Newcastle's VR venues take quite different approaches, so it's worth picking by the kind of game your group wants.
Novacade VR, upstairs on Hunter Street in the city, is built around free-roam play: up to eight players walk through the same virtual world together, side by side. Bookings are private and run by the hour, and there are VR escape rooms and treadmill games if the group wants a change of pace. Staff guide first-timers through each game, and there are showers on site. Prices start from $60 per person.
UnrealVR Charlestown, on the Pacific Highway on the Lake Macquarie side, is a room-scale studio with up to 15 headsets, racing simulators and multiplayer games. Its party package gives a group one hour of exclusive use of seven headsets at a flat fee, with screens above each station so friends can watch, and a party room for cake afterwards. It caters for kids, teens and adults.
