    From age 16. It's bloody and not a game for children.

  • Is Gorn difficult?

    No, the controls are easy. You grab a weapon with the button under your middle finger, hold it down and swing with your own arm. The host explains it beforehand.

  • Do I need to book Gorn separately?

    No. You book a VR Experience and choose the game on the spot. The host starts Gorn and puts you in the arena.

  • Is Gorn violent?

    Yes, it's bloody. The violence is exaggerated and drawn like a cartoon, though, more slapstick than realistic.

  • What weapons do you fight with in Gorn?

    With a club, swords, axes, morning stars and your bare fists.

  • How does a fight in Gorn start?

    You raise your weapon as a salute. Then the cage opens and the fight begins.

    For a group of friends or a stag or hen party aged 16 and over. There are different arenas and types of enemy, and whoever isn't playing watches on the screen.

• Booking

  • How do I book a VR Experience in Haarlem?

    Booking is easy via the Book button on our website. Choose your activity, select 60, 90 or 120 minutes, enter the number of players and pick a time slot. You’ll immediately see available times and receive a confirmation by email.

  • Which time slots are available and what time do you recommend?

    You can book daily within our opening hours. Available time slots are shown live in the booking system. Weekdays are usually quieter, ideal for smaller groups. Weekends and holidays are busier - book in advance. For groups or those wanting to try multiple games, we recommend 90 or 120 minutes.

  • How much does a booking cost and what is included?

    The price depends on duration (60/90/120 min) and timing (weekday/weekend). Included: short briefing, guidance from a host, use of VR headsets & controllers, hygiene covers, and the option to switch between multiple games. Not included (optional): food & drinks, private session, or some premium and escape titles with a small surcharge.

  • Can we come with more than 11 people?

    We have 11 play areas, so 11 people can play at the same time. If you come with more than 11, we rotate in rounds; the host manages teams and quick switches. Advice: 9–12 players → 90–120 min; 13+ → 120 min or two slots. Not every title supports 11 players; the host selects suitable games. For VR Racing: max 4 at once.

  • Can I change or cancel my booking?

    You can cancel or modify your booking via the website or by contacting us. Please note that cancellation fees may apply depending on how far in advance you cancel or change. You can also add cancellation insurance directly when booking.
