1.8. Booking confirmations are issued via email only. Please ensure the email address provided when booking is correct.

5.4. Entermission reserves the right to refuse entry or discontinue participation where a guest is considered unfit or behaves in an abusive, dangerous, inappropriate or unsafe manner, or where their behaviour may compromise the safety, wellbeing or enjoyment of other participants, staff or property. Such decisions are at the discretion of Entermission staff. Removal from an activity for these reasons will not entitle the participant to a refund or reschedule.
5.5. Participants are responsible for considering their own physical abilities and any injuries, mobility concerns or medical conditions before participating. Some activities involve jumping, balancing, quick movements or other physical activity. Please advise Mission Control before participating if assistance may be required.

6.1. Unless otherwise stated, your booking is private and your group will have exclusive use of the booked experience for the duration of your session.

7.5. Complimentary gameplay and group photographs may be taken during your visit and provided to your group after your experience. As these photographs are complimentary, they are not guaranteed and may not be available for every booking.

Not sure of your final numbers yet? You don’t necessarily need to wait to book. For a standard experience, you can book for 2 confirmed players and reserve your private room or arena for up to 6, then add and pay for additional players closer to the date, subject to capacity.
For parties and larger group events, complete our contact form. A 50% deposit is payable within 3 days to secure the booking, with the remaining balance due one week before your event.
Late arrivals may have gameplay time reduced. If the experience can no longer reasonably be provided without affecting subsequent bookings, the booking may be treated as a no-show without refund or reschedule.
Please refer to our full Terms & Conditions for complete booking conditions.
Yes. Most glasses can be worn inside our VR headsets, so if you normally need glasses to see clearly, you can wear them during your experience.
Glasses with frames larger than 15 cm wide or 5 cm tall may not fit comfortably inside the headset. For the most comfortable experience, we recommend wearing contact lenses where possible, particularly if you have larger frames.
Our recommended minimum age for VR is 7 years. VR equipment is primarily designed for older children and adults, but we have adapted our setup to accommodate smaller players where possible. Children under 7 may have difficulty with headset fit, instructions and the immersive nature of VR, so they are not permitted to participate.
Children aged 7–9 playing Free Roam VR Escape Rooms must have a participating adult (18+) as one of the paid players. Escape rooms can be challenging for younger children, and having an adult inside the experience helps our Adventure Masters communicate, guide the team and provide assistance while still allowing the children to solve the adventure themselves.
If a child does not wish to continue during an experience, they must leave the activity and remain supervised by a responsible adult. Bookings that do not meet the age or adult-participation requirements are not eligible for a refund.
Each VR mission has an age/content rating and difficulty level to help parents choose an appropriate adventure. Some PG-rated missions may still contain scary or horror-style themes. Parents or guardians are responsible for deciding whether the selected content is suitable, and horror-themed experiences require parental consent. For children’s parties, the organising parent should ensure the other parents are aware of the type of experience the children will be playing.
BRIEFING: Firstly, you’ll be given instructions and briefed on how to navigate the virtual world.
Choose Your VR Experience: There are two ways to experience our VR escape rooms — Free Roam VR and Seated VR.
Free Roam VR Escape Rooms & Challenge Rooms: Our most popular VR experiences are completely wireless and allow you to physically walk around an arena together. The virtual space matches the physical space, so you can explore, interact and work alongside your teammates naturally in the same shared virtual world — without being restricted to one spot or separated from your team.
Seated VR Escape Rooms: For those who prefer a more traditional gaming-style experience, our Seated VR Escape Rooms are played comfortably from your own seated position. Think of gaming from home, but with the added immersion of being completely inside the virtual world.
Briefing: Before you begin, our team will explain how the equipment works, how to navigate the virtual environment and everything you need to know for your chosen adventure.
Teamwork & Problem Solving: VR escape rooms require a minimum of two players and accommodate a maximum of six players per arena or room. The technology limits each experience to six players, but this also helps create the best escape room experience. Escape rooms are designed around communication, collaboration and working together to achieve objectives. With larger teams, some players can become observers rather than active participants, which reduces their enjoyment of the game. For larger groups, we’ll divide participants across multiple arenas or rooms wherever possible so everyone can participate.
We’re There to Help: Our Adventure Masters monitor your experience from Mission Control and can see your progress and communicate with you throughout the game. If you get stuck, we’re there to provide assistance and keep your adventure moving.
Photos: Where possible, our team may take complimentary photos during or after your experience. You can also purchase a $10 group photo with a virtual background, subject to availability.
Virtual reality escape rooms combine the puzzles, teamwork and problem-solving of a traditional escape room with the immersive possibilities of virtual reality. Instead of being limited by the walls, props and physical sets of a traditional escape room, VR can transport your team into completely different worlds and environments.
At Entermission, our wireless Free Roam VR escape rooms allow your team to physically walk around and explore an arena together. The virtual space matches the physical space, so you can see and interact with your teammates, explore your surroundings, solve puzzles and work together inside the same shared virtual world.
VR also allows us to create interactive puzzles, environments and experiences that simply aren’t possible in a physical escape room — from exploring ancient temples and fantasy worlds to travelling through time or saving the planet from space.
Like a traditional escape room, VR escape rooms are all about communication, collaboration and teamwork. The difference is that instead of being limited to one physical room, virtual reality can take your next escape room adventure almost anywhere.
WIRELESS FREE ROAM VR: Our most popular experiences let your whole team physically walk around together in a wireless VR arena, where the virtual world matches the physical space. Seated VR escape rooms are also available at selected venues.
HOSTED ADVENTURES: Our trained Adventure Masters follow your journey from Mission Control, providing prompts and guidance when needed while allowing your team to discover the solutions and be the heroes of the adventure.
GROUP EXPERIENCES: We can cater for large groups by dividing players into teams and combining VR with other interactive activities available at selected venues. Contact us and we’ll help create the best experience for your group.
Escape Rooms are our signature movie-style adventures. You have up to 60 minutes to follow a storyline, explore your surroundings, solve puzzles and work together to complete your mission. Depending on the adventure, you may also need to battle enemies, overcome obstacles or race against time.
Challenge Rooms are all about fast-paced fun and action. These include our VR Challenge Rooms, Floor is Lava and Hammer Throwing, with shorter games and challenges designed to get everyone involved, working together and having fun.
For the full Entermission experience, we recommend starting with an Escape Room adventure and adding Challenge Rooms for even more action.
VR Challenge Rooms are fast-paced 10–15 minute mini-games where your team works together to complete challenges, beat levels and achieve the highest score. Become chefs racing to fill orders in Cook’d Up, battle toy soldiers, take on zombies and ghouls, or enter a futuristic Terminator-style world. With new titles added regularly, check our Challenge Rooms page for the latest games available.
Choose Your Challenges: A 30-minute session includes 2 Challenge Room games. For a 60-minute Challenge Room session, select VR Free Roam Escape Room on the booking page, then choose the Challenge Room option when selecting your game. Your 60-minute session includes 4 Challenge Room games.
Play Your Way: Choose your games when booking, but you’re not locked in. If your team loves a particular challenge, you can replay it or change your selections on the day.
Floor is Lava is a fast-paced physical challenge room where the interactive floor lights up beneath you. Think of a giant illuminated dance floor, but instead of following dance moves, you’ll jump, step and move across the tiles as you take on a series of fun mini-games and challenges.
Suitable for kids from 5 years old through to adults, Floor is Lava is energetic, competitive and a great way to burn off some energy. While larger groups can participate, we recommend a maximum of 8 players at a time so everyone gets the most from the experience.
Sessions are 15 minutes and $15 per player. As Floor is Lava is highly active, we recommend combining one Lava session with another Entermission activity for a varied experience rather than booking consecutive Lava sessions.
It’s also colourful, energetic and perfect for photos, videos and Instagram-worthy moments.
Hammer Throwing is Australia’s first immersive hammer throwing experience. Armed with a physical Viking-style hammer, you’ll throw at interactive projected targets in your own dedicated challenge room lane.
Similar to darts, accuracy counts — but the projected screen transforms the target for different games and challenges. Scores are tracked on a tablet so you can compete against friends or work together as teams, with games including a fun interactive version of Tic-Tac-Toe.
It combines the satisfaction of hitting a physical target with interactive technology, competition and plenty of opportunities for bragging rights.
Our venues operate based on bookings, so opening hours may vary depending on scheduled sessions.
To avoid disappointment, we strongly recommend booking online in advance. If you’re planning to visit without a booking, please call the relevant venue before arriving to confirm availability.

Please note, if you are booking less than 2 hours before the start time, you will need to contact the appropriate venue directly:
Sydney CBD: (02) 9267 3873
Burwood: (02) 9440 8502
If you’re prone to motion sickness, we generally recommend our Free Roam VR experiences. Because you physically walk around the arena and your movement in the virtual world closely matches your movement in the real world, many players find this more comfortable than VR experiences that use artificial movement.
If you prefer a Seated VR Escape Room, we recommend choosing one of our controller-based missions that uses teleportation rather than continuous virtual movement, which may help reduce the likelihood of motion discomfort.
Everyone responds to VR differently, so if you begin to feel unwell at any time, simply let your Adventure Master know and we can pause or stop your experience.
Yes, many of our VR experiences can be adapted for players with limited mobility or who use a wheelchair. Accessibility varies by venue, so please contact us before booking to discuss your requirements. Burwood offers full wheelchair access, while accessibility at other Entermission venues may be limited by stairs or building access.
For Free Roam VR experiences, players with limited mobility can request a chair and participate seated. Wheelchair users may also be able to remain in their wheelchair and use a controller to interact with the virtual environment. As the player’s virtual height is determined by the headset position, a seated player’s avatar may appear shorter, but they can still participate and work with their team to complete the adventure.
Different experiences require different levels of movement, vision, hearing and interaction, so please contact us before booking if anyone in your group has specific accessibility requirements. Our team can recommend the most suitable experience and explain any adjustments we can make.
Yes, you’re welcome to visit Entermission before booking. However, as our venues operate based on bookings, please contact us in advance so we can arrange a suitable time. If you arrive without arranging a visit, the venue may not be open, or during busy periods our team may not be available to provide a tour.
Even better, consider booking a short activity such as Floor is Lava or a VR Challenge Room game. It’s a fun and affordable way to experience Entermission for yourself, see the venue in action and get a taste of our VR technology before planning a larger booking or event.
If you would still prefer to visit before booking, please call or email us first so we can let you know when the venue is open and whether our team is likely to be available to assist you.
Absolutely! Entermission experiences are designed to be social, interactive and memorable, making them great for birthdays, hens and bucks events, corporate groups, team building and other celebrations.
For larger groups, we can combine different experiences and organise teams and session times to help create an event that suits your group. Sydney CBD also has party tables available, subject to availability, which can be used alongside your booked activities.
For parties and group events, we recommend completing our contact form rather than booking individual sessions online. Let us know your group size, preferred date and the type of event you’re planning, and our team can check availability and recommend the best combination of activities for your group.
We want everyone to have the best possible experience at Entermission. If anyone in your group has additional or behavioural needs, sensory sensitivities, limited mobility or a medical condition, please let us know before your visit so our Adventure Masters can be prepared to provide appropriate support.
We regularly welcome autistic and neurodivergent children and adults. Every person is different, so information about communication preferences, sensory sensitivities, known triggers or anything else that may help is always appreciated. This allows our team to adapt their approach wherever reasonably possible and help make the experience comfortable and enjoyable.
If you have epilepsy or a history of photosensitive seizures, severe motion sickness, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress, heart conditions, or another condition that may be affected by virtual reality or immersive environments, we recommend seeking medical advice before participating.
Being pregnant or elderly does not automatically prevent participation. Some experiences involve walking, quick movements or physical activity, while others can be played seated. Please consider your individual circumstances and contact us before booking if you’re unsure which experience would be most suitable.
You can stop an experience at any time if you feel uncomfortable or unwell.
