Days Out & Meals Out: Havoc VR

By Jenny, Days Out and Meals Out Reviews

We were invited down to the brand new Havoc VR in Adlington, which opened in September 2025, and it instantly impressed us with how it’s a great go-to indoor activity for older kids, teens & adults.

Our experience kicked off in their impressive free-roam VR arena, where up to 12 players can run around completely wire-free. The freedom to move, dodge, and play makes everything feel far more immersive than your usual at-home VR headset.

In our 40-minute session, we jumped through a whole mix of games, each one fun, challenging, and surprisingly energetic. We battled zombies, painted floors, mined for diamonds, swiped gold coins, and even fed dinosaurs pizza. Despite wearing headsets, it felt like a genuinely shared experience, we were shouting, laughing, teaming up, and occasionally taunting each other.

It was honestly so nice to do an activity that both of my girls enjoyed. With a teenager and an 11-year-old, they don’t always like the same things, but they loved playing, whether it was competing against each other or teaming up to take on their mother in an all-out battle of painting the floor or playfully “shooting” each other.

Fair warning: by the end I was totally knackered… and the headset definitely left me with some spectacular hat hair!

Interactive Sports Gaming Wall

This part was just as energetic, but in a completely different way. The sports wall offers a huge variety of ball-based and skill games, football, tic-tac-toe, Space Invaders, trivia, Viking Rush, air hockey, ball breaker, and honestly so many more.

You can play solo or in groups of two or four, so we all took turns swapping in and out. The trivia round got very competitive, and I became obsessed with the matching pairs game. Watching the girls tackle challenge after challenge together was brilliant.

Alongside the fun games, there’s also a training section with more sports-focused options like tennis and penalty shootouts. They even gave us tennis rackets, which made it feel even more real and added to the fun.

You can book different lengths of time on the gaming wall, but with the amount of variety, you’d never run out of games even if you spent a full two hours in there!

Food & Drink

The café offers an impressively wide selection of food and drinks, including pizza, wings, paninis, nuggets, chips, milkshakes, slushies, hot drinks, and ice cream. There are plenty of tables and chairs for parents to relax at while the kids play, though it’s often just as fun to watch them explore their imaginative VR worlds in the headsets.

Perfect for Birthdays, Teens & Team Nights Out

Havoc VR is an ideal spot for a birthday party, especially for older kids who want something a bit more exciting than another trampoline park. It would also be a fantastic alternative night out for colleagues or friends who fancy something fun that’s not a pub.

Overall, Havoc VR is energetic, hilarious, and full of variety. A brilliant day out that gets the whole family involved and off their phones. We’ll definitely be back!
