The Flaming Pearl

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!! The whole vibe was amazing and I loved how a lot of the puzzles had us turning our heads and we really had to think a lot. It’s been a while since we’ve had a good challenge so this was super fun and the vibe overall was so cool. Eclipse is pretty tech heavy when it comes to their rooms which is awesome to see since some other escape rooms rely on heavy live actors or atmosphere to get by, but a lot of the puzzles in this room were really well done. Also staff were amazing and sweet as always.

Great high tech room Lots of puzzles but with clear direction, so teams can split up with confidence

was a super cool room! was very well themed, although it was a bit tricky i had so much fun with all the puzzles and the gms are always so lovely and helpful when needed!

Would 100% recommend Eclipse & all of their puzzles to anyone! No questions asked.

Amazing room. This was our second time at Eclipse and it was just as good. Flaming Pearl was a great room and very family friendly. We are two adults with two teenage kids and we made it through the room just in time. Maja was a great game master - very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic. It's hard to properly articulate what it is about The Flaming Pearl that is so special. There are a wide variety of unique and clever puzzles, and that's what makes the game fun, but what makes the room special is that those puzzles are in an environment that makes solving puzzles a joy. The room itself is so aesthetically pleasing that there's a feeling of tranquility that washes over you as you race against the clock. It's not that it's surprising, it's that it's spacious and carefully designed, and is the sort of environment you'd love to spend an hour in. Some escapes can be cramped but The Flaming Pearl gives you room to breathe and think and take it all in.

XUE HUAAAAA PIAO PIAO BEI FENG XIAO XIAO A very Chinese room for a very Chinese time in my life, Flaming Pearl was probably the best use of the Zodiac themed room I've come across. The puzzles, sound effects, and gorgeous set dressing combine for a room that is both fun to be in and also entertaining to solve. I'm a big fan of a room that uses some sort of tracking system to show which puzzles are and are not complete and THE BIG WHEEL could be my favourite iteration. Especially useful in a room that is absolute puzzle city such as this one, I had a genuinely great time.

YEAR OF THE HORSE! GIDDY UP! 🐴 Yet another spectacular room from Eclipse, Flaming Pearl is an absolute dream for all the puzzle nerds out there! 12 Chinese zodiacs, 12 unique challenges, the progression of which are all visually depicted in a super clever and satisfying way (BIG WHEEL). It’s a god damn mammoth room in the best kind of way. Even for a group of 7, Flaming Pearl was absolutely perfect in regard to its spacing, difficulty and multi-linearity; everyone in the group had something to work on at all times and the solves never felt dull or tedious. I guess the only real point of contention would be the narrative (there’s a special pearl, go get it) but honestly, it didn’t matter. Everything we worked through was so beautifully segmented, it was unadulterated puzzle-solving at its finest. A genuine must-play if you’re in the Gold Coast, Eclipse are moving different. https://youtube.com/shorts/5b2d_mGoP_w?si=W_mMM-gRbAYUCn-2 9.3/10 🔏🧩

Clearly lots of time and effort has been put into this room. Hats off to the designers. If you enjoy linear puzzles and working shoulder to shoulder with your escape room soul mate, this room could be challenging.

Overall a good room - interesting puzzles made for interesting gameplay but it didn’t feel particularly immersive. Throughout the gameplay it felt like we were solving puzzles adjacent to a shopping centre rather than being transported into the world of their story.
