How to get to VR Escape Linz and organisational information:

The journey to the VR Escape was relatively relaxed for us adventurers - because we used our Climate & Leisure tickets to get from Schwanenstadt to the jungle. We boarded the REX 🚂 to Linz, had a quick snack at the Indigo in the Promenadengalerie - to fortify ourselves for the exciting challenges - then continued to the Escape Room 2.0. From the main railway station, you can easily take tram 3 or 4 to the „Biegung“ station. After that, it is only a 6-minute walk to the experience. 🚶‍♀️

✅ Cost of a ticket:

That's me - completely immersed in another world and at that moment I also forgot that I have a body in the real world that has just been decoupled from my mind. 😮

VR Escape Linz - the experience for the whole family in the virtual world

On a rainy Friday evening, Jasmin, Michael and I made our way to VR Escape Linz, eager to see what awaited us. When we arrived, we were greeted by an extremely warm team member who made us feel welcome and in good hands. 🤗

During the fun and friendly briefing, Magdalena explained everything we needed to know to start our adventure in virtual reality. We were shown a defined area on the carpet where we could move and turn freely to explore our surroundings.

Finally, it was time to immerse ourselves in the captivating world of VR Escape Linz. We put on our VR goggles 👓 and headphones 🎧 and suddenly found ourselves in a completely new reality. The controls were simple and intuitive, allowing us to concentrate fully on the experience.

Once we arrived together in the Jungle - admittedly after initially familiarising ourselves with the surroundings and having fun - we mastered challenges and solved tricky puzzles while being completely immersed in the world of VR Escape Linz.

An absolutely fantastic experience for young and old!

So as not to spoil anything, we have decided not to reveal anything about the game we played. We have only included a few pictures to give you an insight into the world. One thing I can reveal so far: Once you're in the game - just play! You can't go wrong unless you co-operate and don't talk to each other - then it can get pretty difficult. 

Our experience and conclusion about the VR Escape in Linz

In fact, I was extremely fascinated by the advanced technology and the great realisation of the entire adventure. We deliberately opted for a simple adventure and were done with the puzzles in just under 30 minutes. As we were so quick, we were allowed to play a bonus game where we had to prevent monsters from passing through a passageway with a bow and arrow.

The last time I wore VR glasses, what felt like 6-7 years ago, I immediately felt nauseous and had a headache 😵‍💫 - that was definitely not the case here, which contributed to my absolute enthusiasm!

We did it! We have successfully solved the escape puzzle.

Initially, I intended to compile a list of pros and cons for you for such experiences. In fact, I can't think of anything that would have been negative - the overall package was coherent and the adventure did 2 things: 1. my view of VR has really changed for the better and 2. we're already thinking about what VR Escape we'll play next in Linz. ❤️

There was also a surprise: we saw each other in the game with our avatars. I also always had an eye on my friends' every move.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your friends, family and colleagues and immerse yourself in the fascinating world of VR Escape!
