VR Escape - Escape Rooms, Southend Reviews

Took my daughter to VR Escape in Hockley and we had an absolute blast. We played the Parvus Box experience where I was shrunk down to a tiny old man while my daughter became a giant. Watching her stomp around, pick up huge objects, and generally get frustrated with the “little old man” was hilarious! The VR was immersive, the puzzles were great fun, and the whole experience had us laughing from start to finish. The staff were friendly and explained everything clearly, making it easy to jump straight in. A brilliant activity for families and something completely different from a traditional escape room. We’ll definitely be back to try another adventure.

Fabulous fun with friends. I have done many of the games at VR escape rooms and nothing compares to the experience. Craig and his team are always accommodating and friendly. It's a great time to spend with family and friends as there is a vast choice of games. Plenty of parking too which is a must for me.,

My friend and I played the ‘Manor of Escape’ VR game on our first visit, and it definitely won’t be our last! We received a warm welcome, clear instructions on using the equipment, and the game itself was great fun. Many thanks! ☺️

My friend and I managed to escape with just over a minute to spare! We had so much fun, what a great experience. Neither of us had used VR before but everything was explained to us. Such a fun experience, we will definitely be back to do more rooms and bring other people along! We also got a collage of some action photos which is a fun bonus, thank you!

The host was fantastic—he clearly explained what to expect and stepped in to guide us whenever we got stuck, which really enhanced the experience. We chose the Alien Invasion game, and it was incredibly immersive, realistic, and great fun from start to finish. Highly recommend!

We will be back! This is our fifth time, and it did not disappoint! We played Dragon Tower and loved it! As we finished quickly, they also gave us another little game to play!

A fantastic experience at VR Escape! We'll certainly be back. Pleased to say that my sister and I managed to escape Space Station Tiberia. We've done many escape rooms before but this was our first VR experience. I can't wait to introduce others to VR Escape - it's an opportunity not to be missed!
