Immersive Gamebox is a fun, immersive gaming experience in Sydney that has opened in Australia for the first time. What is Immersive Gamebox? Well, it’s a bit like VR, but without the bulky headsets, making it more of a social experience to be shared with family and friends. 

Suitable for groups of two to six players, choose from 11 exciting augmented reality adventures. These include Squid Game, Angry Birds, Shaun the Sheep, PAW Patrol, Ghostbusters, the Alien Aptitude Test and Ticket to Mars. All you do is enter a Gamebox, pop on a visor and use your body as the controller for the next 30 to 60 minutes!There’s something for everyone, from young adults and families to corporate groups and gamers.

Sydney’s Immersive Gamebox is a first for Australia

Richard Dilly, General Manager at Merlin Entertainments, says, “Ahead of the summer holidays, we’re thrilled to officially open Australia’s first Immersive Gamebox experience in Darling Harbour. We have loved watching the guests explore the new gaming spaces. From a family day out to date night and groups of friends looking for a unique activity in the heart of the city, each game offers a fun and exciting new challenge. I’ve given them all a go, and my favourite is definitely Squid Game. They’re not easy either, so good luck!”
