On the occasion of the Mother's Day, this Sunday, May 31, 2026, why not treat her to an escape room or an immersive experience to mix things up a little from flowers or perfumes? If you're short on ideas and want to share the moment with your mom, here's some good news! Our editors have put together a curated selection of escape rooms, virtual reality experiences and other immersive options to gift for the occasion.
Spooky escape games, chill adventures, an introduction to virtual reality, escape games for two, zombie extermination, puzzles of all kinds, sports adventure games... Something for every mom, whether you like to be scared, think things through or just enjoy the moment.
And as a reminder, whether in escape games or other immersive experiences, you have one hour (or 45 minutes in the case of VR experiences) to solve puzzles and get out of a room.
