Omega Mart [Immersive Art]

Cool place to explore and take in the artistic detail. Must take some photos or video while in there. If you choose to learn more of the lore in the omega mart, you can purchase a special card to access hidden secrets throughout the place. Not sure of repeat visits of the omega mart as it can be pricey for a group or family but I think it’s something unique to experience at least once. Was a fun time for us for sure.

This is not an escape room, it is an experience. Anyone who truly craves immersion will find their fill here. There is story and world building in every corner or this place...and there are many! There is a gamified system (The Boop Card) which is a wonderful addition but if you are just concerned about checking off the achievements you are missing the point. Try to plan around low volume if you can and just genuinely take the time to explore. If you are craving a mystery and a new world to experience without the constraints of an hour this is for you. No escape room can compare.

I absolutely adore the Meowwolf exhibits, I’ve been to 3 of their locations thus far (Santa Fe, Denver, and Las Vegas) and enjoyed all of them. If you’re looking for a trippy, out of body experience where you can spend hours laughing at the absurd, while enjoying thousands of art pieces uniquely designed and crafted I would highly recommend it. However, it can be an extremely overwhelming experience for a lot of people. Warnings about photosensitivity risk, vertigo, and epilepsy can be found around the exhibits. For those who can be overstimulated by sounds, crowds, lights, and other sensations, there are a number of helpful resources at the front desk. (I needed to get myself a pair of noise cancelling headphones, a fidget toy, and glasses to help with the sensations) That being said, there will be crowds. It’s unavoidable and what’s unfortunate is that, due to the location of some ‘puzzles’ and the time it takes to complete them, you find yourself waiting in lines just to get your turn finding out the information. My friend and I weren’t able to complete the storyline because we couldn’t get to all of the hints, which is very unfortunate. But we also get overwhelmed at crowds, so I know it wasn’t the fault of the storyline. I do wish that there were more kiosks so multiple mystery-solving groups could work at the same time.

Cool idea and execution. Not very interactive and several attractions didn’t work. Way too crowded. Too much reading & watching videos required to move the “boop” story. Much more “observing” than interacting and lots of waiting in line. Extra charge for bag check and the boop cards. 👎🏽

Pretty cool experience. We did purchase the employee badge which lead us on a 3 hour adventure due to the abundance of people.

It's an art installation with a story if you chose the follow the story. We enjoyed it. But it was packed with people taking pictures which did take away from the experience.

As others have said, this is immersive art. It has a story you can delve in to but the story is not very cohesive. There are a lot of things to find but with so many people going through at the same time, you see plenty of people going through the secret doors before you can actually discover them. For me I think what I needed to be engaged more with Omega Matt was an overall story objective. There were checkpoints that you could register on the ID card you can purchase for $3 but this seemed more like a scavenger hunt type of thing than any kind of real achievement. I wasn’t really solving any mystery as much as just marking off that I made it to a certain location. Maybe it was just overhyped to me and I expected too much. I just felt that the more I dug into the story the more I wondered what the heck my goal was in all of this.

It's Meow Wolf, so you know what you're in for. Are do you?

as in the brackets below the name this is just immersing art, it's still a cool experience just not meant to be an escape experience

Before I start praising this place, I just want to say that I wouldn’t personally call this a escape room. It’s more of a open-ended immersion experience/walkthrough. With that being said, Omega Mart was the HIGHLIGHT of my Vegas trip. The creators at MeowWolf were able to make an amazing world(s) feel so real and really hone in on commentary of the American grocery store and it’s consumerism. For planning your trip, I’d recommend planning about 3-4 hours to fully explore. I was there for about 4 hours and covered everything. 4 hours for sure if you want to spend time at their bar. I also recommend getting the $3 OM employee card so you can go on missions and unlock the lore of the weird store. 11 out of 10 stars and I look forward to experiencing their other permanent installations.
