Customer Reviews

Absolutely fantastic time!! Had a wonderful birthday party for 14, 14 year old boys and they all had a blast! Everyone was friendly, they made sure everything ran so smoothly and all the kids were occupied all the time and having a great time. Would definitely do it again! Highly recommend!!

We threw a very small 8th grade graduation celebration for my son here and the boys had so much fun! Easiest party ever! Great place for teens and the location is convenient. I was able to walk to the dollar store and Pizza Hut next door to pick up food/snacks for the party lol. We will definitely be returning! Oh?and the owners are super polite. I'm sure they get a lot of teen boys coming in and they are so kind and understanding of their personalities and indecisiveness lol.

Took my son there for his birthday. We had a wonderful experience. The kids loved the game. The adults were able to sit in the arena and watch them be goofy. Jai made their experience top notch. Thank you so much!!

How did we not know about this place!! We had so much fun! We took our 3 boys and 3 friends for a small birthday party and they absolutely loved it. They have a variety of games and a party room. He's already asked to come back for next year?s birthday!

We had an amazing time. The owners, Jocelyn and Jia, were patient and explained different courses, so we could be sure about which one we wanted to do. None of us had ever done VR before, so it was definitely an experience.

Another World NOLA is like stepping into a sci-fi fever dream?only with better graphics and no respawn penalties. This isn't your average arcade; it's a full-on, free-roam VR battleground where you dodge zombies, blast aliens, and probably embarrass yourself in front of friends. Whether it's date night or a squad showdown, the staff makes sure you have a blast (without motion sickness). Pro tip: rent the whole arena, bring your own snacks, and go full gamer mode.

Wow! This was my first time trying virtual reality. I was nervous at first. But the staff explained everything so well - and customized the game to my level and I had a complete blast!! And if I TRIED IT AND HAD A BLAST - anyone can and should! Come and give it a go! Great for groups, parties, families or even couples. Book your private party time online and have a completely unique experience. Loved it!!

The boys had a blast. Great place to have a party or just come for VR fun. Definitely recommend.

This place is amazing!!! There is no other game/entertainment set up like it. You are truly transported into a game scenario with your friends. The owners are so sweet and enthusiastic and truly go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. Rainy day, birthday party, highly recommend

We had a lot of fun as a family of 4 with an adult in a motorized wheelchair. The game manager was super helpful and patient. She answered all of our questions.

This place is immaculate!! The owners are so kind and very very patient. They're really friendly and accommodating!! I haven't been to a place where both adults and children enjoy themselves. The games are so good and timed enough as well! They don't need to change anything about this place. I wish this place nothing but the best as a new business! The support will definitely overflow! I love this place I'll definitely be back!

I had an amazing time here. I didn't really know what to expect because I don't play video games and I've never played a VR game but I was optimistic. I was with someone who is a gamer. We both really enjoyed it. It's fun for adults and/or kids.

Pro: Another World offers a great virtual reality experience! It was a great family fun experience for all ages. The staff was welcoming and polite. Con: Upon arrival, there was no one working the front desk the majority of the wait. Unsure if they were short-staffed but one staff member came to the front momentarily after ringing a bell to provide info for the game waiver and play choices. We waited 15 minutes after our scheduled time slot to start the experience. The facility cleanliness could also use s

10/10!! This was my first time and I had a blast! The owners Jia & Jocelyn were AMAZING and did very well explaining everything! Come here if you're looking for a good time!

We had so much fun here! We played the zombie game and had a hoot! I'm not a regular gamer but I had an absolute blast! My bf is a big gamer and he had a great time too! Definitely check it out! Also the staff was so kind and chill, can't wait to go back!!

This place is so much fun! I brought my staff for some teambuilding and we loved it. We played as a team and then against each other in a variety of smaller teams against each other. Cannot recommend enough as a way to get out of the office and have fun and I'm excited to come back with my kids.

I found Another World on TikTok for my husband birthday and we well enjoyed it! It was so much fun and very realistic! Me and my husband was in there fighting for our lives against those zombies ??. If you are into games or just want to try something new, I definitely recommend Another World. Jai was also Very helpful, because I didn't know what I was doing at first.

Highly recommend this experience. The owners provided such good customer service. I reserve a game for my husband?s birthday and we had a lot of fun. Additionally the staff members made us feel welcomed and they were very helpful. We'll definitely be back.

I had a great time. The instructors explained everything well enough that was easily understandable. The experience all together was great! Definitely recommend!

This was a really great time! Went here for a night out and I have to have admit this is worth spending your money and enjoying a good time. It's a really good price and it immerses you into another world. The owners were so hospitable and welcoming. 10/10 experience!!

An Unforgettable VR Experience! I've never had so much fun in my life! My friends and I have been to this VR Game Center at least five times now, and each visit is better than the last. Whether you're a hardcore gamer or someone who's never picked up a controller, this place is a blast for everyone?adults included! The owners are absolutely amazing, and their attention to detail really stands out. The place is spotless, and they make sure all the systems are sanitized after each use, which makes me feel su

Super friendly owners and super fun experience! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and plan on coming back. It was easy to get setup and surprisingly affordable.

We always have a great time at Another World. The staff are awesome and the games are incredible. Highly recommend!

1st time here and the experience was excellent. Me, wifey, and 2 daughters had much fun. Highly recommend. We will be returning.

Had a great time here with my friends. We did both coop and PvP and it was a blast for both! The coop was super immersive and the pvp was great fun to blast your friends. Would definitely go again!

Had so much fun with my daughter. Easy to pick up and play. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely going back to play different games

To start, not aesthetically appealing in the store front. We expected a gaming appearance facility but it was quite the opposite. When you walk in, the waiting area was not well kept. We booked online and it said 40min experiences for $40. We chose Safe Night and on arrival, was told Safe Night was for only 30 mins for the same price which it did not state online so we went with Colony Code Red. To say the least....there is a lot of idle time with the story lines during the game so you're truly not engag

My first time going and my son as well. Was a really cool and fun experience. My son loved it. We will be going back many times.

My friends and I had such an amazing time ! The owners are very sweet and patient with customers and will gladly answer questions as well as assist during the virtual journey. I will definitely be coming back !

An absolute blast! Our game masters were so kind and helpful. Game was super realistic and I felt like I had been in a real fight. We made it! Barely! Definitely recommend.

We had such a fun time here! Definitely recommend to at least try it out one time. We tried out multiple worlds. It was something unique to do and got our competition spirits going.

This was the most fun I've ever had playing a game!!! The game masters gave us great hints and they were so sweet! They were so hospitality. Happy Birthday to my best friend.

Woahhhh! Way more fun than I expected! VR is crazy and it's SO FUN that you can be in the same game as your friends!! Play against each other or as a team. There's a lot of game choices. Super easy to get started. I admit we had some skeptics about it but all left pretty darn happy. I'd bring my older siblings here and also my preteen/teen nieces and nephews for sure.

The owners of this place gave me and my crew a lovely experience for my sisters Bday. The accommodated us in every way possible I truly recommend checking them out for a fun time. I would give more stars if I could.

We had so much fun! This could be a great thing for a group to spend the night doing together

Great VR experience here tonight! Our gamemaster Jocelyn was so helpful and accomodating! We couldn't have made it without her! Games are fun and some pretty intense. Fair with pricing as well. My friends and I had a blast! I would definitely come again!

Thank you to the team at Another World for a truly unique and fun team building day. Everyone had a marvelous time and will be talking about this adventure for a long time. It was my first VR gaming experience and it was a blast.

The people that run this place are the nicest people you'll ever meet I've been here twice at this place and my best friend joclyn hooked me up helping out with my best friends birthday party this is best place to through a party and the best place to get your VR gaming night on this place the number 1 gaming spot in all of Louisiana ????????????????

Super fun and immersive. It's so nice to be able to walk around instead of standing still at home. I'd recommend bringing a group and paying for the party package.

I went with a group of four and had so much fun. I don't play video games (since N64). The ladies working this night explained everything very well, were very patient, and even let us go overtime so we could win. I did die the most and learned about my mistakes afterwards because they were little things gamers already know. it was so fun we couldn't stop talking about it and going over everything that happened. It was a scary zombie game, but the scary stuff was also fun. And we got a good amount of tips to

Awesome experience! 10/10 Great workers, super nice and helpful! Games were fun too!

I had a blast! i absolutely loved this experience 10000/10.

Staff was so helpful in explaining everything and how it works and the experience is so worth it, definitely coming back with more friends!

Me and hubby came here for one of our regular date nights and whew did we have fun! We played Colony Code Red and my hubby and I really enjoyed playing although a little scary lol. Location is good, and the overall space for the experience was great too! I ran around so much I thought I was going to have a heart attack and let's just say I did not need to go to the park/gym after that to get my exercise on lol. The owners were super friendly and helpful and made the experience itself that much better! I aga

Celebrated my son's 10th birthday and all of the kids had a blast! Such a fun, first time experience. The staff is amazing, super helpful and welcoming, the space is great and even the parents were entertained with board games! We will definitely be back. Love supporting new, small businesses and highly recommend. Thanks again for such a wonderful party!

Had a blast! No one in the group had ever done VR. The owner was so helpful and showed us exactly how to use the equipment. We did the prison break escape room. It was truly an amazing experience. We can't wait to go back and try the other games. Don't sleep on this one go out and try it!

This was our first experience with VR and we had so much fun! The person who helped us was extremely nice and explained everything really well. We highly recommend people to go and try it out

I threw my son?s 11th birthday party here and it was the best decision. I didn't have to do anything except show up. The owner took care of all the party essentials; food, cake, drink etc. It was so simple and easy, I hope he wants the same party next year because the kids had some much fun and didn't want to leave. Thanks you guys for making his birthday party a success.

We had an amazing time thank you so much I really enjoyed myself

We came to celebrate my son's 15th birthday! We had so much fun. We can't wait to come back!

This is a very nice safe place to bring your kids. My teens love it. The staff make every experience personal and makes sure all your needs are met, no matter what it is!. They even have a party room . We visit them a least twice a month.

Our VR experience was great and the staff are extremely helpful. 10/10 recommend to anyone

Seen off of TikTok this was a great experience definitely recommend. My girls and I loved it

I had such a great time for my birthday yesterday! They were so patient and accommodating and the games were so fun! Definitely will be back especially on Tuesdays ($20 on a Tuesday)! They are black owned as well and will continue to support.

Lots of fun. Everyone was very kind and helpful even though we weren't great at it. Thanks for letting us be here.

We booked for my son's birthday because he loves virtual reality gaming. I had way more fun than I thought I would. The staff was excellent at giving instruction and very accommodating. We will definitely be returning.

10/10 experience! So fun. Came here for a date night and we had a blast.

Very fun experience. I'm a VR enthusiast since the early days of oculus and the DK 1&2 and I loved it! We played the kernal game which was a team based shooter and we played with 6 players. It was perfect for us and everyone had fun. Highly recommend!

Fun time for my son and his friend. Great information and communication from Jia. We will be back!

So much fun! We had 5 people playing a player v player game. The hosts were great at walking us through the process and explaining the game so new players could catch up quickly. Will definitely be back.

This is a wonderful place and me and my family had so much fun, lots of yelling and lots of targeting. Lol we had fun thanks for the laughs love from a big fan.

This was so much fun! My friends and I really enjoyed the Mission Z and Death Squad games. We were screaming and kiki?ng the whole time. The owner and staff were amazing and very informative.

We enjoyed ourselves! Glad to see something new & fun for people of all ages, come to New Orleans! If you want to take your virtual gaming experience to the next level.....get off the game system & go be in the game!

Amazing experience. We had never played VR before, but Jocelyn gave us a great orientation and recommended the perfect game. The controls were intuitive and the difficulty ramped up slowly enough that we could get comfortable with the experience. Definitely coming back!

Was a great first experience. Time flew, but it was so much fun regardless. Made for a great birthday celebration.

Planned to visit New Orleans in January, and thought this would be a fun activity to do while here. Booked an appt for January on December 15th and showed up on time to my appt at 5p on January 7th, even got an email the day before asking if I could confirm my appt for the following day! I show up to my appt to the doors being locked, no biggie, it was around 450 to 455p when I showed up. Waited outside hoping someone would show up soon. A few minutes after 5, the doors are still locked. I called, just for

SO much fun!! Everyone was so nice and the game we played was a blast :) we'll definitely be back!

Great time playing the game and I'm not a gamer by any means!! We drove from an hour away and it was worth the drive. I wish there was one of these places in my town. It would do amazing!

We booked Another World NOLA for my son's 10th birthday party. They had an absolute blast, and we enjoyed watching their reactions to the games. Plus, the game room was more like a living room with a big sofa, board games, and best of all, a playstation and xbox. The kids who were out of VR for a rotation had just as good of a time in the game room. In the VR arcades, the kids played free roam VR games, which is different from the VR experiences kids can have at home. In the larger space, the kids played Sh

If you need something different to do in New Orleans this is definitely the wave. We tried the B block prison break and man it was fun. It was a little challenging too but nonetheless 10/10 experience. I've been 2x so far definitely going back.

I brought 5 boys and they had the best 2 hours! It was effortless for me as a parent and their prices are extremely reasonable. The owners were great at wrangling them all. They loved the vr and the break room where they could play other video games. They all want to go back. Would be a great place for a birthday party. My husband and I are planning a date night there too

This place was really cool! I came on a date night and played 2 rounds I believe of the zombie. So fun! I don't think I've had fun like that in a long time. I would totally recommend and I'm definitely coming back.

I had a wonderful time at Another World Nola, the games were easy to play and super fun with my friends. We played Mission Z and Death Squad! I would definitely come back soon!

This was my first time experiencing virtual reality and it was so great! The games were fun and the host did a wonderful job giving an orientation and explaining the rules. I would definitely return here and bring others! Two thumbs up! Highly recommended!

Very entertaining! Had a great time with friends. Experienced good assistance from the workers.

I went for my sisters birthday and it was the best experience I've had with VR. Such a fun thing to do with family and friends.

Thank you!!! So worth it, owner worked with me on what I needed and was extremely sweet it was a blast definitely recommend!!! And we're definitely going again!!!

Great place and great people. My son had his birthday here recently and they had alot of fun. Great place for gamers to have fun together

Omg this was so fun . Our game master joseline was soooo fun as well. This was a whole vibe . If you're ever in the area , check them out.

Was super fun and the game operator (Jocelyn) was super down to earth and made sure we had a great experience

We had a BLAST here at Another World! The owners are so kind and help you throughout the process. There are multiple games and multiple levels of difficulty. You can choose between playing against your friends or with your friends! We did the zombie and alien games and it was so fun!

This experience is so incredible. I'm someone who doesn't game but I 100% love the VR experience I had at another world.

Went with some friends and had a great time! Staff was super friendly. We got to try the new escape room simulation. Can't wait to see them grow. Would recommend.

YOU MUST GO!!!!!!!! This was so much fun!! I have never played free roam VR before and didn't know what to expect but the owners clearly explained everything and assisted with all of our needs! The space is very cool and very clean!! We played cubes and safe night, definitely would recommend both of them - can play both with 2 or more people. safe night is especially good if you're a group of 4. We will totally be going back!!

Highly recommend if you want to have fun with family and friends, even for a date night. We came across this place looking for something to do and will definitely come back. The ladies were very thorough super nice and helpful definitely makes the experience so much better.

Had an absolute blast killing zombies and aliens with my work crew at Another World NOLA. Two hours after leaving we were still talking about how much fun we had. We'll definitely be returning! Go check them out!!!

We had a great time and the staff was awesome! We will definitely be back. Thanks guys!

So fun and incredible experience. Owners are great people! Definitely invite your friends for a great time

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
