FAQ
Getting Started
Why should I launch a VR escape room?
VR escape rooms are an attractive innovation to add on to your business that allow you to host multiple rooms in a single space. Moreover, there’s no room reset time and no prop repair to worry about.
Players come into the experience with an intuitive understanding of what they need to do, and our software allows them to explore places and challenges not possible with traditional physical rooms. VR escape rooms are not only great for repeat business as you can offer more scenarios in the same space, but they’ll give you a strong competitive edge.
Who can use vrCAVE products?
We work with escape room owners, VR arcades, and family entertainment centres. If you offer location-based entertainment and have a little room, chances are you’re a great fit.
What is required to run a VR escape room?
You need three things: software, hardware, and space.
We currently offer up to six unique software experiences, and can supply the hardware. All you need is an empty room with a minimum of 15′ x 18′ (4.6 m x 5.5 m) open space.
What does a VR escape room cost?
Our packages depend upon your specific situation and needs. Please contact us to get more information. The cost to your customers can be comparable to your traditional escape room pricing, all while providing a strong ROI.
Are demos available?
Yes! Please request a demo by contacting us. We’d love to share a hands-on opportunity for you to see the magic of our VR escape rooms.

How do VR escape rooms work?
Just as in traditional escape rooms, our VR escape rooms require players to complete some objective within a time limit. In groups of up to four, players walk around in the same physical space and collaborate to solve problems.
We create situations not possible in traditional rooms — a space station with a sweeping view of the Earth, a time machine that requires players solve puzzles across different time periods — but by reaching out with their hands via controllers and manipulating objects and the environment, players progress through the scenario and either succeed or fail.
What VR products are currently available?
vrCAVE currently has 10 unique experiences available for use in any business. See them all and learn more about each by visiting our games page.
How often does vrCAVE make new escape rooms?
We create and release a new addition to our library every year — meaning you’ll regularly have more and more options available for your customers.
Are there safety concerns with VR?
vrCAVE is tried and tested. Our games are designed to be safe and accessible — each game starts with an optional pre-recorded safety demonstration, and our games do not require players to run, jump, or do anything that might put them in harm’s way.
Will my customers experience VR sickness?
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.
How should my customers prepare before playing?
There are no special requirements. The headsets will fit over most glasses and will work just fine with contacts. The controls are very simple and intuitive — players walk freely and can reach to interact with objects using intuitive, handheld controllers.
How many people can play at once?
Our escape rooms support 2−5 players. The experiences are designed with collaboration in mind, so while they’re not generally suitable for single players, you can be sure that everyone will be working together excitedly!
Do VR escape rooms reduce overhead compared to physical escape rooms?
How much space do I need per VR escape room?
For a group of 2 – 6 players, a 17′ x 20′ area works best. Bigger spaces with extra buffer feel even better, but that’s the minimum we recommend to keep everything safe and comfortable. If your room isn’t quite that, let us know: there is some flexibility.
How do I train staff for VR escape rooms?
