About
Teams step into virtual worlds that range from mysterious escape rooms, such as a jungle quest, to fast shooters like the zombie game Arizona Sunshine, working together to complete each mission. Haptic vests and gun controllers add to the immersion, and there are options for all ages, including children's parties and VR racing. The venue on Bonifatiusplein welcomes friends, families and colleagues, and its packages make it easy to organise a group outing in Friesland.

Format
The experience
The atmosphere and the groups this venue has in mind.
Atmosphere
Instead of a physical set, you step into worlds that ignore the rules of reality. The Ubisoft escape games are designed to avoid motion sickness and described as non-violent and cooperative, so mixed-age groups from 12 to 85 can play, while horror titles are there for those who want a scare. Afterwards the team photo and drinks happen at the bar.
Who it suits
Families, company teams of up to 40, birthday groups and friends who want a high-tech alternative to a classic room. A VR escape session lasts roughly an hour, with a short arena warm-up before it.
Good to know
Intensity, accessibility, booking and facilities, as the venue lists them.
