About the Game



„Escape the Lab“ is a short ~30-40 minutes Virtual Reality experience of an Escape Room that focuses on realistic chemical experiments and was created by a small student team over the course of half a year.
The main concept of the game was taken from the laboratory facilities of the University chemistry faculty. With additional features, these facilities have been turned into a gamified Virtual Reality “Escape room” type experience which is based on real chemical experiments.
