What makes Omescape VR stand out as one of the top attractions in London

“The VR Experience Was Out Of This World… Loved Every Second. Any Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil, Walking Dead Or Standard Human-Who-Enjoys-A-Laugh Will Have An Absolute Blast!!! I Can’t Wait To Go Back.”

“was very sceptical about the quality and wasn’t expecting much. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Once you’re in a game you completely forget you’re in a room standing on a solid flat floor. The feeling of movement and being up high was extremely realistic. Most fun I’ve had in ages, will definitely go back. A big thumbs up all round including the guy who hosted the game, he was so enthusiastic.”

“My third time being Omescape VR and it is just the best. Came with my whole family and we had a fantastic time. The staff are amazing and really put up with my old woman approach to gaming. I will definately return x”
