you don't even need to point it on the thing you are shooting at. So pretty boring and also tiring. The "room" the game takes place in is not a real room in the sense the walls do not reach the ceiling. This means you can hear people screaming from the other rooms and that interfere with your experience. On top of that our session was riddled with technical issues from lagging to missalignments and audio dropping. Ah yeah, and it's also the only VR experience I did where you have no control on the sound volume. You have to ask a member of staff to remotely adjust it on a tablet. So overall I found the experience quite bad. Following all those problems the Sandbox team gave us a voucher for another game without us to having to request it, so on that aspect it was quite nice. Maybe we were unlucky with the tech on that day and the other games they propose are better. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it. In any case if you book from Sandbox VR, pick anything but Stranger Things.โ€
