In 1942, during the Second World War, Anne Frank, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family were forced to go into hiding to escape persecution from the Nazis. For more than two years, the Franks and 4 others would live in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building in Amsterdam, sharing the burden of living in hiding in confined quarters with the constant threat of discovery.

The award winning Anne Frank House VR offers a unique and emotional insight into these two years. Experience the world-famous Secret Annex in a never before seen way. Travel back to the years of the Second World War and wander through the rooms of the Annex that housed the group of 8 Jewish people as they hid from the Nazis. Immerse yourself in Anne’s thoughts as you traverse each faithfully recreated room, thanks to the power of VR, and find out what happened to the Annex’ brave inhabitants.

Profound..

This is the greatest and most intimate VR experience I have so far encountered. I really feel humbled by it. You are, for all intents and purposes IN the house and you feel that you are in a sacred space. I have actually visited the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, though many years ago, and I had largely forgotten its layout.. this incredible immersive experience is so detailed and so respectfully engineered that I do sincerely thank its makers. It is marvellous.

Fantastic!

This is truly an amazing experience. The tour is quite moving, and having visited the real house myself, I must say the VR tour is incredibly well done. The story lives forever, hoping to change people’s hearts and educate against senseles prejudice and racism. A must for everyone.

Incredible, immersive, moving

I felt I already knew the story of Anne Frank, but this brought it to life in such a new and vivid way. The lighting and sound as you move around the house, combined with the narration and diary excerpts, were amazing. Dust floats in the air as sunlight streams in through the windows and I can almost feel the heat on my skin. And as ever, the story does not have a happy ending. Very moving. Everyone needs to experience this app.

Best Non Fiction VR app available

This is a truly amazing experience. To be able to see what it was like for Ann Frank and hear her talk about what it was like while hiding was interesting and very informative. Excellent graphics and the story was told extremely well.

So well done. You could feel how confining the space was where eight people hid. I expected Nazis to burst through the door (they don't. It's not a horror game). I cried at the end. Everyone should experience this.
