With the new and improved version called virtual reality arcades, we say goodbye to the old and traditional arcades. Nowadays, they are more accessible (and affordable) to everyone, and they are no longer something exclusive for the rich. In addition to exploring different games and genres, having some fun, and watching your friends stumble through virtual reality for the first time, an arcade day with friends can also be a great way to enjoy a lazy afternoon with friends.
As its popularity has grown over the years, you can now take part in zombie slaying and rhythm games too. There are a number of virtual reality arcades in Singapore, some of which are listed below.
