What is a VR Escape Room?
A VR Escape Room is an immersive, interactive experience that combines the thrill of traditional escape rooms with the cutting-edge technology of virtual reality.
In a VR Escape Room, participants wear VR headsets to enter a fully digital environment where they can interact with surroundings and solve puzzles as if they were physically there.
These virtual settings can transport players to any place imaginable, from ancient ruins to futuristic cities, providing a uniquely engaging and challenging adventure.
The goal remains the same as in a physical escape room: to solve the puzzles and escape from the room within a set time limit, using teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking.
How is this different from VR at Home?
Escape Wexford provides a more immersive experience than at-home VR setups. Unlike home VR, which is often limited to smaller, static spaces, our facility allows teams of up to four players to freely walk around and explore expansive virtual worlds.
This enhanced mobility encourages dynamic teamwork and interaction that home VR systems simply cannot match, offering a deeper and more engaging virtual reality adventure.

We offer a diverse selection of nine VR Escape Room games, ensuring there's something for everyone. Our thrilling scenarios range from saving a runaway train to fighting dragons, embarking on space adventures, and even navigating through scary environments.
