The House On The Hill

Loved it! Love a spooky haunted experience. This was a fun story with some really creative puzzles. As with all, very linear, lots of down time if you aren't the one doing the current puzzle. Small group recommended.

Great theming and fun puzzles. Everything toes the line of fitting the horror stereotypes while not being too obvious. Also, might be a little scary for small children but wasn't scary otherwise.

Another fantastic room at Escape Rooms Canberra. The puzzles fit the theme very well. Overall, it was not high difficulty but it didn't just give you the answer right away either. There was some very clever puzzles that were fun to work with. I would say that this room is ideal for smaller groups of 2 or 3 at most. Since the puzzles are linear, you are only working on one at a time so more people doesn't help. We enjoyed the spooky theme of the room too.

We had a great time in this eerie Salem-themed room, a concept that is right up my alley. Great combination of traditional padlocks, mechanical contraptions, and well-hidden hi-tech puzzles. Nothing too outrageous or spectacular, but the solid theming and atmosphere made it a really worthwhile experience. Our family of 4 completed it in only 35 minutes without a clue but definitely felt busy and challenged.

The spooky number from ERC, The House on the Hill is a masterclass in puzzle flow and set design coming together into a perfect symphony. Every puzzle felt like it made sense in the space and did a great job of making you feel like you’re moving in the correct direction. Some spooky jumpscare moments but nothing too insane for those who are horror averse. The storyline also felt pretty apparent, leading from the haunted house trope into more of a witchy, secondary vibe which I was really rocking with. The set feels super high quality and well thought out which is evident across every ERC room. Definitely an experience I would recommend to all experience levels whether it’s your first room or your 100th

Another banger from Escape Rooms Canberra here with their take on the notorious haunted house trope. Having played my fair share of spooky supernatural rooms I did have some reservations about this one but I can confidently say the House on the Hill absolutely nailed it. The prop and set design were the real MVPs here with a fantastic array of immaculate looking haunted objects to play and interact with. You can tell this level of quality and upkeep is an aspect that ERC really cares about. While we did escape quite quickly that’s really more of a testament to the amazing puzzle flow and sign posting that I really wish more rooms would incorporate; labelled locks for each puzzle, clear cut objectives, and an over arching narrative that kept making itself known to us. Love it. A terrific spooky addition to an already stellar line up of rooms. Hell yeah. 8.6/10 🔏🧩

House on the Hill was the first room we took on in Canberra over the long weekend. Greeted by warm, friendly faces, we were eager to get started. As soon as we walked into the room, we noticed the brilliant theming and production value. The sounds, lighting, and quality of the fit-out were excellent, creating an immersive experience from the start. There were a few dark moments and jump scares that further added to the atmosphere. The puzzles in House on the Hill were excellent, offering a nice variety that included both lower-tech and higher-tech challenges. Each puzzle made sense in the space and was perfectly suited to the room's theme. Overall, we all thoroughly enjoyed the room. It was a great start to our weekend of escape rooms, and we would recommend it as a top-quality experience for both beginners and experienced escape artists.

Highly recommend. Very fun and keeps you on your toes. A bit scary!
