Chambers Escape Games

This was our first time trying a VR (virtual reality) escape room. It was fun! There are definitely things you can do in VR that would be difficult-to- impossible to do in an in-person escape room. I was able to wear my glasses under the mask part, but if you have large frames you might need to take them off or wear contacts. The backpack part wasn't overly heavy as the chest strap helps to evenly distribute the weight. You also end up having noise cancelling headphones placed overtop so you can hear background ambiance, some music and sound effects, and your teammates clearly, and hold plastic controllers that secure to your wrists with straps that have triggers to pull so you can control your hands to pick stuff up. I get motion sickness easily but I had zero problems with the VR. We played the dragon tower room, which is a 6/10 difficulty. Having played a few other (in person) escape rooms this was easy for us and we finished with almost 20 minutes remaining. We chose the lower difficulty because we figured it might take us awhile to get used to the VR, but it was actually quite easy to manage and we would definitely pick a higher difficulty room next time. We had 4 players - 2 adults, one teen, one senior - and we all had fun. Our biggest problems were bumping into each other and having trouble manipulating objects due to lack of spacial awareness. We also did the in-person Egyptian temple escape room they have and that was 7,000 stars out of 5. Absolutely gorgeous, puzzles that were challenging but fun to figure out, and fully physically immersive. I did need to use the flashlight on my phone in a couple of places. SO much fun and if you are just doing one room that is the one I recommend. But the VR was also a lot of fun and we will probably be back to do another VR room!They will be closing soon due to lease issues and will hopefully find another location!! Until they close they have a special on their website where M-F you can get 50% off of games if you have 4 players or more. They do have Kama'aina rates. There are bathrooms available (use it before you start!), and free cups of cold water available in the lobby. On-street parking. You either have to walk up a flight of stairs or there is a (rickety, terrifying, small, but so far safe) elevator - the door closes super fast and you have to push the open door button not just try to physically hold open the door for others, but that is a fault with the building, not with Chambers Hawaii.

Such a fun escape games company (and according to the staff the only locally owned escape room company on island!) - our VR escape room was a really unique and fun experience! I've never done VR escape rooms before, but other than a few minor times when I was too close to the border of the VR room the calibration stayed consistent throughout the game! I really liked how there were a variety of different tasks that needed to be completed in the rooms. One tip is that I would recommend moving slowly when in close proximity with others to prevent injuries or hitting equipment.In terms of the staffing, our game operator was Tyler. Tyler did a great job orienting us to the equipment/VR room and making sure that we had fun during the experience!

I scheduled the live game (Egyptian) for a group of 5, none who have done an escape room before and it was a success! It was very immersive and room was well put together. We really felt transported into the scene. The game flowed very well, did not need any input from the game master. I've done other escape rooms on island and this may be one of the best put together games. Would recommend!

Absolutely a blast! Cant think of a better mom and teen son date. We love Chambers.

Fun for a group! Divide tasks & communicate.Our team succeeded & exited with time to spare.

This was so fun!! I'm not an escape room expert by any means but I've done a few.They only have one in person game, they have a couple other VR ones. We did the in person one but our game master showed us around the VR rooms and that looks really interesting too.We had Tyler as our game master, great energy he was so fun and easy to play this game with. We figured it out with 24 minutes to spare and without asking for any nudges (he gave a freebie).

This was our family's first escape game ever. My husband and I took our 2 children ages 11 and 8 to the live game, the temple. It was pretty hilarious because we were extremely clueless, especially when we first started until we slowly got the hang of it but Abby, our game guide, was there helping us throughout making our experience unforgettable. She was super sweet and amazingly patient. We were told they are making another live game and should be up and running hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Incredible VR experience! We did the dragon tower and it was awesome! I highly recommend you guys to check out Chambers Hawaii at least once if anything. You'll be hooked. We were assisted by Jade and she was super helpful and friendly. Great experience, great service, 5+ on fun and experience. Will definitely be back for the Hospital of horrors!

Yes!!!! Chambers Escape is really neat. Went with my grown kids. My son and his wife have been to many escapes rooms in different cities and walked out saying it was definitely the best one they had ever been to! Staff is friendly and helpful. Street parking was easy for us on the evening we went. Appointment started timely with good instruction. We recommend the Temple! We were helped with pictures and props in the most professional and fun manner following. Mahalo Chambers!!! We are trying to make it back for group virtual reality with our discount so thank you for that too!! #supportlocal

It's no secret that I love escape rooms, so when I stumbled upon this activity, I was most definitely intrigued. VR AND an escape game in one? A novel idea!All games are private bookings and can hold 2-5 people. I believe The Temple is the only game with a minimum of 3 people and only because you physically need 3 people to complete the tasks, not because of level of difficulty. We booked the space game and it was fairly straightforward. Like all escape rooms, you'll need to be able to communicate with your teammate(s). I don't tend to like VR because I feel like the images are never super clear. There was one instance in which I had to read some text, and it just felt super blurry to me. Our game master was pretty good at changing our batteries as needed. There was one point in which I felt like the whole ground was shaking and like I was experiencing a mini earthquake, but once my battery pack was changed out, everything went back to normal.I don't love how the business doesn't open if no one books the early morning games. They even say so themselves on the website that they'll open later if no bookings are reserved in the morning. We tried reaching out to see if they would accommodate us, but never got a response.
