About this tour
When Ben from our BugBitten team tried this VR session, he stepped into what's billed as the Southern Hemisphere's largest dedicated virtual reality setup. You get 30 minutes of playtime across up to two games on their Infinity Platform — basically a massive motion-tracked space where your avatar moves with you, no controllers needed. It's pitched at anyone 10 and up, not just hardcore gamers. The whole visit runs about 40 minutes. The venue's in New Zealand and pulls a mixed crowd: families, mates after work, curious first-timers. It's slick gear, properly set up, and surprisingly accessible for a tech-forward experience.
Highlights
- Motion-tracked Infinity Platform lets your whole body control the avatar
- Wheelchair accessible venue with fully accessible areas and surfaces
- Games scale from two to twelve players — works solo or with a crew
- No VR experience required; guides talk you through the basics quickly
- Two full games in 30 minutes keeps the pace brisk and engaging
- Suitable for ages 10 and up, opening it beyond typical gamer crowds
- Prams and service animals welcome; genuinely family-friendly setup
What to expect
You'll arrive and get a brief orientation — the staff walk you through how the motion tracking works and what the game objectives are. Once you're in the play space, you're immersed pretty fast. Ben found the setup clever: you're not glued to a headset rig, so you can move naturally. The first game took about 12–15 minutes, then a quick reset and straight into the second. The pacing is snappy; there's no dead air. What surprised us was how non-intimidating it felt for someone new to VR. The space is clean, modern, and well-lit in the prep area.
The games themselves are designed to be fun rather than brutally hard, so even if you're not a gamer, you're not flailing around helplessly. Groups up to four are the sweet spot — any bigger and you're coordinating more than playing, though the platform does support larger teams if you want that chaos. The 40-minute window includes briefing and a bit of buffer, so the actual game time is genuine.

Good to know
This is genuinely accessible for non-gamers and younger players (10+). The venue is wheelchair accessible, surfaces are level, and infants can come along in a pram. It's a short, high-energy outing that doesn't demand fitness or prior tech skills. Great for a rainy afternoon, a family outing, or mates after work.
Not all experiences suit limited mobility — the source flags this, so if you have movement restrictions, check with the venue about which games work for you. The 30-minute play window is lean; you're genuinely limited to two games, so if you're hoping for a long-haul session, this isn't it. Motion sickness can catch some people, so if you're VR-sensitive, go in cautious.
Suitable for ages 10 up. Groups of up to four recommended (larger groups possible but less ideal). The 40-minute slot includes briefing, so budget accordingly. Public transport options nearby. No special gear or fitness required. Prams and service animals are fine.
