6 escape rooms

Highly recommend. Very clever and creative story, and each room flowed really well into the next with all of the puzzles relating to the story. This experience was very immersive, very unique story, with the rooms being so well put together. It's a mix between an escape room and a fun house. The puzzles definitely make you think and it's a great combination of unlocking padlocks, digital elements, triggered events, and clever puzzles. The GM was brilliant, super passionate and knew what she was doing. Our experience at The Curium Experience began the moment we walked into the venue. We were a team of 2 and we definitely could have benefited from 1 extra player, but we made it through with about 5mins to spare and no clues used. Our GM actually mentioned that she turned off the audio hints that play into the room as we were progressing really well. We will definitely return once their new room has been completed. 10/10 would do again.

Creative and unique. Not just clues and padlocks, but a whole experience with fun and challenging puzzles.

Our GM was brilliant! She was in full character, gave us all important information in a very clever introduction.

I loved that it wasn't a "traditional" escape room. The physical elements with how they meshed with the mental puzzles.

Amazing escape room! The way the space was used was fantastic. Our game master was lovely and energetic. Unique puzzles set design and physicality components. Only drawback was feeling like we were rushed along as some puzzles were skipped because we were taking too long making us feel confused and feeling a lack of satisfaction from solving the puzzle itself which is why i love escape rooms in the first place.

This has been our most impressive escape room yet! The set is such high quality and the rooms and puzzles were of a very high quality, the climbing and slide is a good touch too!

Truly an experience. We are lucky enough to find another 2 joining us. Normally I don’t like puzzles really need me to do or fix sth but this one is different. Even we need to actually do a lot of things rather than padlock only, I found logics flow well. For anyone who enjoyed heart of mountain should really play this one, this is next level.

We really enjoyed this experience and absolutely found it unique to other escape rooms in Melbourne. The space is so expansive and movie-like and the theme (Area 51) is very much consistent throughout. You can tell how much thought and care has been put into this escape room, and the GM we were assisted by was super passionate and clearly cared very much about our experience and the room more broadly. We found there was a solid mix of puzzles, the first room being more like your 'traditional' escape room and then moving onto more unique and physical puzzles. We liked how there was a range of different difficulties too which made it achievable playing as 2 people! From the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave, you're very much immersed in the experience. We've never done an escape room that felt like such a cohesive experience throughout.

This was a spectacular escape room. It’s genuinely epic - book in! As it’s in a warehouse, they’re able to create a truly immersive experience on such a large scale that it really makes you feel like you’re trying to get through Area 51. The clues are artfully done, they are so immersive that they almost don’t feel like clues. But the clues’ integration into the story hasn’t compromised their quality. You can tell that this room was designed by escape room fans, for escape room fans. Michael, our game master, was great! He so generous with his time, and spent plenty of time debriefing the game with us.

I do not think this was a wheelchair friendly experience. However there may be workarounds that weren’t visible to us.

For fellow tourists, it was a really easy tram ride from the city centre.

One of the best escape room / immersive experiences we’ve had thus far! Hard to top this one. Different from your traditional escape room, such an incredibly immersive and interactive experience from start to finish. The lighting, special effects and technology in each of the rooms was next level!! Our GM was super friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely one we wish we could experience for the first time all over again! Will definitely be back for their next room :D
