Alice

Alice is a story-led VR adventure that leans hard into its fantasy setting, with playful urgency running through the whole thing. You tumble into Wonderland, step into Alice’s shoes and take on the Queen of Hearts, which gives the room an immediate identity and a clear sense of purpose. It is not trying to imitate a traditional physical escape room, and that is exactly how to judge it: this is about digital immersion, guided interaction and a strong theme rather than a cupboard full of props.

That VR-first approach is the main attraction. If your group is curious about how escape-room ideas translate into a headset, this looks like a smart, distinctive pick. The structure is likely more event-led than sprawling, with observation and progression doing more work than dense lock hunting, so it should suit teams that enjoy being carried through a story. As one concise take puts it, “A fun VR twist, though it won’t satisfy everyone wanting a traditional escape room.”

The upside is that the room can do things a conventional venue cannot, and that novelty is part of the appeal. There are signs of some clever moments in the design, and the concept itself has enough personality to carry the experience even before the puzzles are considered. “If you like guided VR gameplay, this can land brilliantly.” That feels like the right expectation for this one: guided, thematic and built around the strengths of the format.

The caveat is equally clear. Movement appears limited, and players who want to roam, reach, search and physically manipulate a space may find the VR setup frustrating. Purists should also note that this is much closer to a digital adventure with escape-room logic than a classic hands-on room. If that distinction matters to you, it will shape how much fun you have.

For families and mixed-age groups, the age guidance starts at 8 and the low physical demand makes it broadly approachable. The real filter here is taste, not difficulty. If you want a colourful Wonderland caper with a distinctive format and you are open to VR, this deserves attention. If you want tactile set design and the freedom of a full live room, it is probably not the one to travel for.
