Plan The Perfect Escape
When it comes to VR escape rooms, there are two elements to engineering the perfect escape: choosing the right room to play, then going in with a game plan that’s geared for success. Whether you’re a first timer or a seasoned pro, these handy hints and tips below will help you pull off an escape of Houdini-like proportions that you’ll be talking about for eons.
Picking your room
Find the right company. Perhaps the number one most important ingredient in a successful escape room experience is the company behind it. At Omescape, we pride ourselves on the fact that all our rooms combine mind-bending puzzles with top-of-the-range technology to create an unparalleled experience – and our reviews speak for themselves.
Choose a medium difficulty room. To ensure everyone gets the most out of the experience, plump for a mid-range room in terms of complexity. That allows newbies to get a feel for how things work, while still challenging the old hands in the room. Unless, of course, you’re all seasoned pros, in which case, shoot for the stars.
Look for non-linear games. The best way to include the whole group is through a non-linear game which doesn’t require you to complete single puzzles one at a time. Instead, with multiple plates to keep spinning and different codes to crack, you can split up and make the most of your time in the room, ensuring everyone has maximum fun.
We have a huge range of VR escape rooms at Omescape London, for all different ages and abilities. Some of our most popular virtual reality escape rooms include Ascenders, Eclipse, The Corsair’s Curse, and Huxley.
Preparing your team
Remember to stay calm. Before entering any VR escape room, it’s likely you’ll feel the familiar rush of nerves and adrenaline. Just remember that while the energy surge can be a good thing in working your way around the room, your haste might make you miss key clues. Stay cool, calm and collected and try to analyse your surroundings with clinical clarity.
Communication is key. It might be tempting to do everything yourself, especially if you enjoy problem-solving, but teamwork is the name of the game when it comes to a VR escape room. Shout out any clues you’ve spotted to others, involve your teammates in any riddle you engage in and keep communication channels open at all times.
Don’t forget to have fun! In all the competitive rush of seeking a way out, it’s easy to forget the real reason you’re here in the first place: to enjoy yourself! Try to approach the room with the mentality that fun is the primary goal and escape an added bonus and you’ll find the experience to be a far more rewarding one.
