Our Experience
A couple of us weren’t sold on VR escape rooms beforehand. “Escape rooms should be hands-on” — that kind of thing. The moment we strapped on the packs and goggles, every reservation evaporated.
The immersion is remarkable. You’re equipped with controller-hands that grab and release items with one button click. It’s seamless enough that Ryan and Wes immediately started throwing things off the space station — including items we almost certainly needed.
The room is split into two sections. The first section we worked through relatively quickly. The second required genuine teamwork and communication to figure out roles, mechanics, and execution. Not the most difficult room we’ve done, but it presents real challenges and doesn’t guarantee success.
Four players is the sweet spot. Two would be tough; large groups don’t fit the format. The technology adapts to your progress in some sections, which adds to the sense that the environment is responding to you.
We left on an adrenaline high, replaying every step, gushing about it for hours.
Conclusion
SS Tiberia is pure fun — a must-try for anyone curious about VR escape rooms, anyone chasing an adrenaline hit, or anyone looking for something genuinely different on a Saturday night. It delivers.
