"My son & I booked the VR Escape Room, Beyond Medusas Gate 2 days ago and it was the best hour of fun and laughs I have had in a very long time. Really immersive and just the right level of challenge to work out the clues together and escape. We loved it so much we are going back with other family members today to try a different VR escape room."

"SO MUCH FUN!!! Such an amazing experience. Tried Alice in Wonderland VR Escape Room and it was truly magical! Will be so keen to try the other Escape Rooms! My partner and I both were so excited after we left. Worth every $"

Diana H ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"The Cave is definitely worth a visit, especially if you have a group of mates, as you can be in the VR world together as a team and have loads of fun. Their VR escape rooms are just insane, once you've done one your hooked, and there are heaps to choose from – for all ages. We go there a couple of times a month now and are always looking forward to the next visit the minute we leave."

Phil N ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Great experience, the graphics are amazing and I promise you will have loads of fun. We did 4 people for escape room which was a perfect number. One of our people is a bit unsteady on her feet but no problem she was able to sit down and didn't affect her play or the experience. The staff were great and would help us out when it was obvious we were struggling. Thoroughly enjoyable."
