You may have heard about escape rooms, where a group of people is locked in a room for fun and they figure out puzzles to get out of it. But video game publisher Ubisoft Blue Byte is taking that a step up by creating virtual reality escape rooms, including one being announced today called Beyond Medusa’s Gate.

The VR escape room experience comes from Ubisoft’s Blue Byte studio in Germany, and it will debut at more than 100 location-based entertainment locations across the U.S. and Europe on May 7.
