    It’s a great game from start to finish that continues to develop the Area 1 lore. Project Immersive are funny, witty and, as their name suggests, immersive. Can’t recommend enough!

    Adore the immersion from start to finish and the way the team capitalised on their space. Can’t wait to see what they do next!

    Spooky, immersive and impressive. A game that slowly builds in tension and theming. I wish I could play it twice!

    This is one of Indestroom’s finest escape games, and Padlock’d deliver it in a great sequence of rooms. The central board game element is a bunch of fun to manipulate and the wide puzzle spread has something for everyone.

    So cheeky and fun! Our big group loved this, might organise a hens here for this room, it’s too much fun to pass up! A unique spin on escape rooms, for sure — but the puzzles and fun props work together for a very raunchy and memorable experience.

    The humorous elements somewhat work for this game, but the props need updating, and some puzzles don't feel user-friendly or particularly enjoyable. The game would benefit from additional cluing and iteration — if a GM mentions that almost everyone needs a hint for a specific puzzle, it indicates that the puzzle requires revisiting to provide better cluing toward the solution.

    Let me start by acknowledging that Padlock’d has made a significant impact on the Gold Coast escape room scene over the years. Their introduction of Indestroom games has transformed many newcomers into dedicated escape room enthusiasts, with some having gone on to play dozens of games. Personally, their early rooms were what sparked my own interest in escape rooms. ‘Paradise Prison’ has some enjoyable puzzles, and the set design is good, but the gameplay could use further refinement. There isn’t a clear starting point, and players can bypass two puzzles in the first room. Additionally, one puzzle’s effectiveness is hampered by the specific prop used. As a result, ‘Paradise Prison’ feels more like a collection of puzzles with a prison theme rather than an immersive prison escape experience. This isn’t to say the puzzles themselves are bad — a few are actually quite enjoyable — but the connection between the puzzles and the in-game world doesn’t quite hit the mark. It feels like the design lessons from Padlock’d’s earlier rooms haven’t been fully applied here. Every puzzle should have a purpose, clear guidance for the players, and a logical fit within the game’s narrative and world. Just like with their other recent room, ‘The Crystal Mine’, there’s room for improvement. If the Game Master mentions that all groups struggle with the same puzzles, that’s usually a sign that adjustments are needed to reduce the reliance on hints. I know this review is lengthy, but it’s only because I care. Padlock’d has the expertise to elevate these rooms from good to great. I hope they take into account the typical player’s experience and continue refining their games to become standout examples in the Gold Coast escape room industry. The rooms are visually appealing, and a few of the puzzles in ‘Paradise Prison’ work well as they are.

    This game feels outdated with red herrings, leaps of logic, and no signs of iteration. While there are some fun puzzles, it desperately needs prop updates and a change or overhaul of certain puzzles and their signposting to modernize the experience and make it enjoyable throughout. The GM said one puzzle just requires time and guesswork with no logic to the sequence… it doesn’t make for a satisfying experience.

    Puzzled Room Escape

    I played this a few months ago. During the briefing, the GM rolled her eyes and sighed because a team already in a room asked for another clue. This did not create a supportive environment for asking for clues and leaves a poor impression on new players, implying that asking for hints is discouraged. Unfortunately, in a place like Puzzled, where the puzzles are often vague or disconnected, hints are necessary. The cluing for this game was minimal, and some puzzles felt impossible to solve without the GM's hints. Iteration would greatly improve the room. Partway through the experience, the radio stopped working, and a teammate had to leave the room and go to reception to replace it. The two-team mode might be interesting since it’s not a head-to-head experience but rather follows the other half of the story — that of the monkeys. Unfortunately, we didn’t see anyone in the other room, so we don’t know what it looked like. The theming was interesting, and some of the puzzles were thematic and enjoyable, but I wouldn’t recommend this game as it is. With a revision of the puzzles to enhance player enjoyment, I believe this game has potential.
