Launched earlier this year, REALMS VR has brought an exciting new gaming experience to Crowborough. If you’ve tried a traditional Escape Room where you and your team are locked in and must solve puzzles to break free, then imagine that but on a whole new level. This is Virtual Reality (VR) and it’s open to adventurers aged 12+.
The magic begins the moment you put on the VR headset. Instantly, you and your teammates (groups of 2–6) are transported into another world, or even another universe, where the boundaries of reality no longer apply. The first step? Choosing your mission. Will you plot a daring prison escape, defend Earth from looming threats, outwit stealthy ninjas, or dive into one of the many other immersive scenarios on offer?
Owner Samy keeps the experience fresh with a growing collection of themed rooms, including seasonal specials. It’s worth keeping an eye on the website to see the latest additions.
For those new to VR, the technology is surprisingly intuitive. Within moments, your senses adapt to the virtual setting. With handheld sensors, you’ll find yourself picking up objects, pressing buttons, and interacting with your environment. Every action triggers responses such as clicks, clangs, and other sounds, all enhancing the illusion. You’ll see obstacles like desks, cupboards, or even gaps in the floor and your instincts react as if they were physically there. It’s a thrilling and often surreal sensation.
Worried about bumping into walls or colliding with fellow players? No need. Everyone in the game is represented by a virtual character, making teammates clearly visible as you move around.
Younger gamers aren’t left out either. For ages 7+, the venue transforms into a VR Games Room filled with colourful mini-games. Kids can engage in laser sword duels, take down robots, blast Smurfs with blueberries, or even join in snowball mayhem in the Arctic. With a 45-minute room hire, players can stick to one favourite or rotate through several for maximum fun.
With such a wide selection of experiences, REALMS VR is perfect for groups of friends, families, couples, or anyone looking for something out of the ordinary. Whether it’s adrenaline-fuelled teamwork or light-hearted fun, there’s something for everyone.
Conveniently located just behind Crowborough High Street at Basepoint (TN6 1DH), the venue also offers on-site parking to make stepping into another reality even easier.
