Mission Failed

Yes I did get arrested… Mission Failed is a great escape game out here in Pakenham. It combines two spaces over the venue to conveniently deliver the storyline in a fun and gamified manner. The puzzles and clues were all organised in a smooth flow between props located in the room. Overall, this room is definitely the most under rated room I’ve been to!!

I actually found this one really fun - the puzzles were challenging enough and I liked the storyline and the pre-puzzle

First visit to Drop Bear and we’ll definitely back to finish off the story! We were slightly apprehensive, as there were only 2 of us and, while we both done plenty of escape rooms previously, we’d never done one together. However, this room was a lot of fun and we managed to escape with 21 minutes to spare. The storyline was great and we really appreciated the extra effort that went into the backstory prior to and upon entering the room. The flow was great, there was definitely a sense that each puzzle lead to the next. Julia (our host) was very friendly and welcoming and you can tell she’s doing something she loves. I’d definitely recommend this room and can’t wait to do the others!

A fun room with lots of puzzles with weird and wonderful themes! Alot of fun!

My first trip out to Drop Bear and certainly not my last. Mission Failed is an extremely well designed room beginning in the lobby and moving into a different space (spoiler free) we had a blast. The storyline made a lot of sense and I never felt lost with our objective whilst all of our actions felt like they were moving us onto the next thing, a flow that is sorely missed in some escape rooms now. These rooms are set up episodically so make sure you try and this first before moving to the other two. It’s not a necessity but will definitely enhance your experience. A room that clearly took a lot of love to design, I will definitely be back to check out the other two soon.

This is part 1 of a 3-part story arc encompassing all the physical rooms in this location. Our team of three players did all three rooms in one afternoon. All three rooms work well together seamlessly, but also function as individual rooms. Rick has put so much thought and effort into getting these into their current state & it was a pleasure to chat to him about them. This room has the simplest story line of the three rooms, very easy to follow & working well with the puzzles. The way this escape room starts is just hilarious, and sets up the experience very very well. We enjoyed this room very much.
