Looking for an exciting group activity, birthday party venue or corporate team-building experience in Dubai? VR Point Dubai offers something very different from a traditional gaming arcade.
Located in Al Quoz, VR Point is a premium, free-roam virtual reality venue where groups can move through a private 100-square-metre arena while experiencing full-body tracking and sensory effects such as wind, heat, scents and weapon recoil.
The venue is designed for friends, families, birthday groups and corporate teams, with a separate premium lounge featuring leather sofas, PlayStation 5 gaming, refreshments and space to relax between sessions.
In this vendor spotlight, we speak to Zalim Erizhokov from VR Point Dubai about the motivation behind the business, the challenges involved in launching such an innovative concept and what makes the experience different from other VR attractions in Dubai.
What is VR Point Dubai?
VR Point Dubai is a private 4D free-roam virtual reality arena in Al Quoz.
Rather than standing in one place wearing a headset, players can walk and move naturally around the arena. Full-body tracking translates their physical movements into the virtual environment, while real-time sensory effects respond to what is happening inside the game.
Depending on the adventure, players may feel:
Wind moving around them
Changes in temperature
Environmental scents
Physical weapon recoil
Tactile in-game feedback
Groups of up to five people can enter the arena together, playing cooperative missions, solving puzzles or competing against one another.
VR Point currently offers several virtual worlds, including zombie survival adventures, a Tesla-inspired puzzle experience, a family-friendly treasure hunt and a player-versus-player rooftop battle.
Meet Zalim Erizhokov from VR Point Dubai
Zalim Erizhokov works across management, marketing and sales at VR Point Dubai.
While the technology behind the experience is advanced, his motivation for being part of the business is refreshingly simple.
“I love making people happy,” Zalim explains.
That purpose influences the entire VR Point experience. The team does not simply want customers to complete a game and leave. Their goal is to create an occasion that people remember and talk about afterwards.
For Zalim, the most rewarding moments come at the end of an event.
“Seeing happy faces after the event and hearing people say thank you gives me the most satisfaction.”
This focus on customer reactions is reflected in reviews from visitors, who regularly mention the enjoyable atmosphere, helpful hosts and the unusual nature of the experience.
What makes VR Point different from other VR experiences in Dubai?
VR Point combines free-roam virtual reality with physical 4D effects and a premium private-event environment.
“We created a unique VR adventure with real 4D effects,” says Zalim. “While you’re playing, you can feel the wind, heat, different scents and even the recoil of the weapons, making the game feel incredibly real.”
Many conventional VR attractions place players in individual booths or keep them standing within a restricted area. At VR Point, players can physically move around a large private arena while their entire body is tracked.
The experience is also wireless, removing the cables and fixed seating commonly associated with traditional VR gaming.
A dedicated Game Master briefs the group, helps everyone with the equipment and supports the players throughout the session. This makes the venue accessible to people who may never have tried virtual reality before.
More than a VR gaming arena
The experience continues outside the game itself.
VR Point includes a 150-square-metre lounge where guests can relax, socialise, enjoy refreshments or watch other members of their group through the live game feed.
“Our lounge is designed to feel premium too, with leather sofas, a PS5 and high-quality drinks,” says Zalim.
The team has even created its own signature drink: the VR Point Mojito.
This combination of immersive entertainment and comfortable social space makes the venue particularly well suited to private celebrations and company events. Guests can play in rotations before meeting back in the lounge for food, drinks, cake or friendly competition on the PlayStation.
“We don’t just offer VR games,” Zalim explains. “We create unforgettable experiences and memories that you won’t find anywhere else in Dubai.”
VR birthday parties in Dubai
VR Point offers birthday party experiences for children from age eight, teenagers and adults.
Birthday groups receive private use of the arena during their sessions, meaning they do not have to play alongside members of the public. The lounge can also be used for cake, food and time together before or after the game.
The lighter Diamond Skull treasure-hunt adventure is suitable for players from age eight, while most of the other games are recommended for ages ten and above.
For larger birthday groups, players can enter the arena in teams while other guests watch the action from the lounge. This creates a tournament-style atmosphere and keeps the whole group involved.
It can be a particularly appealing choice for parents looking for an indoor birthday activity in Dubai that combines movement, teamwork, technology and social interaction.
Corporate team building and private events
VR Point also hosts corporate team-building activities, office parties, client entertainment and company celebrations.
The cooperative games require teams to communicate, solve problems and respond to challenges together. Competitive formats can also be organised for companies that want to create a tournament between departments or groups of colleagues.
The full venue covers approximately 250 square metres, combining the 100-square-metre arena with the 150-square-metre lounge.
Private venue hire can be arranged for larger groups, with tailored tournament formats, live scoring and catering available on request. This provides an indoor, air-conditioned alternative to conventional team-building activities, particularly during Dubai’s warmer months.
VR Point can also accommodate bachelor parties, friends’ gatherings, team nights and other private celebrations.
Overcoming the challenge of launching something new
Introducing a new entertainment concept requires more than sourcing equipment and finding a venue.
For Zalim and the team, one of the most difficult parts of launching VR Point was completing the necessary approval process.
“The hardest part was getting everything approved, but it was worth it,” he says.
The result is a professionally operated experience built around specialist technology, trained hosts and a controlled private environment.
VR Point’s virtual reality system uses Swiss-engineered technology, with each game developed to work with the venue’s full-body tracking and sensory hardware.
What customers say about VR Point Dubai
VR Point reports a 5.0 Google rating based on approximately 300 customer reviews.
One visitor described it as an “amazing experience” with “very kind staff,” while another highlighted the range of games and praised the host before saying the group would return.
Family visitors have also described VR Point as an enjoyable family activity, while other reviewers frequently mention the friendly team, immersive technology and the overall entertainment value.
These reviews reinforce a recurring theme in Zalim’s answers: the team places as much importance on hospitality and customer service as it does on technology.
For guests who are unfamiliar with VR, having a welcoming host and a detailed briefing can make the difference between an intimidating first experience and an enjoyable group activity.
Is VR Point suitable for first-time players?
Yes. No previous gaming or virtual reality experience is required.
Every group receives a briefing before entering the arena, and the controls are based largely on natural body movements. Players walk, turn and interact using their own movements rather than learning a complicated controller system.
The free-roam format may also feel more natural to people who dislike seated VR. Because players physically move in the same direction as their virtual character, the experience differs from systems where the visual environment moves while the player remains stationary.
Prescription glasses can generally be worn under the headset, although guests should speak to the VR Point team about any specific accessibility or comfort requirements before booking.
Why experiential venues are becoming popular for Dubai events
Guests increasingly want parties and corporate events that give them something to actively participate in.
Interactive venues help bring groups together around a shared experience rather than relying entirely on food, conversation or passive entertainment.
At VR Point, the virtual adventure provides the central activity, while the private lounge allows guests to socialise before and after their session. The result is an event format that combines technology, competition, teamwork and hospitality in one venue.
It is this combination that Zalim believes makes the business stand out.
The technology may initially attract customers, but the team’s measure of success is much more human: whether people leave smiling.
