The VReality
We had so much fun at The VReality arcade in Destin. I lost count of how many games of Pac-Man we played. It was a great date night out on the Florida Gulf Coast playing games we hadn't played since we were kids.
VReality is truly the best mix of old school arcade games and new VR games. Parents and kids will find something to enjoy during a visit. You can battle it out and see who wins at retro games versus VR games.
We used our GetOut Emerald Coast Pass to visit VReality. The membership includes a monthly visit for one free retro arcade admission and 50% off an escape room available the same day.
Adventure Escape Games
60-minute ARVI VR escape rooms with difficulty levels ranging from easy to medium/hard. Step into stories like escaping a Chernobyl disaster, surviving a deserted island, going deep space in a cyberpunk adventure, or becoming a detective in the horror-themed Sanctum.

Over 300 classic arcade games, including Ms. Pac-Man, Pac-Man, Galaga, Space Invaders, Mortal Kombat, and Dragon's Lair.
