OTHERWORLD BIRMINGHAM

OTHERWORLD is a unique island retreat, built within virtual reality. Acting as a hub-world for all of the third-party games/experiences we host, OTHERWORLD is a fully-explorable sandbox split into four seasons; head to the beach in Summer and feel the sun on your face, or throw snowballs around in Winter and feel the breeze in colder climes!

The island contains sixteen unforgettable VR experiences: Fight a zombie apocalypse deep in Arizona, go on an adventure through a magical garden world, or battle your friends from the cockpit of an immense mech - the possibilities abound!

During your experience you’ll earn DreamCoin, which you’ll be able to spend at the full-service bars nestled into our futuristic venues. Even if you don't have a VR experience booked you are welcome to visit us for a drink!

People visiting our venue need to be aged 16 or over, or aged 12 or over if accompanied by a parent or guardian.​

The headsets we use are designed more for use by adults, so for children there might be a loose fit.​ Please be aware that we have a full-service bar, so the atmosphere may be less suitable for children after 6pm.

Depending on your venue, OTHERWORLD can host between 10 & 14 players at the same time.

Inside the OTHERWORLD you can see and hear each other in the form of a virtual avatar - as if they are right next to you! You are then free to explore the island and jump into a multiplayer game together, or break away from the group and try a solo adventure.

Check out our Experiences page for more info.

We recommend arriving in good time before your booked start time so we can check you in, prepare you for your journey, and let you sample the delights of our psychedelic departure lounge and full-service bar.

You can cancel your booking and receive a full refund/re-book as long as we’re given sufficient notice. For most bookings this is 24 hours, but for groups of 10+ it’s 72 hours, and groups of 20+ it’s 1 week.

You can cancel/reduce the number of guests in your booking yourself via your confirmation email. Alternatively, you can get in touch with the reservations team via contact@other.world or by calling (020) 8050 1550 and selecting Option 1. We recommend that you email in with your cancellation requests if possible, as our phone lines are not open 24/7.

OTHERWORLD is accessible for most standard-sized wheelchairs. We have a ramp to help people into their Immersion Pods if required, and a WC on each site with ample disabled access and basic equipment.

We can provide guidance on which experiences will be most fun for people of different physical abilities.

Our virtual reality headsets leave enough room for most glasses to be worn underneath.

One of our hosts will be happy to adjust your headset for the best fit.

The experience is accessible if you are pregnant.

Please be aware that virtual reality can be disorientating. Some of the games in the Otherworld have greater physical intensity than others, and we generally recommend taking it easy. You can seek recommendations of experiences to try from one of our hosts.

If you're still unsure that VR is suitable for you, we recommend seeking the advice of a doctor before visiting.

Our prices vary depending on the date, time, and session length you select - between £14-£48.

Check out the Bookings page to see all of our available times and their prices.

We do not recommend the experience if you have epilepsy.

There are many triggers and sensitivities for epilepsy. Similar to other products with flashy visual effects, VR could have the potential to trigger seizures, fainting, or dizziness - if you have a sensitivity to them.

Although we do welcome walk-ins, if you’d like to participate in VR we highly recommend you book in advance. Our VR timeslots book out very quickly and we cannot guarantee VR availability on the day.

Regardless, we also run a full service bar at all of our venues, so if you’d like to come in for a drink then please feel free to do so, even without a booking!
