Virtua — Attraction in Barcelona

Two stars and not one because the game experience itself was fun.

Due to a mechanical issue with one of our bicycles on the way which made us lose over 10 min, my girlfriend and I arrived 5 min late. We had booked and paid for a 1-hour gaming experience, which gave us a slot of 1h15 minutes (assumingly to allow for safety briefing, storing your things in the lockers, etc) from 17h45-19h.

We arrived at 17h50 instead of 17h45, and hence started the actual experience at 18h05 instead of 18h. All fine, except that the session was stopped at 18h50 and not at 19h. Reducing playtime by 10 min when an hour costs almost 28 euros per person isn't normal.

We only realized this a few min after and addressed this to one of the employees (guy with long hair), who was incredibly rude to us, and lied to us claiming we had arrived 20 min late. The other answer he kept repeating over and over was that we should 'read the instructions in the email' rather than speak to us like a human being and respond to our specific questions.

He then just left us standing there as he had other clients to deal with, according to him.

Such a shame to be treated like this, we won't be back and I recommend others to look towards other businesses offering VR experiences in Barcelona rather than...

This was such a unique and entertaining activity. Since we had a bit of escape room experience, we opted to do the hardest room (difficulty 9/10): Alice in Wonderland. We, a group of 2, beat it with less than 60 seconds remaining on the clock. Definitely challenging and very fun. We went on our last night in Barcelona. If we’d known about it sooner, we probably would have gone a few more times.

The visuals were amazing. Absolutely stunning. It takes a little bit of time to get used to moving within the game, but we got the hang of it pretty quickly. There were one or two minor glitches for one of the players, but they were easily resolved and a few minutes were added to our timer to make up for it. It didn’t take away from the fun - we still had a blast.

Our host/game master, Abel, gave us hints when needed and did a great job explaining everything to us. Thanks, Abel! It is very, very easy to recommend this experience. We had so much fun and it was unlike anything we’d ever...

My friends took me here for my birthday. They chose the following themes for VR: the sea, the plank, Everest, and space. Two out of the three of us absolutely bombed the plank. I froze in place and wanted to stay in the elevator. My friend closed her eyes and screamed. So Abel pulled both of us out on the plank and turned us to the right to fall down to the street which we were incapable of doing ourselves. Everest was glitchy as we weren't synched together so we felt that Everest should've taken half of the time it did. When we got to the end of our hour, Abel said we didn't have time for space. I believe the plank and flying to swat rockets afterward was a test to see if someone can handle space which is said to be intense and can cause dizziness. I'm fine that we didn't get to experience space as I had some serious plank PTSD. But Abel was kind and generous and we had a great time at Virtua....
