this was our second visit to an escape room ,we did the greenbeard pirate room and were "captivated" from the start .Assisted via screen with a few helpful hints ,we could kick ourselves for missing some ,which were obvious and others which we would have never achieved .The puzzles were a variety of challenges and we are hooked to complete more .The premises were in keeping with covoid guidelines and we felt adequately protected

We decided to book this game at short notice, after our holiday in Norfolk started out decidedly wet and we needed something indoors to enjoy. Despite some first time nerves, this ended up being a ln absolutely superb escape game and out game master Holly was fab; friendly knowledgeable and helpful when we needed it! We escaped with 1min 12 secs to spare and found it very tricky (2 players). We definitely want to come back to enjoy a tour run by this company and to do the Blickling escape room too. Highly recommended!

My child's 10th party for 6 girls was great fun this week. The instructor was fun, girls loved the activities and to keep costs down we took their own packed lunches and ate them in the cafe area with birthday cake. Parents had lovely coffees and snacks from the cafe and enjoyed being able to watch the girls climb. Thanks to all the helpful friendly staff.

Reviewed By Derailer - Norwich, United Kingdom

We (2 adults & 2 children) had an amazing experience at Norwich VR. We did the Huxley escape and I can honestly say that out of all the escape rooms I have done, this was one of the best. I have never done a VR one before and I was a little apprehensive on what the experience would be like. However, The graphics, gameplay and general feel of the game was fantastic. So engaging that the time just flies by. The whole time we were in there it literally was so realistic and smooth gameplay, it’s freaky! The host was very informative and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and my kids wanted to do another one straight away! Amazing experience, we will be back!!
