Had an amazing experience at Zero Latency Schaumburg! I've heard about this free-roam VR concept before but finally got to try it?and it exceeded expectations. The setup is top-notch, with a sleek, immersive, and well-designed environment that truly brings the games to life. We played Warcry, which was action-packed and perfect for a fun outing with kids, friends or family. Special shoutout to Sagar, one of the partners?he's a true professional and made sure we had a smooth and memorable experience. He al

I had an amazing time playing the zombie game at Zero Latency virtual reality! I was in town visiting Chicago from Alabama for other events and decided to try this out with my family and it turned out to be so much fun. None of us are really into gaming, but this experience was awesome. It felt so real. The setup was great, and everything worked smoothly. I would definitely recommend trying it out, even if you're not a gamer. Totally worth it !!

What an amazing time we had at Zero Latency VR in Schaumburg!!! Last weekend we celebrated my friend?s birthday there and he absolutely LOVED it! The staff was super friendly and helpful in booking our reservations, as we wanted to play two games back-to-back. We noticed how clean/spacious the game room was and the equipment was clean as well. The staff gave clear instructions and answered all our questions before we started. Given this was our first time trying VR games (and all over 55+), we were a bit ne

It was an absolute blast! I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in VR games. We played Space Marine VR, and the experience was incredible. The gameplay was seamless, and the VR immersion was top-notch. The staff was super friendly, making it even better. Definitely a must-try for VR enthusiasts!

I had an absolutely amazing time at Zero latency, first we decided will play only one game but after the first it went to the games that they offer, the setup is super immersive, and the technology is top-notch everything from the Crystal-clear graphics, zero lag, and full-motion tracking make every move feel real, it felt like I was in multiverse for sure. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, the experience is next-level fun. The environment is well designed, spacious, and perfect for getting lost

Oh my god? what an experience? first time here and it was blast. If you plan to come then come with your team .. it gonnna be fun wild ride.

Very fun experience ! Felt very immersive. Played singularity w 20 y old son and 10 y old daughter and we loved it !

This was so fun! I totally recommend this for families who love playing games together. My family had so much fun playing the zombie VR GAME, Outbreak! Customer service was so amazing, the staff was so kind and friendly!

Such a very fun experience!!! Family friendly, my kids are 10 and 11!! They have rooms appropriate for them and adults to enjoy together!

This was a blast! We went with some family and friends, and played the Space Marine game, and it was a lot of fun! It's very spacious, and everything feels very high-end. I'd definitely go again!

Zero Latency was SUPER FUN for me and my son. We live in Buffalo Grove and going to Sandbox VR in Oakbrook is quite the commute, so when we saw this place open we gave it a shot and had a blast. We played the FarCry experience and it was great. I really enjoyed the fact that you could and are encouraged to roam around the entire room during the experience, compared to Sandbox VR you tend to be confined to a much smaller square area of movement in the actual room, and I think this was the biggest difference

It was a whole lot of fun. The game was awesome looked great. Our host was great and friendly. Definitely recommend. Forgot to mention this in my initial review but getting the highlight videos from our session was a great feature! I'd even pay a little extra for a usb drive or DVD of the entire session both in game and in the room. Or a download link.

Great time came for one game stood for 2. Much more of a workout than you think playing the zombie game. Great host really helped us understand the games and our option big room to play in without worrying about hitting each other. Definitely recommend!!

I came here with my family and I loved it a lot. The experiences we chose were fantastic and had a lot of detail and you could tell that they put a lot of work into this. I would definitely come back here again. Working as a team was definitely a great bonding experience.

I had an amazing time with my Metro by T mobile team at this VR game location! From the moment we walked in, the kind sir made us feel welcome and guided us through everything, which was perfect for many of us who were trying VR for the first time. The setup was amazing along with games. The energy in the space was just awesome. We truly appreciated the exceptional service and the attention to detail that made our experience smooth and memorable. Highly recommend this spot for team outings or just a fun tim

Absolutely the best! My homie and I went here to check out Warhammer and man oh man. It was AWESOME!!! We're definitely coming back to try the lethal version of warhammer. We even got on the board for the year (Noqturnl/Roma)

This is a really great place to have loads of fun. I really enjoyed myself ..... and it is a nice group activity. I was also surprised what a good work out it is - you end up feeling like you have put in some real exercise .... ;-) The staff are quite friendly and very helpful. They made us feel at home. Overall - it is an experience you don't want to miss.

SO MUCH FUN! if you're thinking about it, just go. owner is friendly and explains everything you need to know to be successful in the game. You're able to roam the whole floor & I never felt like I was going to run into a wall. Highly recommend.

What a super fun and exciting VR experience! We were laughing hysterically and killing zombies all at once! I've tried other VR experiences and they were not as much fun of time! Would recommend 10/10!! I want to add that the venue was big and the staff was super helpful funny and friendly. I love that they gave you tips along the way! At the end they helped us take photos and shared videos of our experience! Being able to rewatch the excited is hysterical and priceless! We will definitely be back again!!

I went to Zero Latency with family and friends, and we had an absolute blast! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Whether you're a total beginner or a VR pro, they make sure you feel comfortable and ready to dive. The VR games were amazing. The whole experience was just mind-blowing. We teamed up, strategized, and had so many hilarious moments. It's the kind of fun that brings everyone together. What really impressed me was how well it worked for all ages in our group. Some of us had never tried VR

The virtual experience at this place was amazing! The amount of graphics and details in their quests were fantastic. My whole family was very happy to come here to play as a team and beat the bad guys. I will definitely come back here!!

Huge 40K fan. The experience at ZLVR was top notch. 10/10 will do again.

10/10 experience. The zombie apocalypse was amazing. The video graphics was just top tier.

Great Place, way better than every vr place. Juan, a worker that works there is the best host, very friendly

Awesome time with my entire family!! Ages 8-44 space marine game was intense but simple enough for beginners to play.

Lots of experience with VR. This one was really good. Brought my sister who has little to no experience with video games and we both had a wonderful time. Their big room allows for lots of movement in the game. The controls are very responsive and accurate. Games were fun. Staff was great. Recommend for all ages.

I don't have the words to describe how incredible the VR experience was. Did it with 4 of my closest friends and we had an absolute blast. Would absolutely do it again and again!

Zero Latency VR is hands down the greatest virtual reality experience I've ever had! From the moment you step into the immersive world, it's like you've been transported to another dimension. The technology is top-notch, with zero lag or latency, making every movement feel incredibly smooth and natural. Whether you're battling zombies, exploring new worlds, or solving intricate puzzles, the sense of presence is so realistic, you forget you're in a VR setup. The multiplayer aspect takes things to the next l

I just had my first-ever VR experience at Zero Latency Schaumburg, and it completely blew me away! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was surprised by how realistic it felt. I went with my son and his girlfriend, and we all had an amazing time.There was a minor glitch in our game, but it was quickly resolved. The staff was super helpful and made sure I felt comfortable before starting. If you've never tried VR before, this is the perfect place to experience it for the first time. We're already planning our

We found the zombie outbreak game a good starting point. We tried Space Marines on legacy, and it kicked our butts. Despite the loss, we had lots of fun! The place is clean and spacious. The equipment looked well-maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We are already looking to come back and win this time.

I played Space Marine Vr with my son and we had so much fun... place is brand new , top notch equipment, very clean, very attentive. I game at the time, up to 8 players. We will definitely be back with the entire family

I recently visited Zero Latency VR in Schaumburg, IL, and I have to say, it was an absolutely thrilling experience! This place offers some of the most immersive VR games you can imagine, perfect for hanging out with friends and family. I played four different VR experiences, and each one was unique and exciting in its own way: Far Cry ? If you're a fan of action-packed shooting games, Far Cry in VR is a must-try! The gunplay was intense, and the graphics really made me feel like I was in the middle of a b

We had a kid?s 9th birthday party here at Zero Legacy VR - Schaumburg. All the kids had a blast and want to come back again soon! Mihir and the staff were very accommodating and was wonderful with the kids and ensuring everyone knew what to do and what the best game would be for the age group. I got to play too, the best VR I have ever done! So realistic! (Yes, I did scream a few times ??). Highly recommend for all ages!!!

Zero Latency VR Schaumburg was an unforgettable experience! The free-roam arena, top-tier equipment, and immersive gameplay made it feel like I was truly inside the game. The staff was super helpful, and playing with friends added to the excitement. If you're near Chicago and love gaming or new tech, this place is an absolute must-visit!

Space Marines! Zombies! The experience is great for the price. Bring friends and shoot your way through waves of enemies and, if you're clever, you can learn to walk the spaces between worlds. #noclip

The Outbreak experience was craaaazy and super fun!! Got to shoot some zombies and freak out all at the same time. The hosts were great, very helpful and sweet. Would come back again!

Great experience and personable owner. Had a lot of fun with the Zombie Outbreak VR experience - would definitely recommend as a couples event or with friends. Definitely coming back next year.

The Zero Latency VR game was an incredible experience! It truly felt like stepping into a real 3D world, making the immersion absolutely thrilling. The training and technology were impressive, with well-structured instructions on using the equipment, followed by a helpful video session. After completing the game, you can view your score on a large screen, adding to the excitement. I highly recommend this experience to everyone?it's a fantastic way to have fun with friends and family!

Very cool experience! It's really immersive and makes you feel like you're in the game world. Highly recommend ?Outbreak? for the zombies! Seasoned (in a sense) VR player that's impressed with what's on offer here.

Friendly and very fun definitely will come again

Loved this experience! My boyfriend and I had a lot of fun on our date night! Would definitely recommend and we will be back with friends and family. Would recommend having a tint on the windows to prevent those outside the building from seeing inside, made it awkward at first. But overall 10/10 experience!

Tried this place out today with a few folks from work. amazing experience! Highly recommend it, and it's a great team building activity. It's a bit surreal, and it took a while to realize that the floor doesn't matter. The location is nice, and the owner is real nice and great to work with.

Visited Zero Latency in Schaumburg and was completely blown away by the experience. The wireless VR setup is seriously impressive ? no cords to trip over and tons of space to move around. I was surprised by how fully immersive the games were. The graphics were sharp and realistic. The gear was comfortable even during fast-paced moments and over one hour of playing.

Juan is a great game master. Very spacious room with a variety of games to play here. Soda, juice, and water are available to purchase between games.

WOW!! We did the Singularity game with the kids, and we all had a great time! We've done VR before, but this is more immersive, zero lag and sooo much more fun! The graphics are amazing, headsets are comfortable for adults and kids, the equipment is fast responsive, we really felt like we were in another world. It was nice to see the kids working together talking to each other, and we had a great time with an active game!

Zero Latency as a concept, seems very well conceived and executed. My experience with VR devices is quite limited, but it was very easy to go along and just have a blast. We got what we were promised, a truly immersive experience! A younger version of myself or my kids today would feel compelled to stay on for more experiences. For our first visit, a couple of my friends and I tried our hand at saving the world from an 'Outbreak'. It had been a while since I had donned a VR headset, but I got the hang of

I recently tried Zero Latency VR, and it was absolutely mind-blowing! Unlike traditional VR setups where you're stuck in one spot, this experience offers full-body movement in a massive free-roam space, making it feel incredibly real. The graphics were impressive, the gameplay was immersive, and the wireless equipment made it easy to move around without feeling restricted.

Visited Zero Latency VR yesterday and played Space Marine VR ? what an insane experience! The wireless, free-roam setup made it feel like I was actually on the battlefield. The graphics were sharp, gameplay was intense, and the teamwork element took it to the next level. Totally immersive and worth it. If you haven't tried it yet ? do it. 10/10.

One of the best experiences I've had in my lifetime. This place is underrated. The vibes and way of playing the game feels amazing, definitely worth your money and TIME!!

It was a fantastic experience and great workout. Thank you guys for bringing such a nice experience in our city ??

I recently had the best time at Zero Latency VR, and I can confidently say it was one of the most immersive and thrilling experiences I've ever had! From the moment I stepped in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and made sure we were all set up for the adventure. Once the game started, I completely lost track of reality?it genuinely felt like stepping into another world. The free-roam setup is what makes it so special; being able to move around freely without wires holding you back adds a whole new level

We visited Zero Latency Schaumburg this week and were totally awed by the experience and the technology. We expressed our hesitancy since I did not know what to expect. We were given an orientation by a friendly enthusiastic staff member, a detailed explanation of the process and guided through to the steps. I wasn't sure if I would make it through the 30 mins session but I don't know how the time just few by. The VR experience was sooo real and truly engaging. We were 4 in our group and formed teams. This

Love the amount of space given to run around and give space depth when you go to certain parts of the map. We played the space marines and had a BLAST!

Juan and the manager are great. They were very flexible and understanding for a bachelor party. Will recommend

Compared to my one other VR experience, the free roam aspect of Zero Latency really captures the virtual reality experience. I can't review the other experiences, but Warhammer was awesome. I've never played Warhammer, though this experience convinced me want to try it. I would 100% come back again. Sagar was our game master, and he was awesome. He was friendly and helpful.

For opening just short of 2 months ago its pretty good! At least 10 headsets, can adjust volume and headset sizing, has a mic to talk to teammates. Has tables to rest your belongings on while you play and a bathroom in the back!

Incredible experience, Juan our host was tops in every aspect. The game itself is so addictive., we are definitely coming back for more experiences. Highly recommend.

10/10 recommend!! Juan was very friendly and explained everything to the tea. I would definitely be back here. -Dee McKinley

Such a good time! Last minute activity for us. Wish it was longer. The after action videos and score card emailed is awesome to watch. We will be back!

It was an incredible experience! You feel like you're inside the game and have the best time! I'll definitely come back 100% ???? it's a highly, highly recommended activity!

This was amazing. I've done VR Experiences in the past but the arenas were small; THIS arena was huge! The levels in the Warhammer VR were awesome. They had levels that had multiple floors and levels and Mihir and Rina were awesome and fun game masters. He was super informative and helped us feel right at home! I would definitely do this again especially on Hard mode for the Space Marine VR. The equipment was clean, the venue was large and the experience was awesome. 10/10

Incredible experience- first time doing it and it's intense! Makes you move and you break a sweat. Highly recommended. Only got better as it progressed. Don't like the zombies.

I recently visited Zero Latency VR and had an absolutely thrilling experience playing their zombie game. From the moment I put on the headset, I was fully immersed in a heart-pounding world overrun by the undead. The realism of the graphics, combined with the freedom to move around, made every moment feel intense and exhilarating. The gameplay was seamless and incredibly engaging, making it an unforgettable adventure. I had a blast battling waves of zombies alongside my friends, and the adrenaline rush was

This was a crazy experience. Came here for A bachelor party and we needless to say left with a fulls day worth of cardio. Highly recommend this if you love space marines and zombies.

My son (11),me and my husband had an awesome experience. Me someone who isn't a gamer loved it and two gamers (hubby and son) also loved it. Great for all.

As a 63-year-old, I never imagined myself stepping into the world of virtual reality, but I recently had the opportunity to visit Zero Latency VR in Schaumburg, and I am so glad I did! My kids took me there as a surprise, and it turned out to be an experience I'll never forget. I played Engineerium, and although I was initially quite nervous, the experience turned out to be absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Zero Latency VR to anyone, regardless of age. If I can do it and love it, so can you! I can't w

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.”
