VR Puzzle and Escape Room Games

Looking for a VR game to enjoy puzzles or to enrich an Escape Room?

Live-Action Escape Rooms offer a real experience where the player tries to escape from a room with all kinds of hidden puzzles. This offers a very nice experience for team building or parties, for example, because you with your team tries to escape from a room together. This requires you to work together and think carefully about the puzzles and secret hints that are in the room. But the disadvantage of a physical Escape Room is that building it is quite a job.

That is why a lot of Virtual Reality Escape Rooms have taken off in recent years. The advantage of a VR Escape Room is that you no longer need a physical space to offer a player a cool experience, but simply set up the Headset. Then the player can escape from the 'virtual' room. Whether from a dungeon in the Middle Ages or on a space mission in the future: with VR there are no limits to how crazy it can go.

Escape Room VR games don't just have to be about the traditional 'escaping' a room. There are also plenty of puzzle games that use Virtual Reality in other fun ways, for example by defusing a bomb together. To give you some tips, we have compiled a list of with our recommended VR puzzle and Escape Room games.

1. The Gallery

The Gallery is a puzzle game with escape room elements. In the first part (Episode 1: Call of the Star Seed) you need to find your missing sister. You start on a mysterious island and follow your sister's directions through a series of old-fashioned cassette tapes. The developers call the game a 'build-for-VR game', inspired by dark fantasy movies from the 80s.

Thanks to its island-like theme, the game is reminiscent of the famous television series 'Lost'. There is a mysterious puzzle on every corner of the island. De aandacht voor detail in de omgevingen zorgt voor een uitstekend gevoel van onderdompeling, wat waarschijnlijk een van de redenen is dat HTC VIVE deze game ooit heeft gekozen als "VR must have-game". 

The whole game feels well worked out and polished. The controls are well worked out, especially for users who only have a small VR leeway available. This game is a must have if you like VR puzzle and adventure games.

2. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

In Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes a player is trapped in a room with a ticking time bomb that he must defuse. The other players are the 'experts' who must give the instructions to defuse the bomb by deciphering the Information in the Bomb Defusal Manual. But there is a catch: only the 'experts' can see the bomb on the television screen... So keep talking with the player who has to defuse the bomb!

Laps are fast, tense, sometimes crazy, and almost always loud. Iedereen moet zijn eigen rol vervullen, of ze nu de bom onschadelijk moeten maken of Information uit de handleiding zien te ontcijferen. 

Puzzle-solving and communication skills are put to the test in this game. The best part of this game is that everyone has to participate fanatically and no one can watch, because the bomb keeps ticking!

Abode is a classic escape room title. Solve multiple puzzles to find keys and other materials, which you can then use to solve another puzzle until you finally get a code that will allow you to escape the room.
