obliViaR was created by a York family who wanted to bring something new, fun, and accessible to the community we love.

As an independently owned VR venue, every experience is delivered with care, creativity, and genuine passion.

We’re North Yorkshire’s only immersive VR attraction — a unique alternative to escape rooms, arcades, and other things to do in York for families, teens, adults, dates, and team events.
