COME summer vacaC tions and indoor gaming experiences become a rage. While Delhi has its fair share of indoor gaming zones, they either specialise in bowling, video games, mystery rooms, go-karting, or other specific activities. But now, in a first, the city has got an-all-in-one gaming experience as The Game Palacio debuts at Noida's DLF Mall of India. It brings a bowling alley, an arcade, video games, Artificial and Virtual Reality (AR and VR) games, a cricket-playing zone, trampoline activities, pool table, and much more, besides fine dining, and a lounge spread over a massive 56,000 sq. feet.

On entering the gaming zone, we are dazzled by its state-ofthe-art lighting and hanging cane-work lamps that reflect a gold colour on the dark marble floorings. An electrifying galaxy of over 80-100 games awaits us. We dive head first into their bestselling VR Super Agent game. The VR gun-integrated machine structure has a high-definition visual display. A player has to enter a virtual realm and shoot the enemy on screen, making one feel like a sharp-shooter. Players can also choose among other popular VR games such as 9DX Arcade Car, and Moto Go VR for a pulse-pounding racing spree.
