Entermission, an escape room designer, is launching its first VR escape room at TransWorld's Room Escape Show and Conference in San Antonio, Texas, US, which runs until tomorrow.

Having operated an Escape Hunt business in Australia and New Zealand since 2014 and co-founded Virtual Reality Rooms, Entermission founder Christal Ho has a wealth of experience in both VR and escape rooms. “Lots of VR escape games have been created by VR fanatics and video game companies, but none have addressed the primary problems that escape room operators struggle with,” said Ho. “With Entermission we have unlocked an affordable, profitable, easy-to-operate solution to expensive buildouts that create months of downtime, wasted labour resetting rooms after every game and large spaces dedicated to only a single game.”

While other VR escape rooms require 400sq.ft for four players, Entermission’s rooms fit six players in only 170sq.ft.

Ho said that most VR escape rooms send each player into an isolated room by themselves. However, with Entermission, six people play together in the same room.
