The Birthday Party Has Entered a New Era

Gone are the days of soggy pizza, loud arcades, and party rooms that smell like a ball pit. Today, families are looking for birthday experiences that are immersive, exciting, and—let's be honest—easy to clean up after. That’s where VR laser tag takes the spotlight.

At Virtual Ventures, we've reimagined the party experience with high-energy, private group sessions that feel like stepping into your favorite action game. And no, you don’t need to bring your own gear—just bring your crew.

What Makes VR Laser Tag So Different?

The moment your group steps into the arena, they’re inside the game. Through wireless headsets and full-body tracking, each player becomes part of a mission—dodging enemies, tagging targets, and unlocking power-ups across interactive environments.

But what really sets it apart?

  • Fully immersive gameplay — no bulky vests, no sensors on walls
  • Team-based strategy — it’s more than chaos; it's a digital battlefield
  • Wide range of games — from competitive PvP to kid-friendly co-op modes

You can explore some of the available experiences here.

Built for Parties of All Kinds

While birthday parties are the most common reason guests book a session, VR laser tag has proven just as popular for:

  • Youth groups
  • Sports teams
  • Team-building events
  • Family nights and reunions

Each event at Virtual Ventures includes a private session, party room access (optional), and a team member on-site to help manage the flow and keep things fun.

Why Parents Love It

For parents, the appeal is clear:

  • No setup, no cleanup
  • No weather worries
  • A memorable experience everyone talks about

We also offer customizable party packages that include multiple games, photo ops, and gift card options.
