It was my second time experiencing VR, but my first time visiting Escape VR. Similar to my first…read moreexperience, I enjoyed the selection of single player VR games. However, what really sold me were two things: (1) the customer service of the staff and (2) the arcade's strive for innovation and progression in enhancing the VR experience. The staff where very kind and accommodating, even with our large party of 7. They did their best to provide a wide range of games for us to play. In addition, after our time was up, my friends and I got to beta test their first multiplayer VR backpacks. Imagine being able to physically move around and play with your friends in an open space - awesome, right? This is a but a glimpse of what Escape VR at Oxford, MI can provide to the public. I'm only in Michigan for vacation this weekend, but this visit was the most memorable. As an engineer, I appreciate their innovation and profession in VR, and I hope the next time I visit MIchigan, I get to see how much this place has grown.

This seems like a good idea in theory but the set up doesn't deliver. The staff was a bunch of…read moreyoung people with their friends hanging around talking to them and distracting them from customers. When there was an issue the staff was very slow and melancholy. The games were cool and the price was reasonable but not worth driving a long distance to go to. The place is located in a complex with lots of other cool things to do though!

This place was really fun! A new era of high tech gaming, that also gets you moving. I think their…read moremost well known game is the mega grid one, but they have a large variety of games that combine movement, reaction time, skill, speed, etc supported by a variety of digital screens and lights and trackers. Pretty impressive. Was pretty busy the time we went (Friday evening) so we didn't necessarily get to do the group favorites as many times (sharing!). I also kind of had in the back of mind how many surfaces we were touching that everyone else there was also touching (from a hygiene perspective as we're in prime sick time). The group photo booth was cute, but I think we incorrectly assumed the photos would get sent to the emails of those who scanned their wristbands in? That seems to not be the case and no one ended up getting the photos which is kind of a bummer. Otherwise, good fun and a good experience. Staff were friendly and helpful as well. Best to wear sneakers and comfortable clothing to move around in. There are lockers and coat racks on site, and a huge parking lot.

Nico greeted us, gave us our bracelets, and pulled up our remaining balance to pay since paying the deposit online. We each signed a waiver and made a player profile on 10 iPads set up in the lobby. We received 2 locker bands to put our things away. Then Nico walked us through the gaming area - about 14 rooms with 4+ 30second-2minute games to choose from for 2-5 people. We split into 2 groups and started our game play by scanning our brackets at one of the doors and waiting for it to let us in (only a 1ish min wait while other groups do their game). After a few games we were able to reconfigure groups to hangout with new people in our party. The 1 hour timeframe only includes the time when you are in a game, so we ended up at activate for an hour and a half. We visited most rooms and probably played 10 different games, many of them multiple times through 1-4 levels. Once your time is low it tells you "1 game remaining!" It told us that twice so be sure to check your bracelet for an extra game at the end! We took a fun family photo in the Photo Booth at the end. Perhaps try that at the beginning before you get sweaty! It was more cardio and fun than expected :) There are so many games and levels that I would continue having a fun time after many visits. We'll definitely be back to activate! We'll try the one back home in Seattle next.

You put on all your gear and than get ready. Your only mission is you must survive. I was in a room with three people. We played zombie apocalypse. The stakes were high, we needed to extract data for the survival of the world. The building was infested with the dead. We went floor to floor to get high enough to get a signal. This experience felt so real. Every step feels like your last if you don't work together. The area you play in is huge. I can't state enough, don't go at it alone, work with a team. But definitely do it, it is so much fun wrapped into a thirty minute experience.

Terribly overpriced (think airport pricing) and poorly made drinks. The staff was very young and inexperienced while the "manager" on shift that night was obviously exceptionally high (could tell from his smell and severely impaired motor skills). I don't care for these types of establishments in general (game based experience for adults) but this was so bad that I feel compelled to warn others to keep your distance.

One of the tables has a bit of a slant to it and when you shoot a ball it does not go straight. There is no rake so forget using that to make the hard shots right now. There was only one rack for two tables and it is broken. I'm getting sick of going there and having very substandard equipment. If this goes on much longer I won't be back. The felt on one table is ripped and it could have been repaired quite a while back. There's a nice VR game there but the headset has a messed up strap. Last time I was there it was broken so only one of the two positions was usable to play. They did some ghetto fix for it but it's really not up to par. When that place is busy it's packed and I know they have the money for maintenance. There's no reason for this.
