The experience

What games can you actually play in one hour at a VR arcade? Levelup Reality has one of the largest game libraries in Toronto, so you're not picking between three options. You're choosing from soldier simulations, zombie survival, deep-sea exploration, escape rooms, action shooters and short films. The venue is the Top 3 for Fun and Games in the area, and it runs single-player and multiplayer content, so you can play solo or team up with friends in the same virtual world where you see and hear each other.

You arrive 15 minutes before your start time for training on the headset and controls. The guide walks you through the setup in English, then you're in. Most glasses fit inside the VR headset if the frames are under 6 inches wide and 2 inches tall. If yours are larger, bring contacts instead. There's no minimum height requirement, though players under four feet tall may find the experience less optimal, and anyone over seven feet may have the same issue. The one-hour session includes the training, so the actual gameplay fills the rest of the time.

Levelup Reality is in downtown Toronto and accessible by public transit. The venue hosts corporate teams, birthday parties and large groups, but you can book as an individual or with friends. Players under 18 need a guardian's signed waiver before you arrive. Children must be at least 8 years old, and anyone under 12 needs an adult in the session with them. Service animals are welcome.

What’s included

Is this one for you?The live guide in English means you're not figuring out the headset alone. Someone walks you through setup and controls before you play, which works well if you've never tried VR or if you're bringing kids who need clear instruction before jumping in.

Top questions

Can I play multiplayer games with friends in the same virtual world?

Yes. In multiplayer games at Levelup Reality, you can see and hear your friends in the same virtual environment, so you're not just playing near each other. You're actually together in the game.

What happens if my glasses are too big for the VR headset?

Most glasses fit the headset if the frames are under 6 inches wide and 2 inches tall. If yours are larger, bring contact lenses instead so you can play comfortably.

Do I need to arrive early, or can I show up right at my booking time?

You must arrive 15 minutes before your start time. The guide uses that time to train you on the headset and controls before the one-hour session begins.

What's the age requirement, and do kids need an adult with them?

The minimum age is 8 years old. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult in the session. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign a waiver before you arrive.

What kinds of games are available to play?

Levelup Reality has adventure, action, horror, escape room, shooter and short film experiences. You can become a soldier, survive a zombie apocalypse, explore the deep sea, or pick from dozens of other scenarios in their large game library.
