Mr Pepper’s Toy ShopThe Cipher Room St PetersEscape roomIRLAn incredible experience and a really well done escape room. It wasn't an overly scary room but more creepy/spooky. The theme and room itself was extremely theatric and immersive
The SacrificeMission Escape George StEscape roomIRLWe found the puzzles quite challenging and hard. The atmosphere and story telling was really cool. Very much horror and absolutely scared the entire time so the live actors did a very good job. I am usually not the horror type but the Japanese ghost story really captivated my interest
EspionageThe Cipher Room NewtownEscape roomIRLVery easy room and puzzles but the theme was very fun. One puzzle in particular was a favourite and very clever how they executed it. A very good beginner friendly escape room for those starting out
Forest of EchoesNext Level EscapeEscape roomIRLA great room with a huge focus on the story. Less GM interaction/narration with this one compared to some other rooms from Next Level as it focused more on the story of the room itself Loved how we had control of what puzzles to work on and the puzzles were really fun. Mikayla was our GM for this one. Gave us some clues when we were stuck, just enough to give us a nudge in the right direction and letting us figure it out ourselves.
Ex LibrisNext Level EscapeEscape roomIRLWe did this room split into 2 teams versing eachother doing the same rooms parallel to each other. The staff/GM were amazing! They really got you immersed into the game and story and really made you feel part of the story! Had so much fun with the GM narrating alone. The puzzles were fun and was our first room to have non-linear puzzles.
Perpetual MotionElude Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe found Elude Escape rooms quite challenging and unlike most escape rooms/puzzles we've done and have to think out of the box a bit more than your typical ones.
Heart Of The MountainHeart Of The MountainEscape roomIRLA great experience getting to do a more adventure/story driven room rather than an escape room. They did a really good job with making it an adventure room where we were able to focus on the story at hand and not focus on any time limits. The story would proceed at a steady pace, really allowing us to enjoy the current rooms/puzzles. Still had a challenge to it and got us thinking. Steven our GM was great and giving us subtle prompts of when we were on the wrong track. Like an escape room, all puzzles/clues are used once. Very cool and highly recommended for the escape room feel with less time pressure. We did this as a group of 4 which was a good sized group.
UndetectedNarrow Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLTheme was very cool and love the popculture references. They were fairly easy puzzles but they were fun to solve! Our first digital-puzzle focused so interesting to see the variety of puzzles they created. The staff are super lovely and great!
The Show Must Go OnNext Level EscapeEscape roomIRLAnother Next Level escape room down, another amazing experience with the staff/GM! This is very much a story room and not a puzzle heavy room. I went with 4 of us, all with differing levels of experience with escape rooms (more beginners). I wanted to show them a more chill and story-driven room, with GMs who make you part of the play. You will do puzzles when prompted as the story goes on. Our GM Matt was absolutely fantastic! We almost made him break character but they were an awesome GM and made us laugh on several occasions. Puzzles are very easy but we were very much there to be involved in the story, which they did perfectly.
The Mad ScientistAdventure Rooms - Melbourne (Little Collins St)Escape roomIRLA very classic escape room with mainly key/locks/combination locks as expected for an older room. Still very enjoyable. It is one of their easier rooms so we whizzed through it with no problems. As there were so many locks, it wasn't clear which puzzles correlated to which locks for some sections which would lead us to try the same combination on several locks. This only maybe happened 2-3 times. The clue system is one where they will show clues on a screen, we much prefer other clue systems than the hands off ones (e.g. radio, voice over etc) but that's just our personal preference. Overall we did enjoy the room with all the old school locks and puzzles!
