What players say
This is the 4th escape room I've tried, and I must say it's my favorite. So many cool objects and the environment was very polished. The puzzles were also reasonable. Perhaps the hints could be optional and replaced with funny quotes or something. I thought the price was just right. Everyone wants it cheaper but when you think about it, a real escape room is about $25-30 per person. I highly recommend this one! Hope...
1 more review, not recommended
If you can get it for a couple dollars, sure, go for it. It is indeed just an 'escape room' like you would play in real life. Interesting to try, I suppose, but there's literally no payoff. It's a one time deal and $10 is way too much for what is essentially an experimental VR title. There are free titles with just as much content or more.
