Entertainment and hospitality provider, Funlab, have added to the already popular gaming at Archie Brothers Docklands, with today's launch of a ‘first-of-its-kind’ Laser Tag and Zero Latency Virtual Reality experience, featuring the latest generation entertainment platform.

Seen as one of the best virtual reality offerings available, the latest generation Zero Latency technology provides a substantially better user experience to create a completely immersive free-roam VR, with 5K resolution graphics and 3D spatial audio, transporting users into an unbelievable fantasy world that makes it hard to tell what is real and what isn’t. Both the laser tag and VR experiences add to the ‘hospo-tainment’ group’s stable of brands and brings more fun and excitement to the Docklands.

Funlab advise that “from the minute guests put on the VR headset, developed in partnership with tech giant HTC, and pick up the controller, they enter a completely captivating experience. With eight exhilarating games to choose from, players can take on zombies in the Undead Arena, fight off killer robots in Singularity, explore a gravity-less world in Engineerium, or go on a family friendly mission to save the world in Mission Maybee. With a world or character for everyone, it's the perfect activity for bucks parties to kids birthdays and everything in between.”

Archie Brothers has expanded the Docklands footprint with two dedicated arenas. Guests will have plenty of room to duck, dive and move freely in the all new tennis court sized VR arena while there are plenty of quirky places to hide and conspire in the dark of the old carnival laser tag arena.

Adding both the first-of-a-kind Zero Latency VR experience and laser tag to the already popular, bowling, bumper cars, arcade games and food and drink offerings truly solidifies it as the absolute one-stop entertainment destination for Melburnians.

Blaise Witnish, Chief Growth and Innovation Officer, at Funlab is excited to bring this world class experience to the Docklands especially as Melbourne returns to its energetic pre-covid levels., Witnish notes ”we’re pumped to take Archie Brothers Docklands to the next level with laser tag and the new generation of Zero Latency VR. With more people out and about - we can’t wait for Melbournians to get around it.

“The laser tag and VR experiences are nothing like you’ve ever seen before - who wouldn’t want to jump into a fun game of laser tag at an old abandoned carnival followed by navigating a completely immersive virtual world? We’re about making memories and offering unique experiences, which is exactly what Archie Brothers Docklands brings to the table.

“The Archie Brothers District now has a full precinct of fun and if there’s anything Melbournians deserve after a tough couple of years it’s a wealth of fun, excitement and place for family and friends to gather over games, food and drinks.”
