Motel Of MadnessScram Escape Rooms Macquarie ParkEscape roomIRLCompleted room with 3 people. There was a good mix of puzzles and was non-linear, mostly number and letter locks in the room but everything flowed well. We got a little stuck on one part because we weren’t sure where to use a clue we found, but in the end finished with about 12 mins to spare. Overall, we enjoyed the room!
The Hidden TempleNarrow Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLCompleted this room in around 65 mins with two people. It was a very immersive room with unique puzzles. We loved that it had no padlocks and all the puzzles were on theme. A couple of puzzles stumped us for a bit but we managed to get through the room without any clues. It was a very satisfying experience, highly recommend!!
Blackwood ManorEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLCompleted this room in about 36 mins with 4 people. It wasn’t too scary which we appreciated, just some supernatural spooky vibes. The puzzles flowed very well and all made sense, which made for a very smooth experience. It was very fun and we enjoyed all the puzzles. Would recommend!!
Retro RevengeEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people just under the time limit. We did the “hard” version which was very fun as it challenged us to think more. We chose not to have a live actor as we don’t usually go for horror rooms, but it was creepy/spooky without being terrifying. We enjoyed the puzzles a lot - there were some very unique ones and many references to horror movies, so would be particularly fun for horror fans. We got stuck at the very beginning but once we got into the flow of things the pace picked up a bit and the puzzles felt pretty intuitive. Overall an enjoyable experience, would recommend, especially to horror lovers.
The Magic MoonstoneEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people in under 35 mins. The room was very big and spacious which made it easier to explore the room and work on puzzles together. It was multilinear so we had plenty to do during the time. Really fitting puzzles and everything flowed well and made sense. Love the aesthetics of the room. Would highly recommend!
The Abandoned CarnivalPadlock'd Escape roomIRLVery fun! Completed the room with 4 people in about 46 mins. The carnival theme was great and the decor/puzzles were very fitting. I really enjoyed this one!
Mad MonsterLost LocksEscape roomIRLCompleted this room in around 30 mins with 4 people. It was a little spooky but not too scary which was great for us. Note that you are handcuffed the whole time (which was immersive but a little cumbersome at times, though the game master told us at the beginning we could take it off if needed). It definitely added to the experience so we quite enjoyed it. The puzzles were interesting and half of it could be played sitting down with us being able to stand up and explore in the second half. The game master was great (sorry didn’t catch her name). The only gripe would be that it was a bit short as we finished with half the time remaining but it would be great for teams with less experience.
Buccaneers BountyLost LocksEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people in less than half an hour. Simple but fun room to start with, it had some good puzzles and flowed well. Would recommend for first timers!
R18Lost LocksEscape roomIRLThis was a fun one to end on as we played 3 rooms in one day. We completed this room with 4 people in under 30 mins. It was a bit cheeky and we all enjoyed it though we finished it a bit too quickly. A big shoutout to Ryan, the manager, who was super friendly and chatted to us throughout the day. It was great talking to him about everything escape rooms!
OrphanageQuest RoomEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people just over the time limit. It was a well designed room and felt very immersive. It was quite spooky but no live actors/jump scares which we were thankful for. Some puzzles took a bit of extra thinking and trial and error to get but overall it was a fun room with puzzles that fit the narrative. Would recommend, especially if you enjoy a scare!
Steampunk: Alchemist RevengeQuest RoomEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people just under the time limit. Really enjoyed this room, especially the “steampunk” aesthetic and the puzzles. The puzzles were very fitting and the mechanisms were very cool. There was no padlocks in this room at all and everything flowed very well. One of my favourite rooms in Brisbane, would highly recommend!!
SherlockedQuest RoomEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 4 people in around 45 mins. It was a fun room with innovative puzzles that worked well. There was just one puzzle that tripped us up a little as it referred to something earlier in the room (without giving away anything), so make sure you read everything carefully! Really enjoyed this room, would recommend!
The BunkerFox in a Box - BowralEscape roomIRLWe completed The Bunker room with 2 people with 15 seconds to spare! It was a fun room with a lot of puzzles to complete. All the puzzles flowed well and fit the theme; we particularly enjoyed how the clues were given as they fit the theme as well. Lucy was an excellent game master and we liked how she gave us nudges to guide us. She was very friendly and positive. Overall, a great experience!
Life SentenceFox in a Box - BowralEscape roomIRLWe completed this room with 2 people. We really enjoyed how there very some very creative puzzles and all the elements fit the story. The beginning had us separated in different cells and we had to work together to get out. We started off a bit slow but found our groove in the second half and just managed to escape. Overall, a fun escape room and can’t wait to go back and try another one!
The InheritanceNarrow Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLWe completed this room with 4 people in around 40 minutes. It was a very fun room and had a range of different puzzles with some puzzles we’d never done before. It was a multilinear room so there was always something for everyone to work on. Overall, a really enjoyable and satisfying room with a good flow and excellent gameplay. Our GM Jacinta was friendly and clear with her instructions. She was very passionate about escape rooms and we had a great chat about the different escape rooms we’d experienced.
LaunchNarrow Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLCompleted this room with 2 people with 3 mins to spare. Really liked the range of puzzles and flow of the gameplay. It was a well-thought out room and had some fun references. The game master Andre was great and his hints were more directing our attention to something rather than giving us any answers or explaining how to solve a puzzle. Really enjoyed the room and would recommend!
ZenLabyrinth Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLCompleted “Zen” room with 2 people. Very interesting concept and a bit different from other escape rooms that we’ve done. It was a little difficult for us to start but was okay after we got into the rhythm of things. Very creative puzzles that we haven’t seen before. There were some technical difficulties which detracted from the experience a little as we didn’t know whether we had successfully solved the puzzles at times but our GM kindly kept us informed and let us know when we were on the right track. Oliver was a great game master, very friendly and clear in his instructions. Overall a great first visit and can’t wait to try the other rooms!
Project DeltaCubic Escape RoomEscape roomIRLWe completed this room with 2 people. It was a longer room with a 90 minute time limit and we did end up escaping but took a minute over the time limit. There were some really creative and tricky puzzles that were interesting/very smart (once we figured out how they worked). Some parts were a bit challenging or we weren’t sure what we were supposed to do next. A couple of the puzzles were a bit confusing as we weren’t sure if we were on the right track/there wasn’t an indication of whether we were getting close or not. As we were rushing to complete the puzzles we didn’t fully understand the narrative until after escaping but it was definitely a well thought out storyline with a lot of attention to detail.
UnstoppableMission Escape George StEscape roomIRLWe completed this room with 4 people in around 72 mins (for an 80 min game). It was a very unique concept and had fantastic set designs. Gameplay and puzzles flowed well and I enjoyed the different rooms. The puzzles were all mechanical and all fit the narrative; we really enjoyed the cooperative puzzles. Overall, a fun room and would definitely recommend!
TrappedMission Escape George StEscape roomIRLWe completed the room with 4 people. It was an interesting concept with cool mechanisms and effects. The puzzles were unique and most of the gameplay flowed well. One thing that could be improved is the aesthetics of the room as it was pretty bare and took away from the immersive-ness of the room a little. Other than that, a fun room overall!
