Welcome to DNA VR, the Ultimate Virtual Reality Arcade with 3 locations in London. Get ready to go on a journey through incredible worlds in this reality and beyond – from surviving a zombie apocalypse to dancing through Synth Riders or exploring the depths of the ocean. The only limit is your imagination.
Your kids will love the VR Arcade session. Each player receives their own headset and booth for 60 minutes of immersive gameplay. Despite physical separation, players can communicate via voice chat and see each other in the virtual world, with access to a vast library of games catering to both solo and multiplayer preferences.
Or choose the Escape Room feature, where teams of up to six tackle puzzles within 60 minutes to emerge victorious. With individual pods and headset communication, collaboration is key to cracking the code.
For the ultimate immersion, opt for a Premium Free-Roaming session. Up to four players can roam wire-free in a larger room, amplifying the thrill of the experience.
Guiding your adventure is our VR Master, ensuring safety and providing game setup assistance for technophobe parents. While there are no strict age limits, equipment and experiences are best suited for kids over 7. It may be quite an intense experience and sometimes slightly overwhelming for younger children, but the ball is in your court!
Our best recommendations are the following:
VR Arcade: 7+
Premium Free Roaming: 12+
VR Escape Rooms: 10+ (7+ if accompanied by an adult)
Ubisoft’s VR Escape rooms: 12+
Pssst… DNA VR are also experts at hosting kids birthday parties. The VR Arcade session is perfect for large groups as the wide range of games means that there is always something for everyone to enjoy.
The optimal VR experience requires users to move their head and neck, and have use of at least one hand to interact with the environment.
Be sure to consult your doctor before visiting if you or your kids have pre-existing serious medical conditions (such as a heart ailment), conditions that affect your ability to safely perform physical activities, psychiatric conditions (such as anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder).

For escape room, we chose the Chernobyl escape, this was both educational and exciting. We had to work as team to solve the clues and look for items to navigate through Chernobyl site to gain our freedom. We were successful and escaped in 44 minutes.
