Customer Reviews

First time for me and the team doing a VR escape room. I've done many classic escape rooms before but we wanted to try something different and VR escape fit the bill. We decided to go with the newest "room": Alien Infection (as of June 2025). It exceeded my expectations. Everyone had a great time! I highly recommend this.

We were looking for something fun and different to do for Mother?s Day, so the six of us decided to try out a VR escape room at Scorch VR in Chandler. We've done tons of traditional escape rooms before, but never a VR one?so we weren't sure what to expect. Plus, most of us had zero experience with VR games, so we were a little nervous about how it would go. We picked Pirate?s Plague, and when we arrived, Angel was there to help us out. He got us geared up, patiently answered our million questions, and walk

I am a grandmother who didn't think she'd have fun but I WAS WRONG! My grandson and I went for a birthday gift and we both had a BLAST! We will DEFINITELY be going back! The prices are great and the staff (thank you Angel!) were amazing!

Went here with wife, sister in law and son, we made burgers, shot zombies, shot each other and had a blast. Staff are excellent, friendly and willing to help in whatever way they can. Would highly recommend for a great night of fun. Will return for sure!

We took our granddaughter that is in high school and her boyfriend on our first visit and had an incredible time! The staff was very helpful and everyone left wanting to play more. A few days later we took the 10 and 11 year old grandkids and had just as much fun. Now when we ask them what they want to do it's always Scorch VR.

Went here with 4 of us (all engineers) and we had such a blast!!! We want to do this again and are thinking about events (our employee network groups or just another hang out). The owner is very good and fun to talk to as well. This was my first time trying anything like this?. I appreciate so much spacing and good instruction, we never had anything happen to us. We were very much immersed in the experience. The quality of the world is amazing!!! Really able to forget and be in the moment. We played

Surprised my bf with a booked Vr game we did the dragon tower one loved it & beat it We got to play another game which was out of space? it was pretty tuff but we also beat it Duration was an hour for both games They gave us water prior too He loved it, thanks John we'll be back !

My wife and I came here for our first time and let me tell you this place won't disappoint you. They are very friendly and very descriptive on how to properly use everything. We played depths of Osiris and we had alot of fun and we beat it with 2 minutes remaining. Will definitely come back to play the other games they have. I 100% recommend this to everyone.

5 STARS ISN?T HIGH ENOUGH! John was such a great guy from start to finish-my wife and I did this for our 10th anniversary and had an unforgettable FUN experience. We did the shark/underwater one and had a blast!! With a little help we passed??. Wanted to do another one right after! STRONGLY RECOMMEND Scorch VR to visitors or locals! Would come back in a flash! A+++++

What an incredibly fun activity to do as a family, for date night, with friends or team building! We went as a family and had a blast! John, the owner, was super friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and will be back, for sure!

We love to show our friends the VR here. Already planning on coming back again and the staff is always so sweet and kind. Thank you scorch vr!

Had really fun games, and the employees were super chill. 10/10 would recommend

My fianc? and I did the haunted mansion for date night. It was so much fun! The perfect balance of puzzles and action. The owner John is also awesome. We will be back!

I have never done and escape room or VR. I was very hesitant because the idea of an escape room never appealed to me, not good with puzzles or timed puzzles. Add to that video games kinda raise my anxiety level. I went with my wife and teen nephew. It was absolutely awesome! We did Space Station Tiberia. According to the owner that one was more clue based and entry level. It was perfect. The VR was so incredible and very responsive. So immersive! Great team building, working together to progress through t

We had an incredible experience, went 6-15, Talk about so much fun. The organizers were wonderful and incredibly helpful, making the event a truly amazing one. We are diffently going again very soon.

Took my daughter and we had so much fun. Challenging but we figured it out and had a great time doing it. Very cool experience. Owner was very patient with us trying to decide what to choose and very helpful. Planning our next Escape soon. ??

Escape Rooms will never be the same. We did the Orsis room, screw those crabs!!! The owner, John?, was great and hearing what he put into it, hopes more experience this. Oh also BYOB license, cool to have.

My family and I went for mother's day and we most definitely be back very soon. As others have said John was amazing, helpful, and kind and the overall experience was awesome. Everyone enjoyed themselves and then some.

Me and my wife had a great time! We did the hounted house escape room and a couple of the games. Great way to have fun and getbout of the heat!

Had my son's birthday party here, tons of fun, nice place, will be back!

Just completed a session with my husband and brother. It was super fun and very interactive. We did the under water one and it was great. We completed the mission and the owner was very helpful! Definitely coming back.

This was our first VR experience and it was absolutely fantastic. John is so great and friendly. We liked it so much that we are going back again this weekend. You will not be disappointed.

Such a wonderful time!! Talked about it all night long and making plans to bring friends and family next time for several future visits. A great experience, so much fun!! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

Great time! My BF took me for Valentine's. Best date night! Kept me moving and solving puzzles with a few jump scares ??

This place is absolutely amazing. I had so much fun. Definitely referring all my friends and I'm going to book again very soon

First Vr escape room I've done and the experience was really fun. I will def go back and try some of the others and the owner was very nice and explained everything in detail.

Great fun! We had an amazing time and it was the perfect addition to our vacation. Great service to boot.

What a blast!! We had a great time. We will definitely go again

My kids had a blast!

Great spot for fun. Great interactivity. Love this spot.

It was super fun, but the equipment kept malfunctioning so we had to re-start a few times. Worse, the terms they make you sign are absurd. I would host a corporate and/or Bday party here except I can't reasonably ask people to sign all their rights away to play a video game.

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.”
