The year is 1666, and the Black Death is sweeping through the village. Your family has fallen ill, and your home has been marked with a red cross - sealed shut by the authorities. No one enters. No one leaves. But whispers tell of a cure— perhaps hidden within an apothecary shoppe. It may be your only chance to save your family. Will you find the cure in time, or does a far worse fate await?

Plagued is a great room with a good variety of puzzles The set is really cool and did feel like we were in a village and going from house to house trying to find a cure the town. The actors do interact you a little bit but they are timed very well. The puzzles are on the medium side in terms of difficulty but there is a good variation of them and a decent amount of them. Honestly just a very solid room, the flickering lights are a bit annoying at times though.

In general, all scram rooms make good use of their space, as was the case of plagued. Their story elements also help drive the puzzles, which I think is a strong suite of theirs, with good incorporation in a range of puzzles. The small amount of lighting provided did flicker in and out sometimes which was kind of stress inducing.

hate that moment when your entire village is wiped out by the black plague ughhhhh
some cool stuff in here. difficulty wise was in the medium range, but i think having a group of four did make it easier. might be on the harder side for smaller teams.
this game was hella dark. which was great atmosphere wise and made perfect sense considering the game is set in 1666, but not so great for me (a coward). they do provide a minor light source but ts was not enough to give me peace of mind 😭

I didn’t have too much expectations for this one as we normally don’t do any scary rooms plus there is an live actor. While we ended up with a lot of surprise, it’s unlike other scrame rooms, it’s a new level. The puzzles flow so great, everything just works out so smoothly, 3 of us just escape right in time. We will try butcher next time for sure.

Loved this one despite having a massive fear of the dark! The puzzles were plentiful, unique, and challenging. We made it through with 4 mins to spare. I was lucky enough to have my fiance to cling onto when I was spooked as it is quite a dark set of rooms, and we did request no live actors because the dark was enough for me. Our gamemaster Crystal was friendly, informative, and really respectful of us and my fears, 10/10!!

Plagued was the first room we have done at Scram, and we highly enjoyed it. With live actors and jump scares, this room was taken to a whole new level. The storyline is shown all the way through. You have multiple rooms to work your way through, solving numerous puzzles along the way. Some can be completed at the same time but others had to be completed in order. The stuff was realistic and there were many different styles of puzzles in this room. Staff were friendly and we had a great experience. Highly recommended.

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!

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!!!!
