Strange things are happening at the Burlesque. You're going in undercover to investigate a series of mysterious disappearances. Behind the glamour and mystery lies a dark secret that someone is desperate to keep hidden. Can you solve the mystery and escape before its too late? Burlesque is a fully immersive Escape Room that is taking the concept of a traditional Escape Room to a whole new level. Burlesque was created by the formidable team of escapeXperience and Escape Room Melbourne. "We went back for their new Burlesque room in October and we were absolutely floored by the experience. Burlesque is more than just a room of puzzles, its thrilling..." David L TripAdvisor Oct 2015

What a great room! Classic murder mystery and we loved the entrance to the room. This room was old school lock and key but the puzzles flowed really well and game master interaction was great. Set was immersively designed but again fell into the trap of a lot of do not touch signs (although not as many as the Clockworks room). This was the better of the two rooms we played, Iβd give this one a 7/10

Burlesque really set the bar for how an escape room should be - Iβve done many rooms since this one, and this is still my favourite. Truly outstanding

The 2nd of the escape rooms I have completed at EscapeXperience. My Partner had done this one before with a friend but thought it was so good she just had to take me to do it aswell. I tend to agree. The room was very well themed with a high production value with a very immersive introduction to the room. There was some very fun puzzles that we haven't seen in other rooms before. The story and puzzle flow felt very natural even though we had access to multiple puzzles at once. Could not recommend this room more.

A really well designed room with heaps of on theme puzzles that I thoroughly enjoyed. The flow of the room was clear with an interesting, interactive opening that fitted well within the story. The set design was eclectic and fun which made the hunting around for clues a good level of difficult, further enhancing the detective vibe. Clearly a lot of care and love has gone into this room with everything feeling polished and thought out. Our Game Master Nathan was a jet, running a couple rooms by himself he did a great job with the story and made us feel very welcome.

This room is so good, I've done it twice! One of the best in Melbourne with the team who introduced escape rooms to Melbourne. Loads of detail, an intricate and interesting story to work with, and a sense of mystery and threat that hangs over your head the entire time. There's lots of surprises and elements in this room that I have not experienced anywhere else.
Highly immersive and really enjoyable
Excellent! It really puts you in another time and I forgot where I was while playing.
Could not fault them at all.
Yes
Unique in many ways and with some very cool and interesting elements added in!
Great story, with awesome clues and flow to work with.

Initially hard but it slowly gets easier to understand as you go.

Very hands on and interactive. Everyone was doing something at most times.

4 seemed ideal. I did it with 2 (myself and 1 other) the first time, and it also worked well, but 4 was a lot of fun.
Spooky
Definitely a spooky and sometimes creepy vibe to this one, but in a great way

Basic walking and movement around the room. some bending down to move through smaller spaces.
Dimly lit for atmosphere, so vision impaired or colour blind might struggle to see at the same level as others.

Lots of parking in the surrounding areas but it gets very busy at night on weekends so plan ahead with an extra 15 mins to park and walk over.

As close as you can get to a perfect escape room. Great theming, wide assortment of puzzles, and a story that creates a sense of urgency. Burlesque has a balanced difficulty that suits all levels of experience and kept us engaged from start to finish. One of my all-time favourites.
