At Game OVR, we offer a wide range of carefully selected VR experiences for families, friends, birthdays, date nights, and groups of all kinds. Fight zombies, solve puzzles, explore new worlds, challenge yourself with virtual boxing, or step into a VR escape room where your team becomes part of the story.
With options for first time players, returning guests, kids, adults, and mixed age groups, Game OVR has experiences that help everyone find their kind of fun.
Up to 8 players can now play together wirelessly in each of our massive new freeroam arenas! Go on epic adVentuRes from the depths of the ocean to outer space and even back in time!
At Game OVR, we offer VR escape rooms built around story, teamwork, and stepping into worlds you could never visit in real life. Explore space, survive a plane crash on a deserted island, solve clever puzzles, enter dreamscapes, investigate strange mysteries, and complete missions where players need to work together and use everyone’s strengths.
Whether your group wants something family friendly, spooky, mysterious, silly, or challenging, our team can help you choose the right virtual reality escape room experience.
Game OVR is the largest dedicated VR centre in Canada, in Edmonton, Alberta. We are an award-winning, family-owned and operated virtual reality arcade offering VR games, escape rooms, free roam experiences, birthday parties, celebrations, field trips, team building, and group events.
We don’t offer every VR title available. We carefully curate our library with experiences that are fun, reliable, memorable, and worth sharing with our guests. Our team of VR experts is trained on everything we offer, which means we can help match your group with the right game, comfort level, and style of play.
Whether you are planning a birthday, a family outing, a date night, or something completely different for your group, we help create an experience that feels fun, personal, and easy from the moment you arrive.
Game OVR is located at 12930 St. Albert Trail in Edmonton, Alberta, just minutes from St. Albert.
We welcome guests from Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Leduc, Stony Plain, and surrounding areas. If you are looking for a VR arcade near Edmonton or a fun indoor activity close to St. Albert, we are easy to find and worth the visit.
No. You don’t need gaming experience, VR experience, or even consider yourself a gamer to have a great time at Game OVR.
Many of our experiences are not games in the traditional sense. Some are story based, some are cooperative, some are puzzle focused, and some are simply about stepping into a world you could never visit in real life.
Every group receives a custom tutorial before playing. We explain the basics, answer questions, and pay attention to what your group may need more help with so everyone feels as comfortable as possible before the session begins.
Game OVR is recommended for ages 5 and up, but age is only one part of the decision. Every VR experience is different, and every child is different too.
To play safely, younger players need to be comfortable speaking with and taking instructions from our team, the headset needs to fit properly, and they need to be able to follow the rules during the session. If a child isn’t quite ready for that yet, they may not be old enough to play safely, even if they are 5.
We also understand that families don’t always have kids close in age, but still want to enjoy an activity together. Our team can help recommend experiences that work well for mixed ages, different comfort levels, and different personalities.
For younger siblings or guests who need a break, we also have colouring books, free WiFi, and screens outside each player’s headset so you can always see what is happening during the experience.
Everyone is different. Some guests are more sensitive to motion sickness in VR than others, especially in experiences with lots of movement.
Motion sickness usually happens when your eyes, inner ear, and body send your brain different messages. In VR, your eyes may see movement while your body stays still, which can make some guests feel dizzy, warm, uneasy, or like they need a break.
Good news! We’ve been doing this long enough to know what to watch for. Our team pays attention during sessions and looks for signs that a player may be getting uncomfortable, even before they say anything. We also let guests know when an experience is more likely to cause discomfort, especially for players who are sensitive to motion.
Our team can recommend beginner-friendly options, explain what to expect, and share tips that may help reduce discomfort. If one style of VR doesn’t work, we can recommend something different based on how that experience made you feel.
Our headsets also have a high refresh rate, which can help your eyes and brain work together more comfortably. We list comfort and accessibility notes on our website and on our in-store posters, including which experiences may be more likely to bother guests who are sensitive to motion sickness.
Yes. Birthday parties and celebrations are one of the things we do best.
At Game OVR, exceptional customer service is one of our core values, from the first interaction to the moment we see you again.
For birthdays, we know you are trusting us with someone’s special day, and we take that seriously. Our team helps guide the VR portion, supports first time players, keeps things moving, and pays attention to the little details that make the birthday person feel celebrated.
We also want the day to feel easier for the grownups. Parents can enjoy free coffee, free WiFi, comfy couches, or even a few calm minutes before the sugar and food arrive. During playtime, you can take photos and videos of the players themselves, or capture what they are seeing on the screens outside each player’s headset. You can also add a group photo memento with all the guests at your party.
If you need to step out, pick something up, or have food delivered, our team is there to help keep the day running as smoothly as possible.
The result is a party that feels thoughtful, memorable, and polished without feeling stressful or overdone. Every party with us may include VR, but each one is unique to the person being celebrated. It is fun, personal, and focused on making the day feel easy for you and unforgettable for them.
Yes. Game OVR hosts team building events, school field trips, sports teams, youth groups, private events, homeschool groups, and large group bookings.
With up to 33 players able to play at the same time, we can help groups enjoy VR together without everyone waiting around. For larger events, we can host groups of up to 60 people by rotating players through VR while others relax, eat, watch, or spend time in our party rooms.
Our team helps guide the experience from start to finish, including game recommendations, first time player support, and keeping the event moving smoothly.
For school groups, we also offer How VR is Changing the World as an add on presentation. This explores how virtual reality is being used in workplaces, training, careers, education, and STEM, and can be tailored by age and group type. It is a great fit for school field trips, homeschool groups, youth programs, and curious learners.
We know every group is different. Some groups want something easy and low stress, some want high energy competition, and some want an educational experience connected to technology, careers, and the future of play. We work with you to find the right fit so your event feels organized, fun, and memorable.
Whether you are planning a staff outing, a school trip, a team celebration, a homeschool visit, or a private event, we help take the guesswork out of VR so you can focus on your guests.
