PC, console or VR: choosing for a group

Five friends, one evening and a budget. How to pick the stations that suit the group you are bringing.

Groups often message us asking what to book. The answer depends on how many of you there are, what you like playing and whether you want to play against each other or together.

Console booths are best for groups of two to four who want to sit together. One sofa, one big screen, four controllers, and the price of ₹300 an hour is for the booth, not for each person. Football, racing, fighting and party games are all there, and everyone sees the same screen, so it is good for friends who play casually.

PCs suit groups who already play online together and want their own screen each. Five PCs in a row for a 5v5 team match costs ₹600 an hour for all five. You can talk over headsets or simply across the desk.

VR is the one people remember, but it is best in short turns. Thirty minutes per person is plenty for most first-timers. For a group of four, book two bays for an hour and swap, or book the VR escape room, which all four play at once.

A good evening for six friends often looks like this: an hour in two console booths, then thirty minutes of VR in pairs, then fries and cold coffee at the counter. Around ₹600 each, including snacks. Message us with your group size and we will suggest a plan.
