Jacob Knightly, who runs the arcade, said: “It's perfect for ages 7+, so families are encouraged.

“It’s completely free-roam, which means no wires, or heavy battery packs; just a headset inside a 6x6m arena.

“It’s very easy to pick up and play, even if you have never played a game before.

“We’re always looking for the next big thing. We’ve had VR rollercoaster and car games for the last two years and they’ve been very popular, and we feel this is the next step in family entertainment.”
