Game Of The DragonRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLThe room was themed beautifully, however the lack of linear puzzles left us trying to figure out what we were meant to do next often. A few puzzles are absolute time eaters, especially when you’re a smaller group (we were just 2). We lost quite a bit of time due to an item that was attached via carabiner- when we have done other rush escapes they have told us to treat it as a chain link and that undoing the carabiner would be considered cheating, after about 10 minutes we radioed to ask if we were allowed to detach it, and of course we were. No puzzles were particularly hard, they were just hard to find.
HacksawRush Escape Game - HawthornEscape roomIRLA fun room with an interesting start! There were some issues with a look being attached to a carabiner (in the brief they mention carabiners are there for safety but to be treated like a chain) which ended up costing time as we tried to figure out what else needed to be done before radioing and being told it was an accident. There are multiple disconnected puzzles that come together in the end, that can sometimes mean you don’t know where you’re going with the clues you’ve found. Probably more fun for bigger groups!
The Medieval QuestThe Mystery Rooms - MelbourneEscape roomIRLQuite a fun little room! The set was nice, particularly the third room. Some time eater puzzles, but that’s part of the challenge! Got stuck once, with information that felt a bit disconnected from what it was meant to work with. There did seem to be some elements that were red herrings, but they only momentarily distracted us.
Its NightmareRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLGood fun! A pretty straight forward room for the most part. The starting hallway genuinely freaked me out, unfortunately that fear didn’t continue. We got stuck once or twice but managed to figure it out with no clues

ClockworksEscapeXperienceEscape roomIRLThe theming was cool but could lend itself to being so much more interesting, not actually having the room “travel in time” was a missed opportunity. Some of the puzzles didn’t quite work, particularly a shadow one that was illegible. This room being the most difficult doesn’t quite make sense, the burlesque room was much harder. For a room that has complex puzzles, it is weird when some of the answers are shockingly dumb, with this being “hard” we were expecting to work with more challenging puzzles, so we ended up always spending more time thinking it was more than just “read it backwards” or something dumb. It was fine, but probably comes second in my mind at this venue
The Last Of ThemRush Escape Game - St KildaEscape roomIRLThe storyline was clear enough, except the end was actually quite unrelated (you think you’re trying to escape and then suddenly there’s an antidote thing going on) , and the rooms were pretty cool. Some of the puzzle elements took a bit too long to make the connections but that’s okay. It isn’t a lot of puzzles, more just complex sections. When I reflect on it there really isn’t many to solve. Not scary, but obviously horror themed. It was decent fun.
Monsters IncRush Escape Game - South YarraEscape roomIRLA really fun room! The design was super cool! The puzzles weren’t particularly challenging but they were fun, so it biggest time waster was just us not reading signs properly. Managed to set a monthly record, which made it all the more enjoyable !
MAUI’s TreasureEntermission VR MelbourneEscape roomIRLReally fun, cute room. The mechanics worked really well and helped with immersion! Some of the answers were hard to find but we got there in the end. Genuinely fun room that’s really well built, I honestly wish they had more in person rooms rather than the VR
停尸房 (恐怖季) [The Morgue (Haunted)]Xcape SingaporeEscape roomIRLThis room was frustrating and not in the good way. There was no indication of a starting point, so it took some time to get going. We were significantly delayed by puzzle mechanics not working. Even having to call in and have the game masters unsure of why it wasn’t working. There was some cool moments like a release of items from the ceiling, but I wonder if you had more than 2 people, they may have been hit on the head with falling items. We also had a moment of fright when an unlocked door locked again (with no purpose) separating us. Had an overall bad time.
