Beta Testers Said...

"This was a fun alternative experience to their traditional escape rooms. It had a bit of a video game flair with the adventure theme. It would be a fun one with teen/preteen kids as well. We look forward to coming back and trying the other VR rooms."

  • What is an escape room?
    An escape room is an interactive game for people of all ages to enjoy. You will be placed in a themed room and given a back story with an objective to complete. You have 60 minutes to solve puzzles, clues, and activities while opening locks and doors in order to escape.
  • Am I truly locked in the room?
    No, all of our rooms have Emergency Exit buttons to allow you to open the door if the need arises. We prioritize customer safety in all of our rooms.

  • What languages are offered for a Virtual Reality escape room?
    We currently offer English, Spanish, German, French, and Russian. Simply let your GameMaster know which language you prefer upon arrival.
  • How many people can participate in a Virtual Reality Escape Room at once?
    5 Players is the most that our VR Escape Rooms can hold. Unfortunately, this is a strict policy due to game and space requirements.
  • What is a Virtual Reality (VR) Escape Room?
    Virtual Reality (VR) Escape Rooms are a unique way to experience gaming and entertainment. Players enter a virtual environment and solve puzzles and challenges as a team, using their combined wits, creativity, and problem-solving skills to progress. The virtual reality experience immerses players completely in the game, making them feel like they are actually in the environment. VR Escape Rooms offer a great amount of different themes and puzzles that you couldn’t imagine was possible in a real life escape room. They provide a fun and engaging way to socialize with friends, family, and strangers alike.
  • Why should I choose VR over a traditional escape room?
    Virtual reality escape rooms allow for total immersiveness into places we physically cannot make possible. There are many different choices to choose from, such as space stations floating above earth, time travel, fighting dragons, making potions, exploring temples and fighting the mighty kraken! Every person has their own preference, but all of the staff here at Tropic Escape Room and our beta testers have tried all of the themes and we have all agreed they are fun, immersive, and exciting.
  • What if I, or someone in my party has motion sickness?
    Our VR game provider states... "Removing the risk of VR motion sickness is a priority for every experience we design. Because our products are designed for free-roam movement, player’s views are in total synchronization with their real-world movements. This is compared to other VR experiences that move the game world around the player while they remain stationary — which can induce motion sickness and nausea" If you have concerns of motion sickness, contact us for further assistance.
  • Do I need any prior experience to participate in a Virtual Reality Escape Room?
    Not necessarily, our games are designed for first time players and include a required training video on how to play a virtual reality escape room before you can begin. We do suggest watching the trailer video provided on our website before you play your game to get an understanding of the experience you will be in. Some of the Virtual Reality Escape Rooms can be hard and difficult. There are no limits to the hint system. You can recieve a hint every 10 minutes. Our GameMasters may also assist you with providing hints or assistance when absolutely needed.
