💛 Why we love it
Because it's escape games reinvented—and much more impressive. Here, there are no padlocks or hidden keys: you put on a VR headset and are transported to another world, life-size. Time travel, a Gaulish village with Asterix, a zombie apocalypse… We love the collaborative aspect—everyone plays simultaneously in the same virtual universe—and the fact that even complete beginners can get the hang of it in less than 5 minutes. A perfect activity for any weather, accessible from age 8, and one that rarely leaves groups unmoved.

Opened in November 2023 in the heart of Lyon's 2nd arrondissement, Virtual Room is the city's first collaborative virtual reality room. Halfway between an escape game and an interactive cinema, the experience allows groups to 2 to 12 players to evolve simultaneously in the same virtual universe, headsets and controllers in hand, while moving freely in physical space.

The catalogue offers several exclusive adventures designed by the in-house studio: Time Travel (chapters 1 and 2), Press Start (an abandoned retro arcade), Are We Dead? (zombie atmosphere) and — a highly anticipated new feature — Asterix: Mission Potions!, The first VR escape game dedicated to the famous Gaulish village, accessible from age 8. Communication, cooperation and teamwork are the keys to each mission.

The experience is designed to be multigenerational You don't need to be a gamer to enjoy it. A game master accompanies each group, guides them through the process, and ensures the adventure runs smoothly. Ideal for families, friends, or for an original team-building activity.
