Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming a favorite among kids and families, offering an exciting way to play games. But if you’re a parent, you might be wondering: Is Meta Quest good for kids? The answer depends on how you approach it, and with the right choices, Meta Quest can become a fun, active, and even healthy addition to your child’s screen time.
At INCISIV, we’ve designed games like DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer to make VR gaming not just entertaining but physically engaging. As featured in a BBC piece about active screen time, our games transform VR into an opportunity for movement and fitness.
Meta Quest stands out as a VR platform because it’s wireless and easy to set up, making it safe and accessible for younger users. Its interactive nature and wide range of games can engage kids in new ways, encouraging not just play but also creativity and physical activity.
However, the key to making Meta Quest a good experience for kids is balance. Here’s how to make the most of it:
Experts suggest limiting VR sessions for kids to 20–30 minutes at a time. This prevents eye strain, reduces fatigue, and ensures that gaming stays a positive experience. Short sessions are especially important for younger children, who may be more sensitive to prolonged VR use.
According to the CDC, kids spend a lot of time in front of screens each day: 6 hours for ages 8–10, 9 hours for ages 11–14, and 7.5 hours for ages 15–18. But screen time doesn’t have to mean sitting still! At INCISIV, we have over 20 years of experience creating fun, active virtual reality games. In fact, our 2 games: DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer, are speciallfically designed to get kids moving.
In this fun and active game, kids run, jump, and tag each other, providing a great way to burn off energy while enjoying friendly competition.

This virtual bowling game is perfect for kids to practice their skills while getting active. It’s a fun, low-impact way to move and engage in friendly competition with family and friends.
These games, including DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer, not only entertain but also provide great opportunities for physical activity, making Meta Quest a fantastic option for active, healthy gaming.
Before starting a VR session, clear the area to ensure there’s enough room for movement. The Meta Quest’s guardian boundary system helps keep kids safe by alerting them if they get too close to walls or furniture.
With games like DodgeCraft and CleanSheet Soccer, VR becomes more than just gaming—it’s an opportunity for kids to exercise without realizing it. These active titles turn screen time into a time for fun and fitness, giving parents peace of mind that their kids are staying active while enjoying their games.
