Sounds like an endless amount of fun, huh?! Nickelodeon just announced one of the most exciting news as the network has teamed up with IMAX to bring out “SlimeZone” – a social virtual reality experience that is now available in IMAX VR centers globally.

Let’s learn more about SlimeZone – aka everyone’s new favorite, virtual reality experience! “SlimeZone is a multi-player social VR experience that allows kids and families the opportunity to interact in a Nickelodeon-designed virtual world. After selecting an avatar, users of all ages can slime blast their friends with Nickelodeon’s iconic green slime, play games such as ping pong and basketball, create art projects using glitter streams and colorful paint, and watch fan-favorite Nickelodeon cartoons.
