Bank Heist 2.0Escape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLA perfect take on this classic escape room theme. Exciting and adrenalin filled finish to this room!
The Legend of Captain NemoEscape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLLoved this room. From the moment you enter to the moment you leave you are totally immersed. The steampunk submarine is perfect, the narrative carries you along and the sound and lighting are exactly as I’ve come to expect from Escape This. Epic!
High NoonEscape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLWestern escape rooms are a well used theme but are very rarely well done. High Noon is the exception and is just excellent. Solid theming, highly atmospheric, fun gameplay, great narrative and unusual puzzles to solve … highly recommend this room!
Buried AliveEscape This - Perth, NorthbridgeEscape roomIRLThis is a terrifying experience. So well done - blindfolded, handcuffed and then sealed in a locked coffin this escape room is perfectly executed. Scary and good fun in equal measure but not for the feint of heart.
Lost TombEscape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLFelt like an Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider adventure. The pyramid is set in a huge space with set pieces and props that match the scale of the space and the story. This isn’t just an escape room - it’s an adventure! The narrative is seamless, with a storyline that pulls you into the world you’ve entered. Escape This have smashed it out of the park again, wish I could forget it just to play it again!
The Forgotten ArcadeOtherWorld HQEscape roomIRLGreat concept - amateur execution. I was looking forward to this room but left disappointed. Worn out and broken props, tired and basic set design - maintenance and upkeep is as important as installation, come on people! The arcade machines look good, the entry to the ‘secret’ areas is clever and the gameplay was sort of fun but nothing special. I don’t think it would be suitable for more than two players. Overall an okay room with some interesting ideas, but lazy upkeep and basic set design diminish the experience. Somewhat baffled by the terpeca award nomination.
The Flaming PearlEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLOverall a good room - interesting puzzles made for interesting gameplay but it didn’t feel particularly immersive. Throughout the gameplay it felt like we were solving puzzles adjacent to a shopping centre rather than being transported into the world of their story.
Paradise PrisonPadlock'd Escape roomIRLSolid game. Simple but immersive set - pretty much everything made sense to the story. There was one exception to this with a janky and unnecessary use of tech but overall enjoyed this room.
The SpeakeasyAdventure Rooms Adelaide - Escape Rooms and BarEscape roomIRLLots of fun, great puzzle flow that fit the storyline. Big space to progress through which added to the enjoyment.
The Chamber of Lost LegendsFox In A Box AdelaideEscape roomIRLEnjoyed this room, a few kinks in the puzzle flow but overall good fun.
Dr. Frankenstein [prev. Transfusion]The Great Escape Klemzig [prev. Escaplex]Escape roomIRLDidn’t enjoy this room at all. Puzzles for the sake of puzzles, no consistency with the story line. Frustrating and boring. They seem to have been carried away with the cleverness of their cryptic puzzles and technical expertise forgetting entirely to inject atmosphere, gameplay, story and fun into the room.
Mission Metropol - CLOSEDMindshift Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLNice set, but fragmented puzzle flow that didn’t make sense with worn out props that should have easily been replaced. This would have been a great room 10 years ago - but escape rooms have evolved.
The CovenantEscape Manor BrisbaneEscape roomIRLIf only they invested the same thought and effort in their rooms as their reception. Tired, unimaginative sets, bashed and battered props … escape rooms can and should be better than this.
End of DaysEscape Games Melbourne - Escape Room MelbourneEscape roomIRLMom & Pop style. Very basic set and minimal tech but the gameplay was fun - but not sure it is suited to anymore than 2 people. Very small footprint.
The Lost TombDoctor Q Escape RoomEscape roomIRLBig space and loads of potential for what should have been a really good expereince but …. Terrible puzzle flow, tragic tech, zero atmosphere and just downright dangerous - I doubt this has ever had any sort of health and safety oversight.
EntombedEscape This - Perth CBD, Hay Street MallEscape roomIRLWow, just wow! No wonder this room won a Morty award - best escape room I’ve done in Perth. Atmosphere, storyline and magical reveals. If I could forget this room I would - just so I could play it all over again!
AsylumEscape This - Perth, NorthbridgeEscape roomIRLThis room is creepy, fantastic use of sound and lighting to keep the tension high.
