Really good experience to go and do. Went as a family of 4 with children so did the cartoon style Ghost Patrol game. Equipment is easy to use and fun to play. Room next door were doing a zombie style game and given their screams it was not children friendly! Good to do as something different.

I would highly recommend Omescape and the VR Escape room experience. We did the Prison break escape room challenge and there is no way I am going back to a 2D experience. The game was highly interactive, just the right amount of challenge and loads of fun. Our gamesmaster Jack was also super helpful and friendly.

Had an awesome time playing the Parvus Box escape room. VR you can walk around in such an immersive experience, I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried before. We escaped the room with 10min to spare and Jack kindly let us do a very quick round of a shooter game.

Prima esperienza VR per me e l’ho trovata fantastica! È possibile muoversi all’interno della stanza ed i giochi proposti sono davvero engaging. Le stanze sono chiuse quindi si suda un pò in giornate calde.
