This room had so much potential but very mediocre in terms of puzzles and overall theme. Whenever there’s a computer or terminal in an escape room with some tech jargon on how to start a ship or whatever else we’re already checked out (maybe a personal preference for us). We also hate when escape room companies make a small box in the room and consider it a third room. This escape room is really only two legit rooms. The final “room” is just a box that’s made to look like a ship that had a screen showing a clip from the King Kong vs Godzilla movie - super lame and corny. The puzzles are also very basic and leave you feeling so unaccomplished.

This is definitely the best in Melbourne WOW what an escape room!!! Even when you think it’s over it keeps going! And what a cool way to end the room (don’t wanna spoil it)! The puzzles flow so well we moved through the rooms easily as a group of four and two of us had never done a lot of rooms before. The first two reviews on Morty made us nervous as they said they were pushed through the rooms but we didn’t have that experience and we didn’t see any “side puzzles” the first review was referring to… all the puzzles were intentional and needed to move you through the game so don’t worry about that! I think our top two companies in Melbourne would be curium and adventure rooms!

This is our favourite escape room ever. And we have reviewed so many around the world. It makes sense why this won awards now. It truly feels like you are in a real movie and the puzzles aren’t so much lock and key it’s more interactive than that which is SO refreshing. When people reviewed this as an “experience” we were expecting to just look at things and touch things but no it’s all puzzles that require you to think which makes it so much fun. The engineers built elevators, slides, caves, waterfalls, you name it. And it feels like it never ends. The rooms keep going and going. Do not rush through it take your time because it’s not a room that you have to rush through. The game master will guide you if needed. We took a whole 90 minutes to finish it. Our game master Steve was incredibly sweet and really immersed us into the story before beginning! If you are here on travels and only have time for one escape room DO THIS ONE!!! it is so so worth it.

I want to preface this review by saying Meaghan is amazing and she really puts her heart and SOUL into helping you move through the game, she is so funny and one of the only reasons we enjoyed the game. The escape room itself is alright not really our cup of tea. The puzzles are very wordy. A lot of reading in this room which gets annoying when you’re on a time limit. It makes you want to stop playing with how much constant reading you have to do. The puzzle with the alien language we just couldn’t understand at all even after Meaghan explained it we still couldn’t understand it 😬 The rooms are small-medium sized (about 3 of them). Maybe there are better rooms at this location but we picked this one based on the reviews and left feeling meh.

Unreal room(s). We flew in from Canada and tried so many different escape rooms in Australia and have been somewhat disappointed but this one blew our expectations. This is exactly what we look for in an escape room - multi rooms - feels like it never ends and flows so well. Abandoned cabin lives up to the hype. Hyper real theme that is a real house you walk through. If you’re worried about not getting hints - don’t be - the puzzles are so logical even we were able to solve this with time to spare (and trust me we suck at escape rooms). There was only two of us and we crushed it! Book this room it’s so so worth it and shoutout to TK for being a wonderful host!

We did this room so long ago I had forgotten to review it right away but from what I do recall it was alright. There isn’t multiple rooms I believe you start in a hallway and then there’s one room you enter that you’re in for majority of the game and then you enter a box like structure in the room that’s basically the size of a closet and it leads to a final mirror room. And the puzzles weren’t necessarily enjoyable we used a lot of hints. We left feeling meh. Still a thumbs up because it’s not bad it just isn’t a stand out room for us.

PanIQ Room - West Hollywood

This was the only room we did here so maybe they have some better ones. We chose this one based on a previous review of someone stating it was their favourite.. Theme was great at this location i mean it really looks like a convenience store but the puzzles were very lack lustre and the alien speaking for hints was so difficult to understand over other sounds in the room and players speaking over each other. This room is only 2 rooms (3 if you count a small bathroom that opens in the first room) the puzzles are easy in hindsight but so it's easy to overthink and get frustrated and stuck because you just do not know where to start when you enter. And the hint system is complete garbage because either you can't hear the alien speaking or there's someone typing to give you the hint and it takes forever or they tell you a hint that you already know. We escaped with 3 minutes to spare and left utterly disappointed. I would suggest picking a different room at this location if you're looking for one to do. If I had known the puzzles and the room was only 2 tiny rooms I probably wouldn't have chosen this one. It’s not a bad room it’s just a room I’d rank at the bottom on my list of top tier escape room experiences.

I wanna start by saying the GMs were so nice and they clearly put a lot of effort into this room. However we didn’t exactly enjoy it, just want to give it our honest opinion if there’s others like us that aren’t much interested in heavily gen 1 (lock and key only) puzzle based rooms. This one is only 2 rooms. And it’s completely confusing to navigate what to do next as there are just puzzles on every wall and area and you really need at least 4 people to actually escape. The GMs created a map on the wall to follow but the map was also very confusing. We got about a little over half way through when the game ended and the gym came in to explain what the rest of the puzzles would entail and truly I think they should make this room at least 90 minutes with how much there was to do. Also when the GM started the timer he was still in the room speaking to us so at least 10 seconds had been shaved off our game time not that it would’ve made a difference in whether we escaped but it definitely made us start the game feeling a bit off.

This was our second room at this location. Pretty much the same set up as the mansion murder game - three small rooms which ends with you getting a code to put into a key pad. We had several issues in the this room. The first being the puzzle that involved the sleeping man didn’t have a key drop once we solved it because the game master hadn’t properly reset the game so they had to come back in and give us the key to continue our progress. In this time we had wasted about 10-15 minutes which I asked if we would get more time or our game would be paused and the game master said it would be but we never got more time. Then the puzzle with the dials and degrees we had matched exactly but it did not trigger the panel opening right away which took up more time. These glitches or issues with the tech should’ve been addressed by the staff which they didn’t and just continued to game. When we asked for hints she would just give us the answer (I believe this was because we were running out of time however we would’ve had more time if they had just paused our game when they came to fix the first issue).

This room was very well themed and it’s about 3 small rooms total. The puzzles were very logical but because we were told that this was there hardest room we used a lot of hints to ensure we got out on time. Expect the puzzles to be very wordy, one puzzle was matching details from three different maps (a family tree map, actual location map and a colour coded crest “map” ) so you need a lot of communication between teammates to solve most of the puzzles which can be very frustrating if you’re not with people that are locked into the game.

Definitely a gen one escape room, old style lock and key, some of the puzzles we were not the biggest fan of but this room had a very big WOW moment towards the end which we don’t want to spoil. I would rank this one as there second best room here. It had about 4 rooms total maybe 5 if you count a secret closet/storage room in one of the larger rooms. This one had also a very interesting way of receiving hints which was cool!
