The WhatsNext verdict
Escape from Mandrillia is a standout choice for groups who want a weird, tense VR party game that generates stories immediately. Bring friends and a headset, and its asymmetric monkey hunt is far more memorable than its modest presentation suggests.
What it does best
A brilliantly chaotic asymmetric party game
Spooky tension with a playful edge
VR interactions that feel unusually satisfying
