You're dodging laser beams one minute, blasting zombies in free-roam VR the next. That's a Tuesday at Infusion Play — and it opens its brand-new Downtown Victoria location on June 16, 2026.

If you're searching for things to do in Victoria BC that go beyond a walk along the waterfront, this is the guide for you.

Where to Find It

The new venue sits at 546 Yates St in Downtown Victoria — walkable from most hotels, easy to find, and no car required. Walk-ins are always welcome, or you can book a session in advance at infusion-play.com if you want a guaranteed time slot.

What's Actually Inside

Infusion Play isn't one thing. It's three distinct experiences under one roof, and you can mix and match based on your group's energy level.

Free-Roaming VR Arena

Grab a rifle-style controller and step into games like After the Fall or Arizona Sunshine. These aren't sit-down VR experiences — you're physically moving through the space, working with your group to survive. It's active, it's loud, and your arms will feel it the next day.

Interactive Play Rooms

This is where the physical challenges live. Run through laser mazes, dodge lit floor grids, test your reflexes, and even squeeze in some mind-fitness games like Spot the Difference or Charades. Every activity earns you points, which you can redeem for prizes at the end of your session. It's competitive in the best way.

Claw Machines and Prize Arcade

Not every moment needs to be high-intensity. The lounge area has claw machines and prize games — perfect for catching your breath, letting younger kids burn some energy, or just having a low-key win to brag about.

The Bundle Worth Knowing About

If it's your first visit, the Challenge + Immersion package is the move. It combines the VR Arena with the Interactive Play rooms so you get the full picture of what the venue offers. Full pricing is on the booking page — no surprises.

Who It's Good For

Honestly, most groups fit here:

• Friend groups looking to level up a regular night out with multiplayer VR and real competition

• Families with kids aged 8 and up — teens especially love the VR, younger kids love the claw machines and physical challenges

• Couples who want a date night that's actually memorable

• Tourists who want active downtown entertainment without renting a car

If you have kids under 8 or anyone who wants a lower-intensity VR experience, the sister location Infusion XR Arcade offers room-scale games like Elven Assassin archery and Mini Golf — a great complement to the main venue.

Practical Tips Before You Go

• Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. You will be running, jumping, and dodging. Dress for it.

• Book ahead on weekends. Walk-ins are welcome any time, but weekends fill up. A quick online booking saves the headache.

• Arrive a few minutes early. There's a waiver to sign before you play — getting it done ahead of time keeps things moving.

• Bring your competitive side. The point system in the Interactive Play rooms makes everything more fun when your group is keeping score.

• Grab a treat on the way out. The venue serves handmade bubble tea, ice cream, and Bingsu — a solid way to wind down after a session.
