    Such an amazing and fun experience. Part escape room, part RPG, part theatre, etc. Puzzles are entertaining and creative. The only negative I could think of is that I kept forgetting what was in our inventory (I should have written it down which I did later on in the game), but that was on me just trying not to interrupt the game for a reminder (which they are more than willing to show your inventory on request like in a video game). Would gladly do another one of these anytime.

    Fun escape video game with a cute theme. Interesting combinations of puzzles (definitely have something to write with as the game doesn't have anything for note taking). Enjoyed each of the puzzles and challenges, one complaint is multiple times you start a puzzle with a set time displaying, but when that puzzle is completed you are thrown into another puzzle with its own time (or unknown time) which you may not have planned on playing for that long. The dialog is entertaining, and intros are fun, though sometime I really wish I could skip more of it.

    Great puzzle game building off the story and theme of the previous two. Little more creepy than some of the others, though fits the theme. Puzzles as always are complicated and beautiful. Ending was a bit of a surprise, definitely recommend.

    Fun computer game, glad they added the VR mode (though some tweaks are still needed). Constantly getting updates with fixes and even more free rooms. Multiple DLCs with paid rooms (though all DLCs seem to cost the same amount regardless of amount or quality of content). There are also a number of community made rooms, though sadly those don't state before you start if there is a set time to gage what you are getting yourself into by starting.

    Fun home VR game with challenging puzzles. Each level gets harder and becomes a sprint to the finish line.

    Great puzzle game. Name is misleading as its focused on puzzle boxes not entire rooms but the puzzles are beautiful and well thought out. Started out as a phone/tablet game and got remastered for PC. Love the entire series, each builds on top of the other. There is an over arching theme which is expressed through notes left for you throughout the game and its sequels.

    Great puzzle game. Builds off the first one in the series and as it should is bigger, better, and far more complex. This game actually does have rooms not just puzzle boxes and the puzzles are beautiful and complex. Definitely recommend this entire series.

    The Room series is a fantastic group of puzzle games with stunning visuals and their entry into VR is no exception. However, the VR entry is far more limited than the rest of the series. Not limited like the first game to just puzzle boxes, but more so in options. Instead of free movement, the game has a small amount of pre-determined locations for the player to teleport to. This limits the games options while also making it easier given all puzzles must be in these limited positions. The controls are reasonable, though could have been better. Though overall for the studios first VR only game it was a great entry. Would love to see another edition to The Room series games with a freer movement VR game with more complicated puzzles. This is a world I would gladly spend hours exploring in VR.

    SciFi themed escape room with a twist. Wake up with no memory and need to figure out what happened and why. Interesting puzzles and unexpected narrative lead to an interesting conclusion.

    Pretty standard Escape game. Similar to other titles by the company. You wake up not knowing why you are there and try to figure out what is going on while trying to escape. The puzzles themselves are rather short but there are a decent amount of them. Can feel a little tedious at some points when you hit a batch of multiple very short and very easy puzzles.
