We had a blast! Really nice guy, always willing to help and making sure we are enjoying. We are definitely coming back! read more

What a great experience! My wife and I played with our two older (20-ish) kids. Sweating, laughing, cooperating in the Kitchen game was a blast. It's a 45 minute drive, but we will go back one day. Sam was an excellent host. read more

This was so fun!! My roomie and I decided to try this place for fun. I called in earlier to book a spot and it was really easy to reserve on a Friday night. They were really patient with us as we walked in when we were chosing what escape room we wanted to try. It's split by difficulty level and he was nice enough to patiently show us all the options and their trailers. The whole VR experience was great. This is different than a normal escape room where there are riddles, but the programmers got really creative! You can drink potions, catch flying keys, throw things... Our helper, Sam, was really wonderful and helpful. He even helped us record us during our VR so we can see how silly we were. I would definitely come back and recommend this place. It was safe, organized, and really fun. read more

Absolutely phenomenal game, equipment and service! My husband and I visit Oceanside frequently to visit family and we came across this place when we were looking for new and fun activities to do. We've done plenty of escape rooms together in the past, so we wanted to try something new. The guy running the place was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable (wish I would have got his name!) We'll definitely be back! :) read more

Hosted a birthday party for my son's 8th birthday and really appreciated how smoothly the staff handled this rowdy bunch; especially the lead staff member, Sam. They were super professional, were clear with instructions and expectations upfront, and were ready to help throughout the entire event. The kids had a blast! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! read more

We had an awesome time at Escape to VR! We met Sam, the owner -- great guy and super friendly. We played the Dragon Tower game, which was an absolute blast. Since we finished a little early, Sam gave us extra time to try more -- really appreciated that. The place is very clean, well run, and welcoming. They even offered us complimentary drinks on the way out. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Carlsbad -- definitely worth the visit! read more

We brought our teenage son and his friend for his birthday. The four of us played the Manor escape room. We had so much fun!!!!! It combined VR gaming, an escape room where we all had to work together and a scary house but it was not too scary at all. Worth every penny. We will definitely be going back to try out a different one soon! read more

I went here for the 1st time with my boyfriend and his 11 year old son. I did not expect it to feel so real, but it did! The game we played was the pirate escape and your pirate lizards so of course you know it's not you. But when your in the game WOW... you really feel like you're picking up the bombs and throwing them over the ship. I loved out so much I took my nephews to another VR room in Long Beach and it was not as good at all. I've gone back now 2 times boyfriends and his kid and some friends and I can't wait to go again. The prices are great too! I recommend for any family or friends looking to spend quality time and having fun! I can't believe the technology! read more

We love going here for family fun! It's a good workout if you're competitive like us! My favorite is the bow & arrow game - arms sore every time!! I love it!! Owner is great & friendly! read more

We hosted a large party with 17 people last Sat. Everyone had an amazing time, the staff was super nice. I thought 2.5 hours was long but it went by so fast we wanted to keep playing. The headsets worked great, and no issues even with such a large group. I was very impressed with the setup and professionalism of the setup. Pirate lizards was my favorite game. read more

I highly recommend escape to VR, I have done three sessions here on various of their games, the underwater game, the medieval game, and also A Star Wars like Game and they were all amazing. It is such a fun group activity, all the guys that work there are super nice and accommodating, I can't wait to do more virtuality experiences through them. I am in my mid-30s, however I have also gone with my parents who are in their 60s and they had such a great time, whether you're going for a special occasion, or just to do something different you will not be disappointed. And the first time I went it was kind of hard to find, the actual virtual reality room is above the mattress store in the parking lot there, I called to make reservations and they're super quick to respond, like I said you won't be disappointed I've been to many other VR places and they don't compare. Thanks Guys, Nick B. read more

I had never done VR or an escape room before and this was so much fun. The staff was great and helpful. The person in our group who did the booking was told that the experience she had picked was one of the harder ones and they explained to us about the other experiences and what the difficulty was for those ones and let us change to an easier experience (osiris) since it was our first time. It was a blast to work with my friends and figure out the tasks we needed to do. When we completed our experience early the staff let us play a mini game which was also highly entertaining. When we finished we all agreed that it was so much more fun then we had anticipated. Can't wait to go back and try the other experiences! read more

Oh my gosh! My son and I had such a FABULOUS experience!! It was our first time and April walked us through the whole process with such genuine patience and upstanding. Helped us choose the best game for our level. We also had the opportunity to meet Christopher. He was very nice as well. If you are looking for something different and exciting, this is your place! Thank you again April! read more

Fun for the whole family. Great bonding experience. The dragon one was similar to game of thrones.

We had my granddaughters birthday party here last Saturday. Hats off to the staff! Everyone was so kind and accommadating. Very relaxed and inviting. The 8 year old girls had a blast and said they wanted to have their next party here. Very reasonable price for what you get. Small space for the actual party and decorations but it worked just fine! read more

So I only tried VR once before at Wonder Spaces but THIS WAS ON A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL! One of our friends had been here before and told us how much fun she had so we all came by this past weekend to check it out! They're located in Encinitas in a convenient shopping center that has tons of parking (always important to me). The suite is upstairs and when you walk in, you see tech all around you! There is a big room with green walls that they called the grid, and inside that grid is where you enter another world through VR! The owner was super cool, very personable. His daughter was there helping out and she was soo helpful describing the different choices we had to play. We ended up selecting a game where we are fighting a dragon! OMG - it was so fun and really difficult! You think that because you know that it's not real that you won't get sucked into it but I'm telling you right now - your brain gets tricked! It was nuts! You find yourself totally ducking, or trying to step over ropes that you know aren't there but you just can't help it! It was such a unique experience. They have so many games to choose from and the technology is constantly improving. These guys are really in the center of it all and even develop some of their own games! I think this is something that everyone should try at least once, and I am pretty sure most people won't stop there! One of my friends is booking them for a party - that's gonna be soooo RAD!! read more

Such a great time! I didn't think this would be as good as a traditional escape room. I was so wrong. The graphics were so realistic and amazing and the staff was so helpful. I would highly recommend! read more

From the customer service to the entertainment, it was amazing. The staff is very friendly and helpful in maximizing your experience.

My husband, my two 17 year old daughters, and I have done the VR Escape rooms at this location multiple times and have had a blast each time. The facility doesn't look like much, however, none of that matters once you are inside your virtual reality. The graphics are awesome and the puzzles are complex, but as a team, we have made it out of each one. We have done the Osirus (my favorite), the Dragons Lair, the Haunted Mansion, and yesterday we did the time travel and the runaway train, recommend all of them! The staff is also friendly and interested in your feedback of the experience. Highly recommend for a great time! read more

We went as a family of four with one kid on the younger end of the spectrum for what would normally be allowed at a VR place. The manager was helpful in suggesting the right game suitable for a younger child, and he gave us helpful personal attention when needed. We had so much fun. It was my first attempt at VR, and I was impressed with how immersive it was. The equipment didn't cause nausea or feel overwhelming. The others in my family had been to another VR place before, but that one only had standard games, not an escape room. The escape room was great because we could all work together. I don't post reviews much anymore, but I wanted to comment because I hope more people can enjoy this experience. read more

So much fun. Have been for both a 14 yo and 16 yo bday and both groups seemed to really enjoy it. Picked the easier ones but still was a challenge. Was even fun just as an "observer" watching them wander around the green screen room. There's a screen where you can see what they're seeing. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is the first VR escape room I've experienced, and oh my what a cool experience! Us friends had many moments where we busted out laughing as we had some trouble figuring out the puzzles at times, but we are proud to say that we completed it in time. The owner Sam was very kind in helping us set up the appointment and giving recommendations about which escape room we should choose. There were so many to choose from! I am definitely coming back to try another with more friends. If you have never experienced VR before, this is a place to go. Sam was very kind in letting us play a mini VR game after the hour, since we had a little time left. He even offered us water since we were all sweating from the goggles and the summer heat. He even showed us a clip of us playing the game and how ridiculous we looked picking up imaginary objects and throwing them! Thank you for such a fun experience! Looking forward to coming again read more

Such a fun trip and definitely worth the price point. They have so many different rooms to choose from and the dragon one was very fun. Will return. read more

I went here twice, both time doing the VR laser tag, I was skeptical about it being VR at first, but the experience was super enjoyable and I would love to do it again, and even try their escape rooms! Each time I went the staff was very helpful and patient. 5/5 would recommend to anyone who wants to try something new! read more

So much more fun that I thought it would be! Booked a 20 person corporate team building event a week in advance with ease. Nice set up, reasonable pricing, and you can bring your own food and beverage. Fantastic for team building as it really brought out sides of everyone we don't see in the office. I can see it being fun for all ages and types of events. Will definitely be returning as a team and on my own. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon! read more

Fun and entertaining date night. It was my first time and our hostess was super informative and explained how to use the equipment and detail on each expedition. We choose a medium level challenge and it was not easy. This is a team effort and communication is key. We made it all the way to the end and to kill off the dragons. Would recommend to anyone who is bored with movie night and wants to change things up. read more

I liked it. I think unexpected more rooms though. And for the exit door not to be so close to entry door.

Just had a great time today with my daughter. She played much better than I, but it was still fun! The man running it was very kind and helped out when needed. Take a friend and have a great hour of fun! read more

Awesome experience! We did the Beyond Medusa's Gate Escape Room Experience here today and it was SUPER cool. We actually had 8 people in our party so we split into teams of 4 and both did the same escape room back to back. Most of us are gamers but not all of us had used VR before. One of our friends doesn't have a lot of video game experience and she had a blast. It is so immersive. I don't want to give much away about the game play but you are in a cave it feels like you ARE actually in that cave. For this game, you don't physically walk around but you do move your body a lot (turning around, simulated shooting bows/arrows, crouching down, etc.). Parts of it felt very real. You solve little puzzles but it's very action/adventure based than mind twisting puzzles you get in a traditional escape room. Even if you aren't a "gamer", it is so much fun and you should be able to pick it up quickly because it doesn't involve complex button pushing. One of the employees, Sam, was very helpful and incredibly nice. He made sure we all had a great time. I HIGHLY recommend it. read more

we had so much fun here. First time trying VR and it's really good experience. you guys must try this
