VR escape room Escape The Lost Pyramid

Escape the Lost Pyramid

Welcome to the Animus!

In February 1928, an expedition group led by Sir Beldon Frye disappeared somewhere on the Sinai peninsula. Together with a dozen local porters, the team of four researchers set off in search of the lost pyramid of Nebka and whatever was hidden inside it. Nobody has ever seen them again.

With a simulation rebuilt from their DNA memories, you can slip into the roles of the missing researchers and find out what happened to the expedition. And more importantly: work out what they were looking for inside the pyramid.

In “Escape the Lost Pyramid” (Assassin's Creed Origins®), a team of 2 or 4 players has 60 minutes to work together and escape from the pyramid of Nebka. It's a legendary adventure that would be far too dangerous in real life, or even impossible to survive.

  • a special team experience for 2 or 4 people per slot (one VR headset each) (not suitable for 3 people)
  • 60 minutes of guaranteed playing time (total duration: about 80 minutes)
  • Egyptian atmosphere right in the city centre
  • a one-of-a-kind VR headset mount for maximum comfort
  • puzzle fun and team building
  • recommended average age of the group: 14 to 99 years
  • book online in comfort, pay when you get here
  • Game languages: German, English, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Portuguese
  • Fun guarantee*
  • Venue: Lange Straße 27, Nienburg (VR location, fully step-free)

Important information

*Fun guarantee!

  • If against all expectations you're not enjoying an experience within the first 10 minutes, you can stop the session and you won't pay a thing.

Virtual Reality

  • This VR escape room can only be played with an even number of people. That means you play as a team of 2 or a team of 4. If someone in a team of 4 drops out at short notice and you can't find a replacement, your game master can step in as the fourth person.
  • If you feel unwell while playing VR, take off the headset and let our team know. You can take a break at any time.
  • If heights make you anxious, we'd suggest going for one of our classic rooms instead.
  • Our comfortable VR headsets also work if you wear glasses. If your own glasses are noticeably large, we'd still recommend contact lenses for your own comfort. We also recommend comfortable shoes, loose clothing and no up-dos or headwear of any kind. Unfortunately we can't take any liability for scratches or damage to your own glasses caused by wearing the VR headset.
  • Ubisoft's VR escape rooms (Pyramid Room and Medusa Room) are only suitable for people over 150 cm with sufficient mobility.

Children & teenagers

  • Individual children aged 10 and over, for example as part of a family group, are very welcome, as long as an adult comes along. We don't recommend VR for younger children, the headsets are often too big for them.
  • For groups made up only of children between 10 and 14, please book one of our children’s offers, “Kids Special” or “VR adventure worlds”.
  • Groups of teenagers between 14 and 16 need an adult supervisor with them. From 16 upwards, no supervisor or carer is needed any more.

Discounts

  • School classes, social institutions and non-profit clubs get a 5 € discount per person if they show a matching ID when they arrive.

Cancellation

  • Cancelling up to 48 hours before your slot is free of charge. You can cancel via the link in your booking confirmation, by email or through the contact form, but not by phone.
  • If you cancel less than 48 hours before the slot, a cancellation fee of 75 € per room applies.
  • If fewer people come than the minimum number of participants of a booking requires, one room has to be cancelled by email. Alternatively you can play the booked rooms with fewer people, but you'll pay for the minimum number of participants of the booking.

Payment

  • Book online and pay at the venue (cash, card or PayPal). Payment by invoice is available for companies, institutions and school groups when needed. Private groups normally pay on site. We create it after you have played and send it by email. Paying in advance normally isn't possible, except indirectly through value vouchers, which you can buy online.
  • You can change the number of participants free of charge when you arrive, as long as it stays inside the range you booked. You then only pay for the people who are actually there. If the number falls outside the booked range, you need to tell us by email (see also cancellation).
  • Please be on time. If you're up to 15 minutes late, we don't charge anything. If you're later than that, you can choose: the full playing time for 15 € per room for every 15 minutes of lateness or part of it, or a correspondingly shorter game at no extra charge. If another group is scheduled after you or our team can't stay longer, there's no choice: however late you are, your playing time is then shortened accordingly, at no extra charge. If you're still not here 45 minutes after the start and haven't let us know, it counts as a no-show (75 € per room).

It goes without saying that we expect you sober and free of any mind-altering substances. Anyone who breaks this rule may be excluded without refund (see our terms and conditions).
