If you're looking for a fun activity to share with friends this summer, escape rooms have so much to offer. If you want an even more memorable experience, consider participating in a virtual room. Virtual reality headsets enhance the player's experience in so many ways, as they present amazing environments it would be impossible to replicate physically. While you must experience virtual reality to get the full effect, here's what you can expect. 

How Does Virtual Reality Work in Escape Rooms?

Upon entering the game, players receive headsets that create an interactive virtual world right before their eyes. Players may also receive a backpack containing computer equipment, which allows them to roam the area freely as they enjoy their virtual experience. 

The headset can put the player in as many environments as they imagine, including outer space, in the ocean, and in many other fantastical landscapes. Much like physical escape rooms, players will be presented with puzzles and games to progress through until they reach the ultimate goal. 

How Does the Experience Differ From VR Experiences at Home?

Home VR experiences can be thrilling, but most living spaces lack the room for people to get the full effect. This is not the case in large, open rooms, which provide a bigger area for players to explore. You can freely roam the virtual world without worries about being confined or encountering an obstacle, which is more likely to occur at home where space is in short supply. Players will also have a wider range of experiences to choose from, which might not be the case with personal VR equipment. 

There's also a social aspect missing when participating in VR at home. With a virtual escape room, you and your loved ones will all be given unique avatars during gameplay. These avatars can interact with each other virtually when solving puzzles and looking for clues. This level of socialization amplifies the gameplay experience.
