Trapped Escape Rooms

A real life themed adventure in the heart of Gloucester where players work together to escape a locked room in 60 minutes. Use your mind not your muscles in this challenging yet fun game with your family and friends.

Reviewed By jeremyn208 - Peterborough, United Kingdom

Our first escape room in many months, and we were proud to be the first customers to walk through the door on their first day of opening since lockdown. A friendly welcome greeted us with excellent consideration to Covid precautions throughout. We tackled 'The Butcher' room and despite being an experienced group with 15 or so other escape rooms under our belts we still found this room fairly challenging, only escaping with seconds to spare! Thrilling to see the last few minutes ticking away on the countdown timer and such a buzz escaping in the nick of time! Plenty of thinking needed to solve puzzles plus physical clues to find. Great fun though and the theming was excellent. We booked an early slot on a weekday so it was good value too. Recommended to all and we would certainly visit again for the other rooms if we're holidaying in the area again.

We booked 2 booths for an hour for our young family. The team at vrexperience we’re really helpful throughout and the kids absolutely loved it. Any younger than 6 1/2 and the headset might not fit! Great way to spend an hour or so. £15 per booth per hour at the discount rate.

Popped in out of interest on the Saturday. Friendly staff gave us a tour. So impressed returned for sessions the following day. Kids (6 and 8) had first real experience climbing. They did the Mice session and had a fantastic time. The young lad taking the session was great. The kids really warmed to him and threw themselves into it. I had a play bouldering which was really fun and challenging. Really helpful, friendly staff. Good feel about the place. Well run and fun. Highly recommended.

Tenpin Gloucester

Reviewed By EurodjBusinessman - London, United Kingdom

We used the bowling and soft-play as well as had something to eat. The place is well laid out and had good facilities. They quite badly understaffed in the soft play area but the one member of staff they had was working incredibly hard and was very friendly despite clearly being under pressure. Management: Candice deserves a pay rise!
