The Flaming Pearl

Had a Great night at Eclipse Escape tonight with Hannah and Dani. Felt very welcomed. The rooms were explained to us excellently and we had a Great time. Having only escaped one Room tonight would recommend more than two Escapees for this room as there are so many puzzles to complete. With the Design of the room and so much to see. 75 minutes flies by. Good luck guys

I recently completed the Flaming Pearl escape room with my partner for a special occasion, and we had an absolutely fantastic time! Having now experienced all of Eclipse’s escape rooms, I can confidently say that you can’t go wrong with any of them. The owner clearly pours so much heart and soul and creativity into each of these rooms, and Flaming Pearl is no exception. It is a valuable and unique addition to Surfers Paradise! From the moment you step inside, the room is visually exciting, with beautiful props and intricate details that seamlessly link together, and into the story. The puzzles themselves are fun and challenging, blending familiar games with creative twists. There’s just the right amount of challenge to keep you moving at a good pace. I highly recommend giving Flaming Pearl or any of the rooms at Eclipse a try. I can’t wait to see what the team at Eclipse comes up with next!

We absolutely loved this room! From start to finish it was beautiful, flowed well and was exciting. Some puzzles were challenging, but we loved that it was all high tech and represented the room well. Would highly recommend this room to anyone!

I would like to preface this by noting that the only two negative reviews for ‘The Flaming Pearl’ have been left by owner/operators of a neighbouring escape room located just 50 metres away from Eclipse. While they are clearly experienced players, it’s worth considering that their feedback does not fully reflect the experience offered by this room. The theme of a heist within a Chinese antique store in ‘The Flaming Pearl’ is unique and unlike any other in Australia. The puzzles are diverse, with many flowing naturally from one to the next, and the tracker for the room’s 12 zodiac animals is cleverly represented by a large wheel on the wall. This reinforces the theme and places the concept of the zodiac and the flow of animals at its core. From what I understand, the specific flow of animals is drawn from literature, so it is clear that significant time and effort went into creating this experience. There are cute moments, “a-ha” moments, and celebratory moments throughout the room. The feedback for each step of the game is enjoyable, and the way the room maintains an almost entirely textless experience is impressive. The puzzles make sense, and no leaps of logic are required to solve any part of the room. Some puzzles are tricky, to be sure, but not abstract. It’s a packed experience, busy with a mix of familiar and innovative puzzle designs, all with a focus on player enjoyment. We were a team of two, and while we didn’t rush, we took 68 minutes to complete the room—so you truly get your money’s worth. This was one of my favourite Eclipse experiences to date, and I can’t wait for their next game!

The theming of this room was nice and the space was used well however found that it fell a little bit short in terms of some of the play elements. This room is very linear in which you are guided to work on certain puzzles at once, these puzzles are also in isolated areas so do not need to do much searching kind of making it feel more like a puzzle room then escape room. Some of the puzzles could have been better worked to incorporate with the theme but overall definitely a must do escape room on the Gold Coast. We played as a group of two experienced players and finished with plenty of time left with no hints, but would be suitable for groups of 3-6.

This was by far one of my family’s favourite rooms, we are a team of 3 and completed it with minutes to spare, the quality of props and puzzles in this room were just outstanding, it was so satisfying and exciting to go from puzzle to puzzle, I wish there were more rooms like it. It’s so different to other rooms but hard to describe it without giving too much away. I was actually shocked to see a negative review about this room as I can’t imagine anyone doing this room and not loving it.. we have completed most escape rooms on the Gold Coast and Eclipse are by far our favourite rooms☺️we can’t wait for new rooms ☺️

The Flaming Pearl is a great room room with excellent theming and stunning props. It has a very well designed, intuitive puzzle flow with a huge variety of puzzles, all on theme.

This room was outstanding! The puzzles were very unique, challenging but made sense and were so satisfying to complete. There is a good flow with flexibility for multiple people to find things to do while having a coherent story to play through. Props and furnishings felt really high quality and, possibly since the room is newer, everything is in pristine condition. Great ambience and mood overall. Super nice game master, you can tell this is a passion project and not a low effort corporate slapped together room. Will be back to do the rest of their games!

This room was great! Utilised a theme that is very unique, something we hadn’t experienced before and the room was decorated to match the theme perfectly. The incorporation of the wheel was an intricate way to help determine which puzzle to focus on and it worked well with the story. Lots of different puzzles throughout this room which all came together nicely at the end. This room was huge and there was a lot to get through, I’d recommend groups of 3 but it was doable with 2 experienced players. Overall another nice room from Eclipse, and we can’t wait to see what’s next
