The home of cutting-edge free-roam virtual reality experiences, Sandbox VR is perfect for ensuring you get quite a fright this Halloween. Hollywood motion capture cameras, 3D precision body trackers, and custom hardware on haptic suits transport you to the world of their Deadwood series - three instalments of zombie experiences, where you'll defend against the hoards using your chosen arsenal.
@ Mr Fogg's Society of Exploration on Various dates from Saturday 6th December 2025
At Navrtar, they have a whole host of scary VR experiences for you this Halloween. Get ready for Contagion Origins, which sees you descend into a zombie shooting adventure, trying to figure out the source of a deadly virus, or the haunting game of Ghost Power (our favourite) and The Day After - in this last one, you'll explore a haunted village and come head-on with a zombie onslaught.
@ Alcotraz Penitentiary: London on Various dates from Saturday 6th December 2025
Go behind bars this Halloween and don a dashing orange jumpsuit with tickets to Alcotraz London: Cell Block Two-One-Two. The immersive, prison-themed bar brings you theatrical entertainment inspired by Hollywood and TV shows and requires you to smuggle your own liquor in past the Warden, in order to enjoy bespoke cocktails whipped up by inmates.
Explore a post-apocalyptic Arizona in your search for survivors at DNA VR Battersea, Camden or Hammersmith. Danger lurks around every corner in the form of infected zombies, so you''ll have to get your hands on all kinds of weaponry.
Prepare to enter a castle of secrets and shadows at The Traitors Live Experience, where the drama is as thick as the cobwebs. Take your seat at the Round Table and find out if you're a Faithful… or a Traitor. With dark wood interiors, moody lighting, and velvet-draped chambers, the atmosphere is pure Halloween suspense.
Solve cryptic puzzles, plot betrayals in the shadows, and vote on your fellow players' fates. The in-house bar, The Cloak & Dagger, serves up haunting Halloween cocktails like the Killer Clown, complete with candy floss and spooky flair, so you can toast to your treachery (or survival) after the game.
