Sweethearts Ice Cream ParlourThe Cool SpaceEscape roomIRLThis room was very beautifully designed with cleverly crafted puzzles. Continuing with the trend at The Cool Space, there was a twist at the end which made the room far better and more unique. There was also an extra treat at the end everyone will enjoy.
Area 1: The PortalProject Immersive Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe Project Immersive Rooms were truly unique and “immersive.” From the get go, before you even enter the facilities, the GMs are already in character, adding to the theme of a mad scientist facilities. The Portal has an interesting story, with unbelievable tech usage and cool tech puzzles I’ve never seen before.
Area 1: Nuclear EnrichmentProject Immersive Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLThe Nuclear Enrichment room at Project Immersive is a high-tech and “immersive” room, blending story telling and cool tech puzzles. The standout of the room is the stunning tech moments, dazzling displays of light and cinematic moments. This room is definitely one of my favourites in Brisbane.
IntrudersMission Escape George StEscape roomIRLThis is one of the most amazing in person experiences I have played. The tech absolutely blew my mind, and so did the cinematic live actor moments. Of course, the jump scares also greatly enhanced my experience, although I didn’t find it particularly scary. If you aren’t too scared of horror escape rooms, this is definitely one of the escape rooms that you can’t miss.
The Morrison Game FactoryPostCuriousEscape roomTabletopThis table top escape room was an extremely clever blend of storytelling and unique puzzles, integrating typical escape room ones with fun board game challenges. However, this required a lot of reading and an attachment to the story to be truly one of the best table top games we have played. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time on our hands and skipped through all the reading and story, and used hints for the puzzles which required them, so we didn’t get the full experience. Nonetheless, this was a really fun table top game.
Mrs ClawsStrange World Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI want to make this clear first, I did this room when it first opened, so it might not correlate with what the room is now, as I’ve heard it had changed drastically, so take this review with a grain of salt. Mrs Claws was a good room, with solid puzzles and ideas, but there were a few minor details it needed to brush up on. The theming was done well, with good props and cool design, and the owners did well with the little space that they had. The atmosphere of the room was solid, maintaining a creepy but not too scary feel throughout the game. The puzzles were decent, with some that were not quite clear due to the lighting (I hear they have fixed this). There were also some cool optional tasks that could improve the experience as well as some well timed jump scares. Overall, this was a solid room, which could have touched on some minor details, and I am disappointed it closed down as I wanted to play it again to see how much it had changed.
The Abandoned CarnivalPadlock'd Escape roomIRLThis room had great props and atmosphere, partly because it was once an actual carnival and Padlock’d repurposed it. The puzzles required teamwork, and had a great variety and fit to the theme.
Steampunk: Alchemist RevengeQuest RoomEscape roomIRLThis room was extremely well themed with great puzzles and a unique mechanism that I’ve never seen before. Given how it was built over seven years ago, I was surprised at how high-tech this room is.
The Flaming PearlEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLThis Chinese themed escape room was beautifully decorated and designed. The all-tech puzzles were unique and extremely cool.
