I thought it was a great immersive experience. There were parts at the beginning when I could not tell what was real and what wasn’t. The incorporation of VR was fun, and then the surprise at the end was fun and got all of us talking and thinking.... full review

Great little idea. Wish I had thought of it! Good merging of VR and immersive theater and whimsy. Perhaps too little for too much $$ though.... full review

Been waiting for 20 minutes past our show to start. Not going to lie. It’s a bit lame. ... full review
