About this tour
When Em from our team tried this Montreal spot, we stepped into a full-on sci-fi shooter using Zero Latency's free-roam VR tech — genuinely the real deal for immersive gaming. You move around a purpose-built arena, interact with other players, and face down properly scaled enemies without bumping into walls or each other. It's 90 minutes that mixes VR combat with axe throwing and retro console gaming in the same venue, plus a bar to decompress after. Suits group trips, team days, or anyone after a gaming experience that actually makes your heart rate climb.
Highlights
- Real-size enemies and full-body movement — not standing-in-one-spot gaming
- Multiplayer chaos with actual other players, not bots
- Axe throwing on-site adds low-stakes fun between VR rounds
- Retro console area gives non-VR folk something to do
- Purpose-built arena design means no motion sickness or spatial confusion
- Bar and lounge make it a proper social hangout, not just activity
- Accessible to most fitness levels despite the intensity
- Guides handle gear fitting and rules quickly
What to expect
You'll arrive, get suited up with the headset and hand controllers, and step into a sci-fi scenario that actually feels like you're inside a video game. Em's first run took about 15 minutes to get the hang of movement and aiming, then the combat kicked in — aliens closing in, teammates calling out positions, all of it happening in real time around the arena. The space is designed so you can move freely without crashing into walls or other players, which is the whole draw here. Between rounds, axe throwing lets you step back into meatspace and throw at targets. There's a retro gaming corner for anyone waiting their turn, and the bar means you can actually hang out after rather than bolting.
Pacing-wise, 90 minutes flies. You're not sitting watching a screen — you're moving, aiming, and problem-solving with actual people. The venue keeps things flowing, though peak times (weekends, after work) can mean queues.

Good to know
If you're after a gaming experience that actually gets you moving and sweating, this beats home gaming by a mile. Team building trips, birthday groups, and mates after something different will genuinely have a blast. The variety (VR, axe throwing, retro games) means different skill levels and energy types can find something. Public transport is nearby, so no driving stress.
Spinal injuries, pregnancy, and poor cardiovascular health aren't compatible with this — the VR movement and intensity can cause real physical strain. Min age is 10, so young kids may struggle with the coordination or intensity. It's not cheap for 90 minutes. Early-round disorientation is normal; some folk find VR motion-sickness creeping in after 30–45 mins. The axe throwing and retro gaming are bonuses, but your core time is VR — if you're ambivalent about headsets, the premium isn't worth it. Arrive 15 mins early for gear fitting.
