You Actually Run Inside the Game at Queenstown's VR Station

You put on motion-tracked shoes and a VR headset, then run through fully immersive gaming scenarios — zombie apocalypse, tactical missions, haunted environments — either solo or with friends using in-headset voice chat. All equipment is provided, and the experience works for anyone between 1.4 and 1.95 meters tall. Sessions run at Queenstown's first Omni VR station, accessible by public transport.

The Experience

The moment you strap into the Omni VR shoes, the floor stops being floor. Your feet register every step you take inside the headset, and the game responds like you're really there — sprinting through a zombie apocalypse, creeping through a haunted house, or locked in a tactical shooting scenario. This isn't a standing experience where you lean and gesture. You move. Your legs do the work. The special shoes track your motion, and the virtual world shifts around you as you run, walk, and turn.

Queenstown's Omni VR setup is New Zealand's first, and it's built for groups. You can team up with friends to complete missions together, or compete head-to-head. The in-headset speakers let you talk to each other while you're playing, so you're not isolated inside your own head — you're coordinating, calling out, reacting in real time. The range of scenarios is genuinely broad: zombie survival, tactical combat, exploration puzzles, horror environments. You pick what sounds right, and the staff gets you suited up and into the experience.

The whole setup is designed so you don't have to think about logistics. All gear comes with your session — headset, motion shoes, controllers — and the height range is 1.4 to 1.95 meters, which covers most adults and older teens. The physical demand is real (your cardiovascular system will know you've been moving), but it's not a fitness test. You go at your own pace inside the game, and the experience scales to how hard you want to push it. Public transport gets you there, or you can walk from central Queenstown depending on where the venue sits.

Book a session if you want something that feels genuinely different from a screen-based game — the motion tracking and the ability to actually run changes everything about how your brain processes what's happening. It's the kind of thing you'll think about for weeks after.

What’s included

Your session includes all VR equipment (headset, motion-tracked shoes, controllers), access to the gaming scenario of your choice, and the ability to play solo or with a group using in-headset communication. Staff will brief you on how to use the equipment before you start.
