The Cave Papamoa

I have to praise the guy that took our session.Our group was made up of a teen with Autism who isn't a gamer, a teen with Autism, ADHD and Tourette's who is a gamer, a very excited teen with ADHD who is a gamer (the birthday boy), a teen who is excitable but isn't a gamer and me, Mum with ADHD and Autism and is a gamer. Our group also contained a few transgender players.None of this was known by the guy and he dealt with it amazingly. He had a great rapport with the birthday boy, kept him engaged, joked around and didn't over react to his hyperactivity. Using everyone's name made the transgender members of our group feel very accepted.He chose games that suited our individual experience and style giving us a well rounded, fun session. Even when one of our groups fear of heights kicked in he was calm and patient, finding solutions to ensure game play could continue.We will definitely be returning.

This is such a great place to try out VR.The staff were very patient with some VR learners and have us a great all round experience. They even have us an extra half an hour for free! I will definitely be going back again

Totally awesome!! Love the Cave, honestly, one of the coolest things to check out in Papamoa! Heaps of fun, staff are always amazing, If I could add more stars I would, thanks!

I brought my family here after experiencing VR on my work do.Lucky to have Will again who shared our ridiculous humour with us as we navigated the escape room! Can't wait to go again. A must do activity for school Holidays or wintery weekends.Thanks guys!

I took my granddaughter to The Cave for a 1 hour birthday experience. It was awesome. The guys tailored our trip to suit us both, so we had some time at the beginning doing different things (I travelled through space whilst my granddaughter did 'scarey' stuff) and then we got into a game together. I had a little difficulty managing the controls, but got used to it in the end. Our hosts were amazing and I would highly recommend this experience for both young and older people.

Loved everything - the staff, the games, the atmosphere!Came back on a Saturday with a crowd of seven to the Papamoa studio after doing Beyond Medusa's Gate in Taupō on the Friday.Despite us booking the latest time slot to play on a Saturday night the staff were still super ecstatic to have us there with them. Six of us (in our mid 20's + an 18yo & 53yo) all got hooked up to the VR systems while our seventh sat in the viewing area" to watch the chaos unfold as we entered Sanctum. The fact that there is a viewing area is just that extra touch that makes a huge difference. My step-dad wasn't too keen on standing for an hour so he sat in one of the massage chairs in front of the TVs showing everyone elses POV in the game - turns out that can be just as entertaining!I had initially booked Cyberpunk online but didnt realize the difficulty of that room was "Hard" - it was absolutely no problem changing this once we got there.We struggled a bit at the beginning but the staff took turns jumping on a headset to give us hints and guidance which we would have been a bit lost without. We ended up completing the VR room in under 40mins
