Dracula

Hailed as “the hardest room in WA” my friends and I felt pretty up to the task going in but were met with just a wave of non-sensical puzzles. The 1% escape rate isn’t attributed to the challenge or difficulty of the room but more so the overwhelming amount of things to complete combined with the unexplainable method in which you need to complete them. The Gamemaster herself was unable to explain a maths-heavy puzzle to us post game which I think says all it needs to. The bottom of the barrel when it comes to Escape This.

Not my favourite experience at escape this- went in a big group, which the space suits well, but with lots of people working on different puzzles all with audio queues it was a little difficult to follow. Also there were several puzzles with multiple solutions which meant you were left trying to use things you hadn’t used that weren’t necessary anymore.

Wow. Bram Stoker would not be pleased. Boasting itself as "The Hardest Escape Room in WA" I went in expecting a challenge and boy did I get one. Unfortunately this challenge was mainly one of "try not to do the puzzle a different way" mixed with "now what do I do with this item that has no discernible meaning". The room's low success rate comes not from a space of interesting brainteasing puzzles but instead from it's sheer amount average puzzles set out with little to no discernible order or flow. We completed SEVERAL puzzles in a way that confused our Game Master, who was unable to explain some aspects of the room leading to a very unsatisfying conclusion to a very poorly thought out room. Oh and the storyline made literally no sense.
