Virtualescaping Reviews 

It was a lot of doors and such you needed to unlock. LOTS.

My team at work split into 2 small groups and did this as team building. It was so much fun since we’re all remote and don’t get to spend time together. We did Echoes of the Asylum for Halloween and had a blast. The puzzles made sense and we were able to solve them without too much difficulty. Our only complaint is the volume controls in the game weren’t working so we had to turn the sound down from the actual computer settings for the browser. Not the greatest option because we still needed to communicate and the music got louder as you got closer to finishing. Otherwise, we love it and want to do another!

We absolutely love the convenience of the online escape room experience as a family! It provides a genuinely engaging and challenging experience that feels remarkably similar to a traditional, in-person escape room, but with the added benefit of being able to enjoy it from the comfort of our own home. It is also a much more affordable option, making it easier for us to enjoy these experiences together as a family without the expense of going out.

The puzzles and challenges are well thought out, and we particularly appreciate the hint system. The clues are introduced gradually, starting with subtle suggestions that encourage you to think things through for yourselves before offering more direct guidance if needed. This strikes a great balance between providing assistance and allowing you to experience the satisfaction of solving the puzzles independently.

Another real highlight is how interactive the experience is for the kids. They can click on different objects, explore each scene, investigate the details and actively contribute to solving the challenges. This keeps them engaged and involved throughout the experience, rather than feeling like they are simply watching the adults do all the work.

Overall, it is a fantastic way for our family to spend quality time together. It combines problem-solving, teamwork and plenty of fun in a convenient, affordable and accessible format. We have really enjoyed the experience and would happily recommend it to other families looking for an entertaining activity they can enjoy together at home.

This was such a fun bonding time that you can experience with friends and family. Im on my way to go purchase more stories. I cant get enough !!!!

Hands down I am too dumb for the puzzles. Overall it was difficult, not intuitive until you click every single puzzle on the screen, and most puzzles require guess work rather than logic. What bothers me the most is how much we paid for it. The so called plot and the graphics etc are from early 2000s and not worth the money. I encourage people to go do real life escape rooms.

Joined and played our first virtual escape room with my two daughters (13 and 11) and we had a blast. Chose 2/5 difficulty for our first mission and it was perfectly matched to our beginner status. Story was interesting and advanced enough to keep kids interested. The reading was challenging but not too hard. Clues were both easy and hard to work out so we needed to hints a few times. Price was fair. Each player can have the game on their own device in same room or remotely. We will definitely do more this school holidays

We had a great time trying to solve the puzzles. We worked together as a team. Lots of fun

We've tried online escape rooms from all sorts of providers; the quality varies, of course, but what is being 'offered' here for that kind of money is genuinely an outrage. The whole thing leaves you with the feeling of having just been scammed. Absolutely lifeless, uninspired, and embarrassingly constructed 'puzzles' with no context, story, or rhyme or reason. It completely lacks any atmosphere, operating at the level of 20-year-old Flash browser games, yet priced like a triple-A game. The abrupt, utterly anticlimactic ending leaves you with a very hollow feeling of disappointment. Absolute Trash!

First off we couldn't start the game because the first person that joins is automatically the leader with no way to change it. That person's connection dropped and we couldn't even start, and you can't leave the game to reset and start a new one with the same voucher, meaning we had to wait until that person eventually came back and let us start.

Then in the subway murder case the notebook wasnt rendering properly so we couldnt get the clues we needed and had to keep using hints just to progress, losing any actual meaning from solving the case. Which is a shame because the parts that worked were actually fun.

I couldnt find any way to leave feedback on the game, so this is the only way I could see to do it. If they fixed their issues it would be nice, but otherwise a waste of money.

It's good for what it is, I liked that it was easy and fun to watch the videos. I didn't like how the story didn't really make much sense and not a lot happened.

Customer service is horrible. No responses through chat and email. I don't recommend virtual escaping.

It was a lot of fun. Unable to video with everyone, it did not allow everyone to be on the video. Also, hard to have everyone on laptops when everyone doesn't own one so having it cellphone compatible might extend it to other users.

Super fun for a random night w the family. Will def do again!

We enjoyed it.

One big complaint was about one of the clues.

In the music clue, the sheet music shows Treble and bass clefs... the way it's displayed indicates they're traditionally played at the same time, not line by line.

We had SO much fun. We were entertained and challenged for hours with the bundle we purchased. Can't wait to do more!

We played Underground Murder and it was so fun! It had lots of twists and turns and really makes you think, which we love! Highly recommend for your next date night in or when you have friends over!

My girlfriend and I did Murder in the Alley and it was a lot of fun. We jumped right into it and quickly got a sense for how to navigate the puzzles; it was fun. Does it replace an escape room in person? Probably not, but it's a GREAT way to do escape rooms if you and your team aren't physically together. Highly recommend.

The games are a lot of fun!

My friends and I have been playing Virtual Escaping’s adventures for a couple of years now, and we absolutely love them.

They’re clever, brilliantly put together and ridiculously entertaining. Are we any good at them? No. Absolutely not. At this point, I’m fairly sure the biggest mystery is how we’ve managed to remain friends. 🤣

If you’re looking for a fun night in with good company, a genuinely thrilling adventure and the opportunity to discover which of your friends becomes completely useless under mild imaginary pressure, I can’t recommend Virtual Escaping highly enough.

Five stars. Would happily fail to escape again.

Game was easy to initiate, and began with an intriguing backstory, and was fun and challenging to play. We did have to cave and use a couple hints because a couple times it was confusing as to what to do next with a multi-area playing field, but glad there was that function to use.
Would recommend for a fun at-home date night or with a small group of friends.
