The Immersive Entertainment Venue Time Mission Is Opening This Month and Offering a Free Grand Opening Weekend

PhilLy’s immersive entertainment scene is about to level up. Time Mission, a fast-paced, team-based adventure experience, will officially open its doors at 1530 Chestnut Street on Friday, October 17, 2025. This marks Pennsylvania’s first Time Mission location and the third major venue launched in the city by LOL Entertainment, which also operates Sandbox VR and Museum of Illusions.

To celebrate its Philadelphia debut, Time Mission is offering complimentary admission during its opening weekend, October 17–19. Free tickets will be available starting Wednesday, October 8, at noon via TimeMission.com/philly on a first-come, first-served basis. Standard admission, starting at $34.95, will become available to the general public at noon on Thursday, October 9.

Time Mission blends physical and mental challenges into an immersive adventure that unfolds across 25+ unique portals, transporting teams through the past, present, and future. Groups of two to five players earn points by cracking codes, dodging lasers, solving riddles, and completing hands-on challenges—all while racing against the clock.

The experience is designed to test teamwork, problem-solving, and quick thinking, offering a high-energy alternative to traditional gaming or escape rooms.

“As Philadelphia continues to grow as a center for immersive entertainment, we’re excited to expand our offerings,” said Rob Cooper, CEO of LOL Entertainment. “We’ve seen a shift in how people seek entertainment, choosing adventures that foster connection and excitement. Time Mission will be a thrilling addition, combining team play with time-traveling challenges.”

LOL Entertainment has established itself as a leader in interactive, location-based entertainment. Beyond Sandbox VR and Museum of Illusions, the company also operates Cluville Kids Escape Room in Scottsdale and is expanding with new Sandbox VR locations in Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and Houston.
