Plagued

Had an awesome time at Plagued at Scram Escape Rooms Penrith. As usual with Scram, the theming and immersion are top-notch – the atmosphere really pulls you into the story. There’s a great variety of puzzles, all well tied to the theme, which makes the whole experience suspenseful and fun. We’re seasoned escape room players, and we found this one to be on the harder side. It might benefit from a little more time, since there’s alot to do and getting stuck on one or two puzzles can really doom your chances at escaping. Overall, definitely one of the better Scram rooms out there!

We had a blast doing this room. Great flow, story and atmosphere.

Really liked this one! The plague theme felt unique and the rustic props and morbid vibe matched it well. A couple of mild jump scares added to the tension and atmosphere. Some challenging and abstract puzzles mixed in with some easy ones. Fun times!

This was such a great escape room! The staff here are amazing, and really added to the experience. There were heaps of puzzles to solve which nearly took us through the whole hour (but we escaped). We really really really enjoyed this room! We played all 3 rooms there (even one that hasn’t been advertised as being open and were only the 2nd official group to go through the room) and all 3 of their rooms were phenomenal! Best we have done in ages! Highly recommend!!!!

Plagued is a well themed and designed room, the puzzle is fun and make sense. Scary factor was in the right mix

It had been a while since I last visited Scram Penrith (having done The Sorcerer’s Secret), but this time we took on Plagued. Our Gamesmaster Jess (who also designed the room!) welcomed us with a friendly smile, and that warmth carried through the whole experience. The set design is stunning — everything fits perfectly in theme, creating a suspenseful atmosphere where you’re constantly expecting something to jump out (and maybe it does…). The dim lighting adds tension without ever feeling frustrating, and there’s no shortage of puzzles and tasks to keep everyone busy. Difficulty-wise, I’d call it a Hard-Medium. With three of us, we just scraped through with seconds left on the clock, using teamwork and a couple of clutch solves to make it out. The finish was something special, and we left buzzing.

A great room and overall great experience with the GM Jess. Lots of puzzles and the sequential nature made it clear the path you had to take to escape. Great atmosphere and decorations throughout. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

Great atmosphere and themes. I’d recommend for an older audience even though there are no jump scares the rooms are dimly lit and dark at times which could be frightening for younger players.

Easily the best immersive room design I’ve seen and puzzles are unique with brand new ideas I haven’t encountered before. Loved every second of this spooky theme!
