The Forbidden Jungle was actually a staff recommendation due to its higher difficulty and it didn’t disappoint! The room uses the space really well hiding away a mountain of content all organised in a very satisfying, multi-linear 4 path format. I had a great time. The utilisation of the Jumanji board game was a nice touch as it was used multiple times and played a massive role in the story, making our overall objective clear the entire time. The puzzles themselves didn’t feel super tricky but there were definitely enough of them to feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. If you’re going to Padlock’d and aren’t a big fan of horror, Jungle is my pick if you’re looking for a really well rounded, satisfying experience. 6.4/10 🔏🧩

In the heart of Surfers Paradise, very limited parking on a busy Cavil Ave.

A fun room and great for some Jumanji nostalgia. A bit frustrating because traffic down from Brisbane was horrendous and we arrived ten minutes late to find out they'd forced our earlier friend to start on the dot, meaning she spent the first ten minutes trying to do the room solo. We'd have rathered losing time off the end (since we knew we wouldn't need it), and asked for that option but were told our friend had to start or we'd lose our booking. Although I understand the importance of running on schedule, we felt we offered a fair option and would have appreciated some flexibility.
As mentioned in the review, some understanding and flexibility would have been really appreciated.

Not as challenging as difficulty rating suggests, puzzles were quite basic in nature. Good theming and atmosphere but staff weren’t very engaging or approachable

Not my favourite. Mechanic did not work first time round. For experienced escape roomers the individual puzzles were not particularly challenging.

We escaped this one, and then brought the kids back to play it with us! Absolutely love it, just like Jumanji, without the massive clean up afterwards 😆

Sound room. Staff are incredible and definitely love their jobs! Logical puzzles and very number based. Wasn't overly hard. There are definitely better rooms in the area.
Flowed well
