Vancouver: Virtual Reality by Zero Latency – Singularity 12+

Vancouver: Virtual Reality by Zero Latency – Singularity 12+

Imagine walking into a sprawling 1500-square-foot warehouse where you and up to seven friends are fully immersed in a science-fiction universe, battling killer robots or zombies—wireless, free-roam VR at its best. The experience lasts about 45 minutes and costs around $40 per person—a small price for a big adventure in the world of virtual reality. Located on the west side of Kingsgate Mall, this activity promises a mix of adrenaline, fun, and cutting-edge technology that appeals to gamers, tech enthusiasts, or anyone curious about the future of entertainment.

What we especially like about Zero Latency is the wireless setup, which allows for complete freedom of movement, and the large arena space that makes the experience feel truly immersive. You don’t feel tethered to a console or limited by walls, allowing you to run, duck, or climb through sci-fi corridors with real freedom. The other highlight is how accessible it is—whether you’re new to VR or a seasoned player, the experience is designed to thrill and challenge everyone.

A key consideration is that this is an active activity—you’ll be moving around quite a bit, so comfortable clothing and footwear are a must. If you’re someone who prefers more relaxed activities or has mobility concerns, this might not be your best fit. But for those looking to combine gaming with physical activity, it’s a playful way to get your heart rate up.

This tour suits families, groups of friends, or anyone eager to try a futuristic, adrenaline-pumping experience. It’s especially appealing if you’re visiting Vancouver and want a break from traditional sightseeing, looking for something memorable and energetic.

Wildly Fun and Surprisingly Immersive

When we first heard about Zero Latency’s free-roam VR experiences, we were skeptical about how a virtual experience could feel so real without cables tangling or walls blocking movement. But after visiting their Vancouver location, it’s clear they’ve nailed it. The latest 5K headset offers crisp, clear visuals that bring the sci-fi universe to life, making you feel genuinely transported to a spaceship under siege.

A typical session lasts about 30 minutes of actual gameplay, but the total experience—including preparation, fitting the equipment, and briefings—takes around 45 minutes. You’ll be given all the necessary VR gear, and the free-roam aspect means you’ll be moving freely through corridors, ladders, and zero-gravity zones, fighting off robot enemies or zombies depending on your chosen scenario.

The space itself is designed for multi-directional movement, which makes the experience much more dynamic than traditional seated VR. You’ll run, crouch, and duck, which is why comfortable clothing and footwear are recommended. We loved the way the gameplay mechanics integrated seamlessly with the physical environment, creating a sense of place and urgency that’s hard to match in sitting VR experiences.

What really stands out is the lack of cables or wires—a common complaint in older VR setups. Here, you’re untethered, which means you can turn, run, or hide behind obstacles without worrying about tripping over wires. The large 1500 square-foot arena offers plenty of room for movement, making your session feel expansive and less confined. Multiple reviews mention how “it really feels like you’re in a sci-fi movie,” which is a testament to the immersive quality of the experience.
