What can we tell you about the VR Arcade

This is a fully immersive VR experience, but without the complexity.

No buttons to remember. No experience needed.

You can choose from fast action games, team-based challenges, or lighter first-time-friendly options.

Adults get just as competitive as kids once they start.

Two questions crop up regularly: “Have you got anything my 9 year old would enjoy?” and “Have you got any shooting games?”

  • An easier escape room, and a full space adventure.

  • Magical wand waving and a zombie shooter!

  • Toy box scale tower defense, along with an orc shooting archery fest.

Note: These games aren’t just for kids. The team at VR Escape are addicted to Cook’d Up!
