Yo Poznan!

We’ll admit it — sometimes we’re so busy trying to look like we know everything that we miss the obvious. Like the fact that there’s been a full-on VR gaming arena sitting inside Galeria Avenida for three. whole. years. Three! We’ve written about croissants, coffee shops, and dog-friendly bars… but a virtual reality combat zone? Somehow slipped right past us.

From 8-bit to 360° Madness

We’re showing our age here, but back in our day, “gaming” meant blowing into cartridges and praying the screen would load. BBC Micro. ZX Spectrum. Commodore 64 and the classic Atari. If you know, you know. Those machines screamed louder than a PKP train braking into Główny on a Monday morning. And who can forget Atari’s Pong?

Our childhood arcades smelled like cigarettes and Pepsi Max, and someone was always yelling “just one more round!” at 1 a.m. Now? The kids are flying through digital cities wearing headsets that cost more than our first cars. Fair play — we’re jealous.

Welcome to Good Game VR

Tucked away in Avenida opposite the food court — yeah, that big shiny mall next to the main train station (the one you always sprint through for sushi or socks) — sits Good Game VR, a place where reality takes a coffee break.

Eight booths, flashing lights, weird shouting, people swinging invisible swords — it’s like stepping into a fever dream powered by energy drinks.

We met the four lads who run it, all proper gamers, caffeine junkies, and part-time philosophers of chaos.
They’ve been holding this place down, and somehow we, the self-proclaimed street diggers of Poznań, had no idea.
Shameful.

Games That’ll Melt Your Brain (in a good way)

Forget Candy Crush — this is the real deal.
Here’s some of the games that will make you sweat, swear, and question your fitness level.

• Beat Saber – Slice flying cubes to bangers. Basically a rave with a lightsaber.
• Elven Assassin – Defend your fortress, slay orcs, feel heroic, cry a little.
• Pistol Whip – Like if John Wick joined Daft Punk.
• Arizona Sunshine – Zombies. Everywhere. Bring deodorant and courage.
• Spiderman VR – You get to fly between skyscrapers. Don’t fall. (You can’t, but still.)
• Superhot VR – Time only moves when you do. Trippy and terrifying.

This isn’t sit-down gaming. You’ll actually move.
So maybe skip leg day if you’re going — this is leg day.

Party Mode: Activated

Here’s the kicker! They throw down events for everyone — kids, adults, couples, even those corporate types who swear they “don’t play games” and then start shouting like they’re storming Normandy five minutes later.
Birthdays? Sorted.
Stag or hen parties? Perfect — nothing says “true friendship” like accidentally punching your best mate while slaying zombies.
Team-building? Yeah, right. More like team-destroying. But at least it’s honest.

And if you really wanna go full digital maniac, book the whole damn arena, blast your playlist, and host your own virtual riot.
We’re talking neon chaos, bragging rights, and full-body cardio — all for around 39 PLN for 30 minutes.
That’s cheaper than therapy, way more fun than yoga, and guaranteed to make you forget your boss’s name for at least an hour.

We’re Coming Back for Round Two

We’ve already lined up an interview with the crew to get the full story — what’s next, and who the hell thought flying gorillas was a good idea.
Plus, we’ll be jumping into a few games ourselves to see who survives longest, us or them! Get ready for our TOP 5 games you have to try!

Game Over (But Not Really)

So yeah — Good Game VR isn’t new.
We’re just late to the future.
But better late than boring, right?

If you haven’t been, fix that mistake ASAP.
Reality will still be waiting when you’re done (unfortunately).

Now excuse us — we’re off to swing through skyscrapers and fight orcs.
All in the name of journalism, of course.
