The Good Stuff
Game Variety
There are multiple games and categories, so groups can choose beyond the zombie theme.
Team Play
The sci-fi team story play kept every member of one first-time group involved throughout the session.
Helpful Guidance
First-timers repeatedly mention patient explanations and support during the game, including help with questions while playing.
Family Friendly
A seven-year-old enjoyed playing the zombie game with a parent, suggesting the experience can work for family groups.
Party Package
One birthday package included food, a private room for eating and board games, and five VR games.
Tips for a Better Visit
Book Ahead. Call to reserve a slot, especially if you have a group; one reviewer specifically advised booking to avoid disappointment.
Confirm Audio. Before starting, ask what headset and audio setup your session includes, since one visitor initially found the open room too noisy.
Confirm Timing. Check the paid session length and what happens if equipment fails before you begin, after one visitor reported a 30-minute booking ending at 15 minutes.
Use Parking. If you are driving, a review reports plenty of parking at Burjuman Centre.
Pick Your Theme. Ask about alternatives if zombies are not your preference; reviews mention dinosaurs and monsters alongside City-Z.

The Bottom Line
ANVIO Virtual Reality is a group-focused VR amusement center in Al Mankhool, with wire-free play rooms designed for shared games. The clearest crowd favourite is City-Z, a zombie scenario that reviewers describe through its detailed graphics, sound effects and surprise attacks. For first-timers, the sci-fi team story play is another strong choice because everyone in one group stayed engaged.
The experience suits friends, families and celebrations. A parent played the zombie game with a seven-year-old, while a birthday review describes a package with chosen food, a separate room for eating and board games, and five VR games. The venue also caters to groups; one party of eight played in two sets.
Staff guidance is a recurring strength, with visitors mentioning careful explanations and support during play. There are a couple of practical points to clarify before starting: one review reports a 30-minute booking ending after 15 minutes when a headset battery died, and another found mall noise and nearby players distracting when sound was initially unavailable. Ask about the headset, audio and session timing in advance.
If driving, a review mentions plenty of parking at Burjuman Centre, and calling ahead is advised when you want to secure a game slot.
