Mr Pepper’s Toy ShopThe Cipher Room St PetersEscape roomIRLI'm a bit surprised by all of the hype tbh. The room was definitely very good, but perhaps I'm a bit spoilt being from Canberra where it feels like all of the rooms are a very high standard. The finale was a standout, and some of the puzzles were quite clever, but overall it didn't blow my mind.
The Medieval MishapHistory Mysteries [prev. Mini Mysteries Club]Escape roomTabletopOne of the best games around. Well crafted, immersive, funny.
Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted MansionThe Op Games │ Coded ChroniclesEscape roomTabletopA cute concept, but the puzzles were either child level easy or confusing for an adult. Having to pick up and go through five different booklets for every action felt tedious.
The VitalogistOwner UnknownEscape roomTabletopOverall wasn't impressed. I think it was better than The Stalker, but again felt unrefined and like it needs more playtesting. This company has real promise but needs to work on development a bit more.

Manor of Escape [VR]Metaphysica - TuggeraningEscape roomIRLIt was pretty fun but more challenging than expected. We needed quite a few hints.
Dragon Tower [VR]Metaphysica - TuggeraningEscape roomIRLNovel and fun concept. The first section was my favourite. I do think this room was slightly more active than advertised, in the finals section. But maybe that's just because we weren't very competent 😅
Cold CaseMissing Klues Escape Rooms [prev. Revelation Puzzle Rooms]Escape roomIRLI didn't enjoy this game as much as their others, unfortunately. It was still a good escape room, there's just a lot of great rooms around!

A Most Mysterious ConventionArcadium AdventuresEscape roomTabletopUnfortunately this was very close to 'good', but needs a fair bit more playtesting. If they refine it a bit, it could be a great game.

CurioEscape Rooms CanberraEscape roomIRLProbably the most incredible room I've ever done. Mind blowing design.
Time Travel Paradox [VR]Metaphysica - TuggeraningEscape roomIRLDefinitely fun. Had some sort of issue with the dinosaur part, not sure whether user error or a bug in the game. Otherwise it was very ingenious and novel.
Pirates - CLOSEDKingpin Canberra Cryptology Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLOverall it wasn't great. The puzzles were fun and the design was cute but was really poorly maintained, lots of things falling apart, bad lighting and disinterested staff.
Shirley's Diner [prev. Overdose] - CLOSEDMissing Klues Escape Rooms [prev. Revelation Puzzle Rooms]Escape roomIRLJust fantastic! So creative, the theme was delightful and the puzzles were so unique. The owner is moving on, but I'll always remember his brilliant game designs.
The HideawayRiddle Room CanberraEscape roomIRLI really liked the concept, and especially the set design in the first part, but gosh it was a hard room!
DoomsdayMissing Klues Escape Rooms [prev. Revelation Puzzle Rooms]Escape roomIRLCool way to use one room for two concepts. Really fun puzzles, great team, smooth flow.
