LONDON, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / January 20, 2026 / The Next Level VR has been named a 2026 Consumer Choice Award winner in the Entertainment Complex category, recognizing the centre as a leading destination for immersive virtual reality experiences in the London region.
As London’s largest virtual reality gaming centre, The Next Level VR offers a wide range of experiences designed for players of all ages and experience levels. The venue combines advanced VR technology with structured gameplay in an environment that encourages participation, interaction, and shared enjoyment.
The space is thoughtfully designed for group experiences. Families, friends, schools, and organized groups can take part in sessions that emphasize collaboration and accessibility rather than competition alone. This approach has made The Next Level VR a popular choice for interactive entertainment that can be enjoyed together.
Staff support plays a key role in shaping the guest experience. Team members assist with equipment setup, explain gameplay, and remain available throughout each session to ensure guests feel comfortable and confident using the technology. This guidance helps remove common barriers associated with virtual reality, particularly for first-time users.
The Next Level VR is owned by Mirza Jari Abbas, who became a business owner at the age of 12 with the guidance and support of his family. Now 13, Jari represents a new generation of young entrepreneurs emerging in Canada’s innovation and entertainment sectors, balancing his education while learning the fundamentals of business ownership.
“This recognition reflects the experience we aim to create for our guests,” said Mirza Jari Abbas, owner of The Next Level VR. “Virtual reality is exciting, and our focus has always been on making it welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. I’m grateful for the support of my family and our team as we continue building something meaningful for the London community.”
As the centre continues to grow, The Next Level VR remains focused on delivering interactive entertainment that balances innovation with approachability.
