The Viri Experience will engage your senses through 50 minutes of immersive virtual reality. It involves 23 VR experience, including the Plank, the Horror Room, Archery, Racing, Flight Simulator and a Private Booth with 18 different games. You can spend your time however you like - try every game, or stick to what appeals most to you!
This experience provides one shared private booth between every two players in your group and spaces to roam. If you'd like to play multiplayer, you can add extra booths during the booking process.
12pm - 10pm: Monday - Thursday (unless prior appointment)
10am - 10pm: Friday - Sunday
Our minimum age is 8, as younger children tend to be overwhelmed by VR, and they are often too small to operate some of the games, or fit the headset.
Viri is at 555 Flinders Lane, Melbourne CBD. We are a four minute walk from Southern Cross Station on the corner of Flinders Lane and Downie Street. (Close to Spencer Street).

If you have a diagnosed heart condition, we suggest you obtain medical advice before playing virtual reality as some games can be strenuous.
We recommend that pregnant women and elderly customers take care when playing virtual reality as you may need to move around. Our staff will be able to recommend suitable games.

Booking is preferred because it guarantees the time that you want will be available, especially on weekends. Game sessions start every hour on the hour.
Contact lenses are highly recommended, as glasses can be difficult to fit in the headset. If you're short sighted, VR is often fine without glasses.
Yes, you can still play, as very few people get sick from our games.
