Rainy day · cold evening · winter
When the weather turns, play as one team
Rainy afternoons, early winter dark, days too cold for a walk by the river. At AtlanticVR you and your family or friends spend that time together, solving puzzles and playing on one team.
Solve puzzles together
Riddles, hidden switches and doors that open only when everyone pitches in.
Play on one team
Up to 5 players in the same game, side by side, nobody waiting for a turn.
Make time for each other
An hour where nobody checks a phone: talking, laughing, cheering each other on.

Tonight
Things to do in Moncton tonight
Evenings are when most groups play. A VR session fits between dinner and dessert, suits a date night or a night out with friends, and needs no tickets.
This weekend
Things to do in Moncton this weekend
Weekends fill first, because only one group plays in the arena at a time. A birthday or a bigger group? See the events page.
Things to do in Moncton with family and friends
Most lists of things to do in Moncton are written for a sunny Saturday. Real life has more grey days than that, and more evenings when nobody wants another night on the couch.
Spend the time together
The best family days are rarely about the place. They are about doing something side by side: working out a problem, laughing at a mistake, cheering when it finally clicks. At AtlanticVR, a free-roam VR arena in Moncton, you walk through the game on your own feet and talk the whole time. No gaming experience needed: the staff stays in the arena with you.
Things to do in Moncton for adults
Things to do in Moncton for adults do not have to mean a late night out. Friends who like a bit of rivalry play a team shooter against each other, those who like a scare survive a zombie game together, and a calmer group solves a VR escape room.
With kids
Players must be at least 7, and we recommend ages 10 and up. Kids under 14 play with an adult at the venue. For a birthday, take the whole arena with a VR birthday party.
