Q: How many players can take part in Mission Sigma VR?

Mission Sigma VR is designed for groups of 2 to 4 agents. As this is a high-precision military tactical operation, communication, timing coordination and dividing up the computer tasks are vital to hack the terminals and defuse the missile in time.

Q: What difficulty level does the room have?

Mission Sigma VR has a moderate difficulty of 5 out of 10. The puzzles are not excessively complex on their own, but they require very fluid communication between the two tactical agent rooms to deactivate the security cores in parallel. It's ideal for beginners and for regular escape room fans.

Q: What is the minimum recommended age to play?

The recommended age for agents is 10 or over. The military theme is immersive action, with no gory scenes, terrorists or sudden jump scares, so it's a room that is perfectly suitable for families and for the birthdays of young agents.

Q: Is Mission Sigma VR scary?

Not at all. It's a simulation of espionage, bomb disposal and tactical hacking in the style of a military action film. The tension in the game comes solely from the warhead's timer, without resorting to horror elements, extreme darkness or sudden jump scares.

Q: How is it different from a conventional escape room?

Unlike a traditional room, the virtual reality of Mission Sigma puts you at the top of a military skyscraper, operating interactive holographic computer terminals and cutting the wires of magnetic detonators. This is completely impossible to recreate safely in a traditional escape room made of wood and papier-mâché.

Q: How much does the experience cost?

Prices start from €24.50 per person for 1 hour and from €48.50 per person for 2 hours, and may vary depending on the day, the time and the size of the group. For groups and celebrations — birthdays, stag and hen parties, companies or friends — there are packs from €315 for up to 8 people.

Q: Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, it's highly recommended: afternoons and weekends fill up. Online booking is for 2 or more people; without a booking, or if you come on your own, you can just turn up and, if there's a free slot, you play. You can choose the adventure beforehand or decide when you arrive, as you prefer: you don't need to decide when booking. We send you the confirmation by email and it usually takes a couple of minutes. More on this: Write to us if you have any questions

Question 1

Answer

Mission Sigma VR is designed for groups of 2 to 4 agents. As this is a high-precision military tactical operation, communication, timing coordination and dividing up the computer tasks are vital to hack the terminals and defuse the missile in time.

Question 2

How long does the Mission Sigma VR experience last?

Answer

The countdown to defuse the military warhead has a time limit of 60 minutes of play. The full session at our venue in Barcelona (which includes reception, the tactical safety briefing, fitting the Quest 3 VR headsets and the debrief with photos of the victory) lasts approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes in total).

Question 3

What difficulty level does the room have?

Answer

Mission Sigma VR has a moderate difficulty of 5 out of 10. The puzzles are not excessively complex on their own, but they require very fluid communication between the two tactical agent rooms to deactivate the security cores in parallel. It's ideal for beginners and for regular escape room fans.

Question 4

What is the minimum recommended age to play?

Answer

The recommended age for agents is 10 years or older. The military theme is immersive action, with no gory scenes, terrorists or sudden jump scares, so it is a room that is perfectly suitable for families and for the birthdays of young agents.

It is not scary at all. It is a simulation of espionage, bomb disposal and tactical hacking in the style of a military action film. The tension in the game comes only from the warhead's timer, with no horror elements, extreme darkness or sudden scares.

Question 6

Answer

Unlike a traditional escape room, the virtual reality of Mission Sigma puts you at the top of a military skyscraper, operating interactive holographic computer terminals and cutting the wires of magnetic detonators. Recreating this safely would be completely impossible in a traditional escape room made of wood and papier-mâché.

Question 7

How do we collaborate when split into two teams?

Answer

The agents will operate on two parallel network servers. The only way to deactivate the warhead's reactor is to describe in detail what you see on your terminals and follow the military protocols that the other side must decipher and activate in their assault control systems. The headsets' built-in microphone keeps you on a constant open channel.

Question 8

What happens if my team fails to defuse the warhead in time?

Answer

The tactical operation has two virtual outcomes. If the timer reaches zero before the reactor is stabilised, the nuclear missile will be launched inexorably towards the target city, resulting in mission failure and the end of the tactical simulation session.

Question 9

How much does the experience cost?

Answer

The rate is from €24.50 per person for 1 hour and from €48.50 per person for 2 hours, and it may vary depending on the day, the time and the size of the group. For groups and celebrations —birthdays, stag and hen parties, companies or friends— there are packs from €315 for up to 8 people.

Question 11

What does the virtual reality experience include?

Answer

The session includes the use of standalone Meta Quest 3 headsets (no cables or heavy backpacks), individual play-height calibration, built-in positional audio headphones and the briefing from your Game Master, exclusively for your session.

Question 12

Where are you located and how do I get there?

Answer

We are at C/Viladomat 95, Barcelona (Eixample). The easiest way is to come by metro: Rocafort (L1), Urgell (L1), Sant Antoni (L2) or Poble Sec (L3), all about ten minutes' walk away. By bus, line V9 has a stop right opposite Virtua, and there are more lines along Gran Via and Sepúlveda. See on Google Maps More about this: See the map and address

Question 13

Is there parking near the venue?

Answer

We don't have our own car park, but there are two public ones a couple of minutes' walk away: BSM Urgell and SABA Eixample. With a large group, the metro works out better. More about this: See the map and address

Question 14

Can I do the mission if I wear prescription glasses?

Answer

Yes. The Meta Quest 3 headsets have enough room to be used with the vast majority of prescription glasses without discomfort. If yours are very large, contact lenses are more comfortable. More about this: Everything you'll be wondering about

Question 15

Does virtual reality cause motion sickness in players?

Answer

It happens to some people. The catalogue is chosen so that it doesn't: titles that move the camera for you, which are the ones that cause the most discomfort, are avoided. If you notice anything, the session can be stopped at any time. More about this: What happens to the body

Question 16

What technology and virtual reality headsets do you use?

Answer

We use Meta Quest 3 headsets: they are wireless, with no cables and no computer, and they track your movements, so you move freely in your 3×3 m box. We provide the headphones ourselves to improve immersion. More about this: What virtual reality is

Question 17

How is VR different from a conventional screen video game?

Answer

In a video game you look at a screen and use a controller. In VR you're inside the game: you turn your head and see the world around you, you really walk and you use your hands to interact with objects. Your brain processes the virtual environment as if it were real — that's why the adrenaline, the laughs and the immersion are incomparable. It's the difference between watching a film and starring in it. More about this: It's not a video game: you're inside it

Question 18

Do you offer services for companies, team building or birthdays?

Answer

Yes. Birthdays, stag and hen parties, team building and friends and family: each occasion has its own page, with its three packs and what each one includes. And corporate events are normally held at other venues: we bring virtual reality there.

Question 19

What are the venue's opening hours?

Answer

We are open every day, from 11:00 to 21:00, except 1 January. The last one-hour session starts at 20:15 on weekdays and at 19:45 at weekends; for group packs it is earlier, and each pack lists its own time slots. More about this: Opening hours and contact

Question 20

Can I buy gift vouchers to give the experience as a present?

Answer

Yes, with a gift voucher: one hour of virtual reality for one person, any day at any time. It costs €29.50 per ticket, is valid for 6 months and reaches you by email straight away. It cannot be used for group packs.
