Virtual Reality Escape Rooms: Ingenuity, Excitement and Technology
VR escape rooms offer collaborative adventures where ingenuity and coordination are key. Barcelona has several top-notch options, such as The Lost Pyramid, a spectacular escape room set in the Assassin’s Creed universe, created by Ubisoft.
This game transports participants to an expedition in 1928 to the heart of the lost pyramid of Nebka, where players work as a team to uncover the secrets of the past.
Another option is Depths of Osiris, which consists of an underwater challenge full of tension and adventure. Dive into the deep to locate a lost temple, solve puzzles, and even face virtual sharks.
In Barcelona, you will also find other themed escape rooms that combine history, action and futurism. Beyond Medusa’s Gate takes you into Greek mythology; Cyberpunk VR offers an avant-garde, urban aesthetic; while Prince of Persia: Dagger of Time transports you to a universe of classic adventures, all with the total immersion that virtual reality allows.
Adrenaline andFear with VR Horror Experiences
For those seeking intense thrills and spine-chilling atmospheres, Barcelona offers virtual reality horror escape rooms that take fear to another level.
Among the most notable is Manor VR, an experience set in locations such as a mysterious mansion (inspired by sinister legends), where players must solve puzzles by freely interacting with everything they see, while guided by the enigmatic ‘Professor X’.
There is also Outbreak, a cooperative horror shooter where you and your team will enter a facility besieged by zombies. With free movement in the room, virtual weapons and post-apocalyptic environments, this experience offers 30 minutes of intense action that will make you feel like you are in a real video game.
Other options include Affected, in which players must escape from an abandoned house, and Trapped in the Hospital, where, as the name suggests, you have to explore these mysterious facilities and escape.

Virtual Reality Gaming in Barcelona
Barcelona offers virtual reality gaming experiences that combine cutting-edge technology with collaborative dynamics and lots of action, perfect for playing in a group or alone. The Vader Immortal allows battles of up to 12 players in Star Wars-themed scenarios, where you face Darth Vader while dodging shots and moving between obstacles.
On the other hand, with a Warhammer 40,000 licence, the Space Marine VR – Defenders of Avarax mode immerses the group in an intense cooperative combat mission. The ‘Threat: Lethal Team’ mode adds tension with timed rounds and tactical combat. For those who prefer shooter-style action, Far Cry VR offers an immersive environment on the Sunny Rook Islands, where the goal is to survive and overcome situational challenges.
Virtual Reality to Explore and Challenge the Senses
In Barcelona, it is also possible to immerse yourself in virtual reality exploration experiences, where the thrill lies not in escaping or fighting, but in discovering, contemplating and overcoming sensory challenges.
Some notable examples are Everest VR, which simulates climbing the world’s highest mountain with striking realism, and Richie’s Plank Experience, where walking on a thin plank suspended hundreds of metres above the ground tests your vertigo.
Google Earth VR also allows you to discover different corners of the world, or unwind while exploring natural landscapes in Kayak VR Mirage.
Fun for the Whole Family
Barcelona also offers several virtual reality experiences that are ideal for children, where technology becomes an ally of play and creativity. Adventures such as Engineerium let players walk through floating, dreamlike worlds. Other highlights include interactive children’s experiences such as Minecraft VR and Beat Saber, both available from Reset XR.
