    Bright, incomparable, exuberant.

An immersive virtual reality experience

Are you ready to reach for the moon to give your child the most memorable birthday ever? Would you like to awaken their adventurous spirit by sending them to conquer the pyramids? Would you rather take your little tribe back to prehistoric times? Virtual reality lets you have all these experiences and more!

Up to 16 children aged 10 and over can come together at Virtual Room to enjoy a magical birthday, somewhere between dream and reality. Fun and fascinating, each adventure is a great way for friends and family to enjoy each other’s company while taking on crazy challenges.

You’ll also have a dedicated area to organise your birthday party. Don’t forget the cake – Virtual Room will provide the drinks!
In the Saint-Marcel district, EVA Marseille has a 500m² arena where two teams compete in a variety of virtual reality environments: a forest, mountains or the planet Mars become the setting for epic confrontations. A tailor-made service is available for a 100% fun birthday party!

A team battle with laser beams

Several teams compete in a maze with countless hiding places, trying to hit their opponents while avoiding their shots. But rest assured, the lasers are completely harmless and your children will be returned to you in perfect health at the end of the game.

The laser game, which is accessible from the age of 7, is sure to delight thrill-seekers and is perfect for children with energy to spare. Several venues offer special birthday packages. At Laser Game Evolution in La Valentine, you can opt for several packages including two games and a birthday table. For a turnkey party, one of the packages includes drinks, sweets and cake, a souvenir for each child and a gift for the lucky birthday boy or girl blowing out the candles.

Do you live at home? You can also organise a laser game at home! Laser Game Party, based in Les Pennes-Mirabeau, comes with all the equipment you need to turn your garden into a battlefield. A host will organise the games to channel the enthusiasm of the budding warriors.

Escape from your own party? What a concept!

Go back in time, travel to the future, plunge into a fantastic universe… An Escape Game allows you to do all this and more! This activity is accessible to children and can also be enjoyed at a birthday party. In groups, the children have to rack their brains to solve the riddles and find the way out before the time runs out.

Several venues offer rooms that are accessible to children, and will welcome you for an unforgettable birthday party. Locked Time invites boys and girls to go to Wonderland in search of the Mad Hatter’s magic hat, coveted by the fearsome Queen of Hearts. Escape: The Movie welcomes you to Les Olives, with a dinosaur-themed room.
