Depths of Osiris [VR]Gateway VR StudioEscape roomIRLIf you’re looking for a top-tier VR experience in Bucharest, Gateway VR Studio is definitely the spot. I played Depths of Osiris when they opened the space and it was an absolute blast. The game itself is a great mix of atmosphere and tension. You’re underwater exploring an ancient temple, and the visuals are stunning. The Puzzles: They aren't just "find a key" tasks; they are creative and require real teamwork. Some of the aquatic puzzles actually made us stop and think, but they were logical enough that we never felt stuck. The Thrills: Keep an eye out for the local sea lif the sharks definitely add a layer of "hurry up" to the puzzle-solving! The location What really makes Gateway stand out is the environment they’ve built: Staff Friendliness: The team there is incredible. They are super passionate about VR and walked us through the controls with a lot of patience. They knew exactly when to give a nudge if we were overthinking a puzzle without spoiling the fun. Cleanliness: I’m always a bit picky about sharing VR headsets, but this place is immaculate. The equipment was fresh, the play area was wide open and tidy, and you can tell they take hygiene seriously. Overall: It’s a 5/5 for me. Perfect for a group of friends in the evening.
The Parvus Box [VR]Gateway VR StudioEscape roomIRL⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Huge Fun in a Tiny World! We had an absolute blast playing The Parvus Box! The concept of being shrunk down to microscopic size is brilliantly executed and totally immersive. The puzzles were clever and really forced us to work together as a team to "get back to normal size." It’s a perfect mix of challenge and humor. The difficulty was just right (Medium), making it accessible but still rewarding, and best of all it's a great experience to do with younger family members. We went in with a few family friends & did 2 adults and 2 teens. Highly recommend this experience for groups of friends or family. Can't wait to come back for another mission. The team at the location is super friendly and helped us choose the right games on every visit.
