Booking

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, booking is essential to secure your slot. Weekends and school holidays often fill up a week ahead. Book online: instant confirmation.

How do I book?

Online at bassinvr.fr/en/book: choose your date, slot and number of players. Secure card payment, instant confirmation by email.

Can I book for just one player?

Yes, from 1 player in the large arena: if other players book the same slot, you play with them. The small arena can be booked from 2 players. On Mondays and Tuesdays, we only open for bookings of at least 4 players.

Can I change my booking?

Yes, up to 24 hours before the session, by contacting us. Within 24 hours, changes depend on availability and may incur a fee.

Age and access

What's the minimum age?

The large arena from age 8, the small arena from age 6 depending on the game (some adventures from 12 or older), axe throwing from 14 and suction-cup axes from 6 to 13. Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult.

Is the centre wheelchair accessible?

The centre has step-free access and accessible toilets. If you need anything specific, contact us before your visit so we can get everything ready for you.

VR comfort

Will I feel sick?

The vast majority of players don't feel sick in free roam, because the physical movement matches what they see. For a first time, choose a teleport game: no continuous movement, so no risk.

Can I play with glasses on?

Yes, the headsets fit over most frames. Protective foam pads are available for glasses wearers.

Should pregnant women avoid it?

Yes. As a precaution, we advise pregnant women not to do VR, in line with the manufacturers' recommendations. The arena involves a lot of physical movement.

The experience

How long does a session last?

Allow about 1 hour on site: briefing, kitting out, actual play (usually 30 minutes), then debrief and scores. Arrive 20 minutes before your slot to check in.

What is free-roam VR?

You move freely around a real 200 m² arena while immersed in a virtual world. You walk, run and interact: your body does the moving, not a joystick.

Prices

Are there any extra charges?

No. The price shown is the final price, including VAT. Headset, backpack and controllers are included, with no equipment or service fees.
