Plan Your Visit to Omescape VR Aldgate

A little planning goes a long way, whether it’s your first time in VR or you’re coming back for more. Here’s what to know before you head to Aldgate.

Arrival and Timings

Please arrive 15 minutes before your booking to check in and meet your game master, who will brief you before you play. If you’re running late, let us know as soon as possible. We have a 10-minute grace period, but arriving late could mean shortened game time or rescheduling for a fee.

What to Wear

Comfortable sportswear works best: lightweight layers, breathable fabrics and shoes with a good grip, as you’ll be moving around freely. Leave accessories at home. Glasses fit inside our VR headsets, although contact lenses give the best experience if you have them.

Food, Drink and House Rules

Food and drink aren’t allowed in the VR space, as our haptic equipment could be damaged, so eat before your session or head out afterwards. Brick Lane, a short walk from Aldgate, is packed with independent cafés and food stalls. Please note that anyone who is drunk or under the influence of drugs will be asked to leave and won’t receive a refund.

Myself and five children ages , 8-11, undertook the sombia apocalypse mission. Initially , I was sceptical , hoping it wasn't going to be a damp squib. I shouldn't have worried it was amazing. So immersive. At one point I actually got vertigo and lost my balance. One child lost it straight away and had to leave, the other four spent the next forty minutes screaming and laughing, at the end of which they begged for more time. If it hadn't been for the only factor\nOf expense , I would have happily stayed for longer. Definitely something we will save up for to go again

It’s was great!! Had two sessions and enjoyed every moment. Equipment was very good and game room was a nice size. The games were better than expected and it was quite intense. The host was good making things simple and knew just the right point to help us with the game when we got stuck. Would go again and with more people. Best VR experience I have had.

Short walk from the tube and relatively easy to find. I didn't play personally but the 4 kids I took (for a 14th birthday) all had a fantastic time. They said the vests really made it feel like they were in the game with the zombies and I could hear them screaming, co-ordinating and helping each other throughout their game. I also heard my 11 yr old walk into the wall a couple of times, but she was fine! The corridor leading up to the reception is totally sketchy looking, but I couldn't help but feel it added to the dystopian vibe. My kids didn't care in the least. I'll take them again I'm sure. The post event scores being shared were a nice touch too.
