Max & Jason Fire from FM Visit Centre VR
Breakfast show presenters try VR For the first time
See how Max and Jason from Fire Radio enjoyed their visit to Centre VR to launch the online radio advertising campaign for Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre.
The two breakfast show presenters tried their hands, for the first time ever in VR, at Beat Saber, cooking in Job Simulator, shooting aliens in Space Pirate Trainer, and shooting each other in Tower Tag.
Sadly, the competition is over, so please don’t enter now — it’s too late! But enjoy the video!

"Me and my mate and his nipper only got to play Tower Tag, but it was really good fun. Highly recommended, especially to those who've not experienced the wonder of stepping into the modern virtual world yet."

"The whale encounter and coral reef I did do were gorgeous though. Staff is friendly and professional. They help you the whole time if you need it. It's clean and spacious- we're definitely going back."

"We had a 15 minute game of laser tag and loved it! It’s something you have to try, watching other people play doesn’t look fun until you try it for yourself."
– Mark B. | TripAdvisor
"Thought it was great - lots of space for gamers and also a PC area as well. Snack and hot drink machines as well as a kitchen area, party room and toilets. Would definitely recommend it"

5 mates, 1 hour and a lot of laughs. This is great fun is you like having fun and want to experience gaming in a different way. You don't need to be a gaming geek or pro player as this is perfect for all levels. Highly recommended. 1 hour just wasn't enough.

We had a great time at centre VR this morning. In light of the current situation I can assure you that the staff were very thorough with the cleaning of headsets etc. They also went above and beyond to give my daughter and her brother a memorable birthday morning and even persuaded me and my husband to have a go at 'tower tag' which was great fun. Thank you so much. I hope people will continue to support you in the weeks ahead.

Centre VR is a great place for a party. The children thoroughly enjoy it and there’s plenty of seating for the adults. A party room is provided too, where you can order in your own food. Highly recommend Centre VR. Tim and Charlie are very helpful.

We booked for 6 on the Sunday afternoon, however phoned to transfer to the Friday evening due to weather concerns. Centre VR could not have been any more helpful and accommodating. It was my youngest son’s birthday and from the moment we arrived till when we left, the staff were friendly and supportive. Even for me! The staff explained how everything works, obviously the kids took to it straight away! I however, took a bit longer to master, the staff helped the technophobe (me), and I was enjoying the catalogue of available games within 5 minutes. I was the last person to down the headset and controllers at the end of our session! Didn’t want it to stop. Visit again?? Hell yeah!

My son and I had the BEST time at Centre VR yesterday, and as it was a bit quieter when our hour was due to end, they were very kind and generous in letting us play for longer (without interrupting our play either). I ended up playing longer than the 11 year old!! 😂 Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back 👍👍

"Had the pleasure of meeting the staff, a wonderfully bright and knowledgeable team, they helped me to understand the games as this was my first time using a VR system. Totally and a fantastic time had by all in my group."

Had my son's 9th birthday at Richmond Gardens Shopping Centre BH1, The Manager Tim was fantastic. I phoned prior to ensure everything was sorted which it was. We arrived slightly early and they let the children start early. They took time with each one to set them up and teach them through the VR. If they were stuck they were right there to help. Accommodating kind and fantastic time had by all. The team on Tim the Manager , Katie, Oskari and Ollie were fantastic

Good space, good VR. Took a while for staff to answer calls when pressing help within the game, but for VR definitely the best place I've been to. Would prefer the controllers of the Rift S or HP Reverb, as the controllers aren't as user friendly for some games, but you can't fault them for getting the most expensive VR units.

We had the best time all together at Centre VR. From booking the staff even on the phone were so helpful and gave us a great special offer on the Assassin's Creed game. When we arrived again all the staff were so friendly. My husband didn't know the game all that well but he and our older son soon got the hang of it and very vocally together had a great time. It was so funny to watch them climbing and risking their lives in the game. You can sit and watch both what they're doing on the screen and them. They finished the game before the session was up so the staff let our daughters have a go. They absolutely loved it. One went under the sea which she loved and the other became a virtual Santa. It's a really lovely atmosphere in the place as each of the staff get very involved and you quickly feel relaxed. We can't wait to go again.

We visited with my partners nephew and there was so much for him to explore through the games and experiences there were to offer. We finished our session with a group tower game and for someone who’s never games before the team were so helpful with advice and very patient. We can’t wait to come back! Thankyou for such a lovely experience
