Asylum
My family enjoyed our afternoon sorting through clues in various rooms and on different floors. My only tip would be to make it clearer how to enter a lobby and join a game. Other than that, graphics were amazing, and it was a fun experience.
Nice experience!
The escaperoom has very nice effects. It shows a realistic view of how things are and puzzles are sometimes complicated, but not too complicated. Furthermore it's a handy thing that you can start the same escaperoom on several computers so you can play together. We would recommend it if you would like to have a nice evening with several people and do not want to go out.
Always GREAT games!
Always GREAT games!
We just enjoy another game from VirtualEscaping.com - this time we walked through Merlins Castle.
Nice graphic, not to much noice (aka: music), and for the first time, we tried playing on 2 PC's.
We actually were faster through this game, than we usually are - maybe because we were on diferent PC's :)
I loved these rooms
I loved these rooms! As a single person who doesnt get out much these rooms have enriched my life at home on the couch. Id love to not beable to use hints and always regret using them when the answers are obvious after the fact.
Great escapes!
There is a good selection of games at reasonable prices. We played Murder On The Underground and Merlin’s Castle. Both were very good games that reflected their difficulty rating well. The puzzles were challenging without being to difficult, great visuals well laid out. We played as a family and had a great time doing so. We will definitely be back to play more. 😃
Murder in the Alley - Game is pretty good
Game was pretty good, I liked most of the puzzles, would be better if hints did not need to be closed and could be always seen, as well as something like a "hotspot" to show where you click when you hover over stuff, as opposed to the mouse changing.
We spent most our game guessing
We spent most our game guessing, unable to find clues except by randomly clicking. We do lots of escape rooms, in person and online. This was one of the most disappointing and frustrating ones we have ever done.
We did the detective one (Murder in the Alley). We solved it but had no idea what the solution was even when we finished. Suddenly it was just over and we had won. We rarely had moments of understanding what the solution to the next puzzle was. More often, we had no idea what to do, had to get a clue and then just kind of randomly guessing or clicking until something worked.

Super entertaining
Super entertaining! I love playing these games with my boyfriend. These games help keeping your brain young. Go for it!

I didn’t know what to expect when doing an online escape room at home, but I was amazed at how much fun it actually was lolol!!!!Everybody had a fantastic time and now I keep their name on my frige because I do not want to forget how much fun an online escape room at home can be! What a fun and different thing to do with people and even just with whoever you live with! It can’t be an easy thing to create and make GREAT either! So kudos! And thank you!
Fantastic experience
This was our first time doing an online escape room and we loved it. I purchased a bundle package and have only just done “Detention”. Had four other family members join from around the country to play and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We decided not to use the online chat room and found it easier to all connect through messenger while we played. We are all looking forward to playing the next escape room and would absolutely recommend Virtual Escaping 😊
Two player fun from anywhere!
These games are super fun! My long-distance boyfriend and I made a date night out of it and had a great time:) Sometimes they had trouble syncing up if one of us did something in the room but overall we enjoyed it.
Great fun!
My daughter & I have done 3 rooms and have really enjoyed the challenges. Some of the clues are a bit obscure, but once we got the idea it was smooth sailing. We will definitely do it again.

My friends and I have really enjoyed the games so far. What we love the most is how we are able to connect even from states apart. It means the world to us to still be able to do escape rooms even when we are not together physically.
Great for long distance relationships
My partner and I looooooove real life Escape Rooms and it’s our go-to date night idea
However, we had to spend a couple months apart on the other side of the world and as a surprise date he booked one of these online escape rooms
We enjoyed it enough that we even went and got another one when there was a Xmas discount, as we were at a beach town together over the holidays on a rainy day with nothing to do
Glass of wine and a virtual escape room is a great idea for long distance relationships/friendships and if you’re stuck at home bored on a rainy day
Great group activity
I had never done an online escape room before, and was pleasantly surprised! I did one with three other family members of varying ages and it was challenging enough to push us, but still achievable to get the room completed in the allotted time frame. We will definitely do it again.
Enjoyable games
We enjoyed playing Murder in the Alley, Echoes of the Asylum and Artefact Isle. They do test your way of thinking and nothing is obvious. Because we don't set the time challenge we take our time, relax and collaborate so we each understand what's going on. There have been a few technical glitches but VE have responded quickly and fixed the issue...in this respect we have been happy to wait a day or so before picking up the game again. We like that we can resume the game later without it expiring. Overall a good experience with VE.
Virtual Escaping Review
This is a very well put together online escape room website! Me and my girlfriend are located pretty far apart. One of our favorite things to do is online escape rooms. We have played every escape room offered here and enjoyed the experience on this website the most compared to the other ones we’ve tried out. We don’t prefer an online host for the escape rooms and this site is entirely computer based and is very easy to form groups of people to participate in the fun. Video call for players involved in the game is also provided. If there is one thing I could ask for on this site, it would be more escape rooms to play! I am hoping to see more escape rooms from Virtual Escaping in the future.
Great rooms, lots of fun
We’ve played three rooms and have enjoyed them all. They are just like in person escape rooms but my mom and I can play together from different states. The puzzles are exactly like what you’d get from in person escape rooms. If you’re not used to doing escape rooms, start with an easy one to learn how the puzzles work. If you jump right into a difficult one, you’ll be very frustrated but that’s not the game’s fault!

My friends and I have been playing the virtual escaping games for 4 years now and love them. They’re a fantastic and engaging game experience.
