Located in Corby’s, Oasis Retail Park, ViRAL Entertainment is an awesome VR gaming bar which boasts VR pods, VR free roaming and VR racing simulators.
Strap yourself in for the adventure of a lifetime as your venture into The Metaverse! Utilising the latest specialist hardware, the best VR gaming equipment and high-powered computers you can enter the virtual Metaverse with its incredibly realistic, interactive 3D environments.
VR Pods allow you to be part of the action, it’s like stepping inside a movie. In your own specialist pod you can play one of the huge range of games. Top titles include Kobold (set in a dark forest in Germany you investigate the mystery of a missing boy); Art Pulse (a VR sandbox that transforms your artwork in to music); PingPong Kings; Dreadhalls (trapped in a dungeon, can you escape?); and Virtual Battlegrounds.
The ultimate in multiplayer gaming, the Free Roam experience is invigorating. You and your mates haul up in a larger space, don your VR headset and off you go. No wires, no restrictions, just you and your mates taking on the bad-guys. Play Quantum Arena, an all out battle where you can either play as a team or fight against each other. Highest score wins. Cyber Shock transforms you into a hero warrior. Battle the drone army to defeat the virus. Dead Ahead is a classic zombie apocalypse game – grab your weapons and prepare for the onslaught.
If you’re ready for an insane 5D driving experience then you’ll want to get booked into one of ViRAL Entrainment’s racing simulators. As well as the immersive VR experience the motion seats respond to the action, there’s vibration feedback, wind generation and the wheel and pad handling is incredible. You can play with or without a VR headset. There are loads of different racing tracks to choose from as well as road cars, go karts, super cars and Formula 1. They even have Project Cars Pro – one of the best VR racing experiences available in the UK.
With all that racing, warfare and action you’re going to need to rehydrate. Thankfully ViRAL Entertainment has a fully licensed bar – they even have a cocktail menu. Why not grab yourself a Rollover hotdog or burger whilst you’re at it.
