Unlike your typical escape room, Seance, from start to finish, is played completely seated. Welcome to the Abercrombie Mansion. The new owner has requested your help! After discovering a cursed artefact in the mansion, they have requested you, as ghost hunters, to perform a seance and gain a spirt’s trust. This spirit not only haunts the mansion, but is also said to have the key to unlocking the strange artefact. Take a seat, be our guest but be wary on who you trust.

Had an absolute fun doing the seance today Usually single room escape rooms raise an eyebrow but was pleasantly surprised with how this experience went down. It's definitely a unique experience with things usually a short distance away from the seat. Have to say the puzzles were innovative enough that it kept us on our toes. The set design and atmosphere are great. Extra props to the designers for completely blocking out all the lights and getting us immersed in the room. Along with the sound design which was top notch. It's also great to have any "do not touch" stickers within the room as it feels like the owners trust us as the escapees with the puzzle not to touch anything that doesn't need to be touched. It's also great for immersion. Me and my partner were able to complete the room with some time to spare and have a great conversation with owners to learn more about escape rooms and the puzzles in the seance. Would highly recommend!

A few environmental jump scares here and there, best to close your eyes when it happens if you're a bit scared of it.

Loved it. Unique take on the escape room that I was skeptical about until I actually experienced it. Our group has varied response to live actors but everyone loved it and it wasn’t too scary. Can’t wait for more of their rooms to open. Recommend ++.

What a truly unique and fun experience. We had some reservations about the whole game taking place in a single room where you remain seated the whole time, but the designers ingeniously kept the game engaging, atmospheric and immersive with a cool storyline, varied puzzles that fit flow and fit the theme, and some well-timed scares that my kids (11 and 12) had no problems with. Definitely a worthwhile experience for newbies and enthusiasts alike. Can’t wait for their new room!

Excellent concept. I was genuinely I'm sure how this was going to work sitting around a table, but it meant that the puzzles were very unique. I wouldn't rate this room as particularly difficult, considering that two of us got out in 42 minutes. However for the pure novelty of the experience, one of the best rooms in Sydney.

By far our favourite room of all time. Seance is so unbelievable polished. You can tell there has been a lot of love and effort put into the creation of this room. Such a cool premise, the entire room is happens entirely around a table as you try to communicate with a spirit. A few jump scares, but you can see them coming and close your eyes if needed (like my wife did). I only wish we could forget the puzzles and do it again.

An incredibly unique and immersive game. Suitable for experienced players and those new; very logical and flowing puzzles with a few scares along the way!!

Seance is a must see if you’re in Sydney and if you’re looking for an escape room. The atmosphere, aesthetics and puzzle design are all meticulously crafted - and it’s evident so much passion has gone into this room. Josh and Daniel, the two owners - are friendly, warm and inviting - and even took extra time out of their day to walk us through their up and coming ideas for their next room. Highly recommend checking this one out!!
