Another great game ‘Parvus Box’ played today at VR ESCAPE in Hockley. This is a new game that is puzzle based which I personally prefer to fighting games. Team work definitely required for part of the game, great graphics and definitely gets the brain cells working! Thank you to Craig and Sophie for looking after us, we had a fantastic time.

Another Great Game Played the new game Parvus Box today and would highly recommend it, great for people that love puzzles as opposed to fighting games. Teamwork needed to solve some things, good graphics as always. Thank you to Craig and his team for looking after us as always and bringing new games to play.

Amazing!! We played the runaway train and it was hard but we did it with 30 secs to spare! Lauren was a fun host and really friendly, can’t wait to try out the other games. Thanks guys 😊

Went here as part of a stag weekend in Chelmsford, and this place was honestly chaos in the best way possible. VR Escape Ltd – tucked away in the Essex countryside – is like finding a futuristic gaming lair in the middle of a farm. Quick heads up: getting there is a bit of a mission. The roads are all twisty-turny, and in the dark it felt like we were driving into a horror movie. Sat nav tried its best, but once you spot the signs, you’re golden. It’s on a farm complex, in what looks like an old barn – but don’t let that fool you. Inside, it’s all pro kit, proper signage, and slick operation. Now the VR itself? Absolutely quality. Only 6 players at a time, so with our 12-strong group we split into two teams (the rest sat out at the pub). We all did the same game, and it was multiple escape rooms in one – so you move through levels and it keeps things fresh. We had Sophie guiding us – shoutout to her, because she had the patience of a saint. Gave us clues when we needed them, and somehow didn’t lose her mind. She did say we were the most dangerous group she’s ever dealt with… which feels like a badge of honour, really. To be fair, she wasn’t wrong. One of the lads fell over another lad’s leg and face-planted the wall 😆. Another tried to lean on a table … that didn’t exist (because, y’know, VR) 🤣. It was carnage. But hilarious carnage. 👌 The whole group absolutely loved it. There’s loads of other games you can try, so we’re already planning to go back if we’re ever in the area again. If you’re looking for something a bit different, a lot of fun – this is the place.

Brilliant idea. We went for my daughters birthday to play Dragon Tower and booked to go back the very next week for Daddy's birthday to play space station Tiberia. It's a real leveller and you could play with just adults but also fantastic for families (my children are 10 and 12). Will definitely be going back again, in fact I don't think everyone will be done with it until they've played every game. Also, the person there running the activity is lovely and welcoming which always makes things nicer.

Wonderful birthday experience We visited for my sons birthday with his friends and they all had the most wonderful time! Everything was explained so well to them when we first arrived, friendly and supportive help was given when needed we were all made to feel so welcome. Can’t thank you enough for making his birthday so special.

Always a great night Another great night with friends at VR escape rooms. We loved Sophie’s energy and she was friendly and helpful. Also saw Craig too who is always great with his customers. Loved the prison break VR room which we managed to escape from. It was very entertaining. Can’t wait to get back to do another room 😀

We have done every escape game available here finishing with depths of osiris this evening! The games are fantastic and immersive, the hosts are friendly and welcoming. We've done this with as a few as two and as many as four and it is a good way to have fun with friends, the games range from pure puzzle to very active and adventurous. Definitely recommend!

Thank you for your very kind review, Luke! I'm glad you've enjoyed the games, and thank you so much for coming back and bringing people to play. I know Lauren has told you that we've got at least two new rooms coming this year - including The Parvus Box (not long now) and the long awaited Alien Infection (early summer.) I'm constantly talking to developers about potential new rooms, so hopefully we'll have more for you soon! Thanks again for playing. Craig and the team.
