Customer Reviews

What an incredible experience! My wife, sister, and I had an absolute blast doing the VR escape room ? it far exceeded our expectations. The puzzles were immersive and challenging in the best way, and the technology made us feel like we were truly in another world. What really set the experience apart, though, was the owner, Wes. He was extremely professional, welcoming, and clearly passionate about making sure everyone has a great time. He explained everything thoroughly and made us feel totally comfortab

Being a north stone oak mom, I couldn't be happier that we made the drive here for my sons 7th birthday. Wes and Jeremy were so friendly and accommodating to our needs. We all agree that this is BY FAR the best VR experience in town with many options (both mini game and longer) to choose from. I am eternally grateful that we found this place and the kids loved it so much. I want to try an adult date night experience here next. Love the 80s arcade theme and music with attention to detail. Wish I could give t

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this experience. The games were fun and challenging but not too bad to where we couldn't enjoy the game. I also loved the vibrating vest because you could feel when the zombies would hit you (it's was just a short vibration in the vest). I also remember wishing I could take pictures of us playing and the owner was already on it. I can't wait to come back with more friends.

We hosted our son?s 9th birthday party here, and the kids had an absolute blast! Wes, the owner, was fantastic throughout the whole process. He offered a tour/preview of the place before we booked, he answered all my questions, and he guided the kids through the entire VR game process. It was great that 12 kids could play at once, which I found unique in this city. It was also fantastic to have the place to ourselves for the party. Wes took photos and videos as the kids were playing, and he sent them all

SO FUN! Will def be coming back. At first didn't know what to expect, but the staff was super nice and detailed, the game was SO thrilling (zombies) and they even take a video and picture for you! Thanks for making my hubby?s b day so memorable. It

I had an incredible VR experience. The owner was extremely welcoming and guided us through everything, making sure we had a great time. The prices were very reasonable, and we even got to play some free mini games while we waited. But what really impressed me was the variety of games they had to choose from - there was something for everyone! Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and unique experience. We can't wait to come back!

I had a blast with my coworker and his son. The mini game package was great! The price was very reasonable for how much time we got to play! I highly recommend this place for a fun night with friends.

Had an amazing experience. It was my first time doing VR and my 7 year old son enjoyed every minute! You can tell the owner put great thought into the details!

Came with family to check this place out. West the owner was great. West explained step by step what to do and how it works. Once we actually started playing omg it was so much fun and easy to use equipment. Def will come back! They do cater to bday parties as well.

for Christmas, my son said we would have a mommy and me day so I invited my daughter and her husband and we played the five mini games. I have not laughed so much in a while and had so much fun. It was physically exerting, but it was awesome. Would recommend anybody to take their family to go. We definitely will be coming back.

We celebrated my daughter?s 11th birthday party here with a Glow Theme party and it was perfect. All the girls had a great time , loved the game selections, and didn't want to leave when party time was up. They spent two hours laughing and squealing with so much fun. The package and pricing is a good value and it was easy to book and organize too. We will definitely be going back for summer time fun.

Went here for my birthday as a party of 4. This place was awesome! My older sister was hesitant at first as she doesn't really play games but she loved it. The controls are easy to pick up and they explain everything to you. We did the 5 mini games and we were so sweaty by the end my makeup melted off lol. You will need to touch up makeup if you have plans after this place. We had the best time, my siblings said it was their favorite thing of the day (we are all in our 20s and early 30s). At the end they ai

Took my family for my sons 14th birthday, we had an amazing time! Was not sure how it would work with my 5 year old but he was fitted with a vest and headset and had the time of his life! Definitely will be returning! 10/10 recommend!

Super fun experience with the kids! Loved all the games we played and even got a lil workout. The videos and pictures were free too! Highly recommend????

This place was amazing!! Our twin boys celebrated their 7th bday party with their friends & they had so much fun! Wes also made the experience great & had great communication! We will definitely be coming back! Thank you for an amazing bday experience for boys & their friends! I'm sure one they will never forget! 100% recommend!

My son and family had so much fun. They couldnt stop talking about how everything was. Wesley thank you and your staff for making their first time experience memorable. Definetly recommending your guys and looking forward to scheduling more events with you.

Great place! Had way more fun than I expected to! Very friendly staff and nice facility. Will definitely be back

Best experience ever!!!!! You will not be disappointed! Wes(the owner) was very welcoming and friendly, he even recommended a VR game for us to play because we were fairly new to the experience. He went over all safety measures clearly, carefully, and even let us know we could ask him for help through the headset if necessary. Overall this was definitely a 10/10 experience.

This was absolutely amazing. I did it with my boys, age 25 / 16 / and 7 and we all throughly enjoyed it. I wasn't sure I would like it or how I would do with VR but it was awesome and we all had so much fun. Definitely try it, we will again before we leave!!!

Jacked-In VR was awesome. Went to play the Eclipse Escape Room with my girlfriend for my birthday and it was a blast. A few days later and we're still talking about how much fun it was. Don't look for us on the record board tho please.

Fantastic place to have fun with 2+ people. Zombies was the best game for us. We enjoyed ourselves and definitely will come again. Highly recommended. ????

Took my wife here for our date night and our first VR gaming experience and absolutely loved it! Wes was awesome and we had some technical difficulties with the first game which he quickly fixed, and gave us a free mini game after which my wife and I both loved. Thank you Wes well definitely be back! Can't recommend this place enough

This experience was awesome! The person that helped us out was kind, and the game was super fun. We did Chronoscape, and honestly, it was a hard one. But I would definitely try again, maybe the same version so I could try to get farther!

Amazing VR place!!! West(owner) was fantastic very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful to my two kids! 10/10 would definitely recommend next time we are in San Antonio I will be back!!

My son had his 12th birthday party here and it was great! All of the boys had a lot of fun and the owner went out of his way to make sure the party went smoothly. There is room in front with two tables that was perfect for a party of up to 10 kids. I highly suggest Jacked-In VR for a fun place to have a kids birthday party!

Was looking for some spring break activities. I searched VR places and though they're some that have a bar and food. This place is WAY better for adults with kids. Though after playing my husband and I want date night here too. The games up front are free to play while you wait. Th games are fun and great selections of different games. We did the 5 mini games and it was SO fun! My kiddo liked the cooking one. The owner blonde tall guy is super nice, accommodating, informative and easy going. Bathrooms can u

My husband loved our first experience! We will definitely be going back soon! Jeremy was great at teaching us how to play VR! Very great experience overall!

We drove 3 hours from south Texas to take our students on a field trip to this place. The students had the best time. The owners were so attentive, making sure everyone was having a great time, and playing every game. The VR games so cool! Everything was so clean and organized! Wish we could give them 10 stars! Thank you for having us!

Came here for my nephew?s 11th birthday today and had a BLAST ! There were 5 of us this time around and we did 3 scenes. We will be back throughout the summer !

Awesome first time experience! Jerome was very informative and talked us through the missions. Definitely recommend 10/10!

This place is pretty awesome! We have a family of 5 and did the mini games. We had so much fun! Definitely will be back again!

Wes, was an awesome host and owner 100% the best VR experience I've ever had in my life!! so realistic: very fair price you for the full hour 100% recommend the full hour!

Best place ever to take your family or friends to experience a high tense, interactive, and memorable experience!!! Wes is patiently great at making sure first timers are confidant in wrecking shop and taking names!!! Definately coming back next time we're in San Antonio!

Fantastic Place! Had our Daughter's 10th Birthday there. Great Staff and the Kids loved every minute of it!

Shout to Jeremy for helping us navigate our first VR experience! He was great at explaining how everything will work and ensuring we had a wonderful time! The zombie game "After the Fall" is dope! We will be back again!

10 out of 10 experience it's a must and we can't wait to go again ???? so much fun. My kids and I enjoyed it would definitely recommend! Friendly staff and clean establishment is a plus.

We brought our entire family here to celebrate our son's 8th birthday and it was perfect. I had looked into several different vr places and this was the only one in San Antonio that didn't recommend 13 and older. Everyone had so much fun, we ranged in age 6 to 65. The gentleman who helped us was so patient and nice as he got all 7 of us set up to play. Even as we played we could hear him giving us helpful hints and even made game suggestions for us that were perfect. We have not been able to stop talking ab

Fourth time here. We obviously always have a blast. It's a great activity for children and adults to play together. And as an adult, we're having just as much fun as the kids. Parking is usually pretty easy too. Highly recommend!

OMG!! I had soo much fun here!! West was really nice and helpful. We played Zombies sector X and I screamed a lot ?? we will definitely be coming back. Definitely recommend

What a great time! Came here with family and had so many laughs. Would definitely come care again.

We had an incredible date night here with the prison break out scenario. It was a Friday night and cold out so the place was empty. Jeremy was so helpful. We will definitely be back

SO MUCH FUN! All the games are dynamic and cooperative, engaging and interesting. Jeremy did a great job taking us through it all. Will be coming back!

Had a great . Held a gathering for my sons 13th birthday day. The owner and his staff went out of his way to make it a memorable experience. The games are great and you get lost in the adventure. Highly recommend.

Celebrated my daughters 9th birthday party. She had a blast. Staff was very friendly. All the kids had a great time.

Awesome! 13th birthday party was a total HIT! Highly recommend, and Wes and his staff are professional and extremely well organized. There is a lot of technology and they are top of the game and making sure that everything runs smoothly!

We had such a great time at Jacked In VR! There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said. It's a great experience to do with friends and/or family.

My nephew Jeremiah had a private birthday party. We had lots of fun. It was a good workout. Staff was incredibly friendly. We are planning on coming back. We highly recommend it.

This place was amazing! The owner Wes was so accommodating and kind, and helped us through the entire process. Our wait wasn't long at all, only about 20 minutes. Me and my fiance really had the time of our lives . I got a lil scared at some parts when we split up lol. But overall it was a great experience and next time we will be back with our kids !

Just finished a gaming session with my family of 7! We had an AWESOME time and Jeremy was so cool, responsive, and nice! Thank you so much!!!

My son had an absolute blast at his birthday!

This was the most fun we have had in San Antonio! I honestly felt like I was in the game! It's super easy to learn! Our first ever VR experience and I already can't wait to go back!

This is such a fun and unique place to go for a date night, birthday party, or family outing! The vibes and decor down to every detail are great. The only thing that is a downside is it relies on technology and technology loves to malfunction. I think the owner should make sure there are at least 2 staff members working at all times because when things start going wrong fixing it eats up a lot of time. Even the set up eats into your time if you have purchased by the hours.

Jacked VR in San Antonio offers an incredible virtual reality experience that you and your family will love. The owner, is not only knowledgeable but also makes each visit memorable with his friendly demeanor. My son and I played for over an hour, choosing from a fantastic selection of games, including thrilling zombie survival missions and immersive space adventures. The facility is clean and well-maintained, enhancing the overall experience. If you're looking for an epic outing, Jacked VR is definitely th

Amazing place! Received a good tutorial, had a blast playing as a westerner in a zombie survival game. Would definitely recommend this place a visit, you'll have a great time here. Thanks to the guys at Jacked-In VR!

Super great the guy was very helpful. we did prison break and it was fun, medium difficulty but definitely not too hard to figure out

Awesome experience. My son's first vr experience and he loved it. I have done VR before and the experience was so glitchy and unplayable at times.

Great experience. Definitely makes you feel like you're having a real life experience. Would highly recommend for a great interactive activity.

Awesome experience and very immersive. I have a personal VR at home but was nowhere near as immersive as the setup Wes has here.

This was so much fun my husband and I did this for our 50th and 51st birthday it is a blast would recommend this to all.

Really amazing service!! I called and they weren't open but someone called me back right away, he helped me through the booking process and answered all of my questions. He was super polite, helped me book over the phone. Checked in with us every step of the way and just really made it an all around incredible experience. There was a variety of games we went with the 3 mini games which was perfect. For 3 of us it was around $100 after tax and a military discount of 10% !!! Incredible!! Waivers for the group

We came for my husband 39th birthday and had a blast. I'm definitely coming back again. Everyone had a blast and won't stop talking about it.

We had a amazing time there me and my family will go back. Especially we found out that they do Team building. Would highly suggest this experience you Got to jump in the Game at Jack in vr.

This was the best experience we had. If you haven't been or used VR, this is a MUST!!! West was helpful and provided us on game experience before and during the game. We had full range of motion the game felt real. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out! Choose the Zombie game and you won't regret it.

Amazing place. Me and my daughter had so much fun. I will be back with the rest of my kids to play even longer. You won't be disappointed. Everyone has to check this place out.

I've now played at every free-roam VR place in the SA area? this place and this experience is truly truly awesome!! My little duo and I told Wesley to fire up the most difficult game, so we went in and got the job done on the Last Stand game. ?? I'll be back 100% to try the other big games. It was great to talk with Wesley for a while afterwards - he didn't franchise a Zero Latency or a SandboxVR, he did this on his own and it's an amazing experience. The inside looks so cool with the neon lights - it wa

Took my son here he had a blast! Very fun and lots of games to choose from. The minigame pack is awesome!

The coolest VR experience EVER!! So many variety of games for everyone! Will definitely be back. I'm determined to play and beat every VR Escape Room. 10/10 recommend. Thank you for an amazing time!

We celebrated my Son?s 10th birthday and it was amazing, my Son and his friends had a really great time

Awesome place, Jeremy was an amazing host!!! Party of 7 for a graduation,.. glad we decided to stop by

Great experience! Super fun! Jeremy was very helpful and patient!

Such a fun place! Had a great time taking my family and the environment was great. Games were fun. Definitely recommend for any occasion!

This place was great!! Great service and such a fun experience with my son! Can't thank you enough and we will definitely be going back.

Awesome experience with great service! Will do again and practice my poor aim ?????

This weekend was our second time going and this time the grown ups played after watching the kiddos play last time (and the kids not want to leave). First trip we were looking for a place to host my little one's birthday and this ended up being the perfect after calling around to different places. They made everything so simple and easy and the kids had so much fun. The owner was incredibly helpful in explaining everything to us, from the initial call with questions to the day of, getting everybody set up.

Amazing experience at Jacked-In VR. I played Lunar Scape Breakdown which was fun and very immersive. This is the best spot for VR in San Antonio! Wes the owner is an amazing person.

My girlfriend and I visited for my birthday, we had tons of fun. The owner Wes was very helpful and super friendly, even took time to take a video of us during our playthrough! Just a great experience overall. We will 100% be returning for more!

We had fun! It was just my husband and I, and we did the B Block Breakout. It was medium level and we were successful in getting out! ?? Highly recommend! Clean facilities and options to choose from if you're into easy to hard VR escape rooms!

I took my 5-year-old for her first experience, and it was fantastic. The owner was incredibly patient and helpful, making the visit enjoyable for both of us. We had a blast and will definitely be returning.

Best VR in the city! If you're thinking about trying out a well structured VR experience or just browsing for a fun group activity, this is the spot. Go check them out, super friendly and worth it.

Is was actually really fun and an amazing experience! And I enjoyed it!

Took my son with his friend and they had a blast. They both took off their headset and said ?THAT WAS SICK!? I think that means they loved it. Wes, was terrific. He even took pictures and videos and airdropped them to us! I was worried about motion sickness but after watching the boys?We will definitely be back to try it out ourselves!

Had my son?s 10th birthday party here this past weekend and all the kids raved about how they had fun! Such a fun experience and we will be back to play us adults!

There was no big wait, very affordable, & the owner was extremely helpful. He ensured our experience was fun, memorable, & personable. The kids played for 45-60 minutes and enjoyed it. I would absolutely recommend this place and insist you try it. My kids did the zombie experience for my son?s 9th birthday. My kids are 9,12,&11 they each had fun and enjoyed playing together.

Decided to visit Jacked-In on a whim today and I had the most fun I have had in a very long time! The owner was so welcoming and explained the process completely. Make sure you listen to him when he says not to lean on anything in the game (cause it's not really there). Your brain will trick you, but it was all way more than I expected. We will be back and I want to drag everyone I know with me!

Fun and well games the owner west was nice and the vr game looked so well detailed and looked and sound real overrall 5/5 would recommend!!!

Wes was super accommodating and the facility was clean and cool. We came in very last minute with no idea what this was and he helped us out and set up a one hour game for us. It was epic! Defiantly coming back! It was so much fun!

wasn't sure what to expect totally exceeded my expectations. Wes is very friendly and walked us through the gaming experience. Can't wait to come back!

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.

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.”
