📞 Call to BookVR locks you in a headset and cuts you off from the world around you. Augmented Reality is completely different. You still see your surroundings — the floor, your group, the space you're standing in. The holographic world simply appears on top of reality.
Walk freely. Interact with your friends. Experience breathtaking worlds with virtually zero motion sickness — in over a thousand guests we've had just one reported case. AR keeps you grounded in reality, so your brain never gets confused.
Designed for ages 7 and up, the experience is comfortable, accessible, and appropriate for the whole family. Powered by Verse Immersive and Snap Spectacles AR glasses — the only experience of its kind in Northeast Florida.

No — this is Augmented Reality, a fundamentally different technology. You wear lightweight AR glasses that layer holographic content over your real surroundings. You can still see the room, the floor, and your friends the entire time.
No. Motion sickness in VR happens because your brain loses its reference to the real world. With AR you always see your actual surroundings, so your brain stays oriented. The vast majority of guests experience zero discomfort.
Up to 10 guests can experience the AR room at the same time. Everyone wears their own glasses and goes on their own individual adventure — what one person does has no effect on anyone else. You each explore at your own pace, which makes it great for mixed groups.
The AR experience is recommended for ages 7 and up for two reasons — the glasses may not fit smaller children properly, and since each guest is on their own independent adventure, younger kids may find it harder to follow along without guidance. Children under 13 should be accompanied by an adult. Our escape rooms are appropriate for all ages — kids under 6 are always free.
We strongly recommend advance booking, especially on weekends. The AR experience and escape rooms use separate booking systems — use the AR booking link for Verse Immersive and our escape room booking page for traditional rooms.
