Virtual X-Caper is a virtual play at home game. All that is required to play this game is a smartphone or computer with internet along with the Zoom application. 

Games cost £12 per person with teams up to 6 people. Teams smaller than 6 will be teamed up with other agents unless you book the slot out at a slightly reduced rate of £66. NHS workers also receive discounted tickets at £9.

This is a LIVE video escape game meaning, you will be watching through zoom via a live video feed instead of physically attending. Agent November has the latest cybernetic implants allowing you to hear & see what he does. With your help, you are required to help him escape the headquarters of Marty Orri’s and reach freedom in this mission. 

Agent November was also comedy genius! Using a large amount of humour throughout the hour escape in many different ways to keep you entertained whilst you try and help him escape. Again, this is done seamlessly without breaking character or story. 

Throughout the game, they have a silly side quest which is completely relevant at this time of quarantine. Whilst you are trying to escape, you are trying to find 5 hidden toilet rolls throughout the game. Some are obvious, some are not. We thought this was hilarious and was a great idea as a side quest whilst trying to solve puzzles to move forward. 

Virtual X-caper overall was a true masterpiece for a virtual escape room. From all the puns to the comedy, the range of the puzzles to the heavy storyline used throughout, whilst not forgetting the visual effects and excellently thought of side quest. Whilst we had no idea what to expect from an escape room through just a video feed, this definitely sets a high bar not only just in the virtual field of entertainment but, in escape rooms in general. 

We managed to escape with 57 seconds to spare and collected 4/5 loo rolls along the way! 

Virtual X-caper is pretty brand new by Agent November with it only launching a handful of days ago. We would highly recommend you check this game out and play it before lockdown ends. It is a perfect family game which can be played in one or several households. Even if you are an alone agent, you can join another team or two in the open booking slots. 

We would like to say thank you to the Agent November team for allowing us to come and review Virtual X-caper and we look forward to checking them out next time we are allowed to be in London!
